AI For Non-Techies | nontechies.ai

I believe AI should be accessible to everyone. 
So I built a business that teaches it in a simple, honest way. 

AI for Non-Techies (does what it says on the tin, really) offers: 

- AI training for teams (in-person or online)
- AI Academy for small businesses/freelancers 
- "Train the AI Trainer" courses 

Have a little look at what we do: https://nontechies.ai/

Oh, and a bit about me: 

- $75m revenue generated for clients using AI
- Working with brands such as Toyota, Mitsubishi, Google, Salesforce and many others 
- AI Consultant to UK government + local authorities
- Top 5 MarTech influencer globally
- On the ISO panel for AI and cyber security globally
- Winner: AI Trailblazer at the AI Revenue Summit 2024
- Winner: Top Women in SaaS 2024
- Featured regularly in Forbes Magazine
- International keynote speaker
- 20 years in marketing and sales (legal + finance)

I'm a humungous believer in doing your bit for your local community. I run Festive Friends, which provides free social events for older people who have no friends or family.  I believe AI has huge potential to reduce digital exclusion, too. 

To book training, speaking or a chat, contact my EA, Katie, who you can access via my email: heather@nontechies.ai.

Founder

AI for Non-Techies, born from a newsletter of the same name, was launched out of a clear need for non-technical AI education.   I'm deeply passionate and enthusiastic about helping non-technical people understand and integrate AI into their work and personal lives.

My business grew 5x last year
One simple workflow helped hugely
3 simple steps + 2 tools (£40ish total)

Step 1: Ramble to your heart’s content. No need for any structure. 

Step 2: Download that big rambly transcript 

Step 3: Upload it into your AI chatbot of choice with a good prompt.  

Ramble chat = solid gold. 

More info in the vid. 

PS How was this video? Useful? Crap? Too long? Distracted by the way I sat in that weird way? 

Please let me know as I’ll be doing more and want to get them right!

Fellow AI trainers, educators, course creators: 
Do you use AI to help build your courses?
I use it a LOT. 

This past few weeks, it’s been me and Klara, my Claude Project, absolutely smashing it in doing 300 hours of work in about 100 hours. 

You can use AI badly and get rubbish, generic, meh results.
Or you can use it well and get stuff that actually works. 

The quality of your prompts is a biggie here. 

So the lovely folk at Learnworlds and I have put our brains together and created this free Prompt Book for you all, sharing some of my favourites to help you along in 2026. 

📌 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 - stress-test your idea before you build anything 
📌 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 - design a logical learning journey using Bloom's Taxonomy 
📌 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗿 - turn messy feedback into a clear action plan 
📌 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿 - create activities that actually engage 
📌 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 - transform bullet points into natural, watchable video scripts 
📌 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 - write copy that sells the transformation 
📌 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘇 & 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - design assessments that test real understanding 
📌 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - proper ABCD-format objectives with the right Bloom's verbs 
📌 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁 - price with confidence, not guesswork 
📌 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - get crystal clear on exactly who you're teaching

Every prompt follows proper structure (role, task, context, constraints, output) so you get genuinely useful results - not generic AI waffle.

This will save you hundreds of hours and drive your training business forward in a whole new way. 
You’ll need to put good stuff in (ideas, thoughts, examples of previous content) in order to get the good stuff out. 

This year, I’m determined to take my AI-driven course creation to the next level, so I’m going to the online 𝗔𝗜 𝘅 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 from LearnWorlds to find out the latest in this space. If you're a course creator, trainer, or L&D professional - this is worth your attention.

To learn more about prompting and AI-driven instructional design, it’s a free online event (with handy certification,too): https://lnkd.in/e88x7Zwj

Eek - it's finally here! 🎉
12 (live) weeks of solid ChatGPT gold 
(And it starts next week)

ChatGPT is a MASSIVELY powerful tool for small businesses, but the vast majority of people I meet only use about 1% of its features and capabilities.

Designed specifically for solopreneurs, freelancers and small businesses, our brand new live course is led by the brilliant (and super lovely) Nick Crawford and is crammed with colourful, eye-opening value: 

Week 1: Feature map and what's possible
Week 2: How to prompt like a pro
Week 3: Create a content creation powerhouse
Week 4: Build your own AI workforce
Week 5: Explore Atlas, Connectors and more
Week 6: Sales and lead generation
Week 7: Financial clarity and planning
Week 8: Deep research and market intelligence
Week 9: Autopilot customer service
Week 10: Visual storytelling
Week 11: The power of Projects
Week 12: Hidden Tricks, Hacks & What's Next for ChatGPT

We don't believe in lecturing as learning - you'll get hands-on throughout the whole course, testing what you learn live and building practical skills.

The course culiminates in a final project to bring it all together.  Pass that (our team will mark them) and you'll get a lovely certificate to share on socials.

You can do this course with ChatGPT Plus (£20/mo) but for decent security we recommend ChatGPT Business (£30/mo, 2 user minimum) if there's more than one of you.  I'm afraid the free one won't be enough. 

PS Sssnoooowww! Has anyone else got tons of it round by them?! ☃️

Here's how I'm dodging tax from now on...

My accountant called me a menace last week 🤣

I sent her the receipt for some Nike Air Max 1s with C2C on 'em.

(Technically, they're a business expense)

And now, I want more...

By the end of the year, I want a whole display case of C2C x Nike collabs in my office.

I honestly never thought I'd see the day where I could buy trainers whenever I wanted.

The industry wants you burnt out and beige.
But I've gone for black, grey + yellow:

Custom trainers, structured freedom + a business that funds your lifestyle instead of consuming it.

If you're brave enough... what's something questionable you've put through your books?

Drop it in the comments...

------------

📌 PS: If you want to build a business that buys you custom Nikes (and gives you your evenings back)... the doors to C2C are open now.

Because if your business doesn’t fund your lifestyle and your shoe addiction… what’s the point?

5 coaches / consultants are gonna get started building their dream business (in school hours only). 

We officially kick off on 2nd Feb, but you can get access to everything instantly. 

DM me if you're in, or hit the link on my profile → Chris James

📌 Ex-Loser | C2C doors open until Friday @ 6pm

My daughter thinks I’m famous because I talk to a camera + eat snacks in my big chair with the purple lights on 🤣 

Same, Ivy. Same.

What do your kids think you do all day?

No alternative text description for this image

‘Consistent £10k months in 14 days’

Wait… what?

That’s not even possible 🤣

If you’re gonna talk about numbers…

Plz make sure they actually add up.

K. Thx. Bye

📌 PS → On 26th January I’m gonna help you make your LinkedIn profile magnetic, your content convert + your systems support growth.

I’ll put some clothes on too, promise

If you know you’re not making the most of LinkedIn, here’s the link: https://lnkd.in/eJNh7HdS

A post you write on the toilet at 6am is always gonna outperform one you’ve put thought, care + value into.

Don’t worry, no selfie today….

I wrote this on the toilet.

Tell me what your best performing post of the last year was about (and whether you wrote it on the toilet).

I need it for my algorithm report.

Confession time: I f-cking ❤️ spreadsheets.

I’ve been tracking EVERYTHING like a proper psychopath.

Since 1st of Jan I’ve dropped nearly a stone, eaten much cleaner + I’m stronger than ever.

Sleep is still a bit of a struggle, but hey ho...

Being awake is too exciting 🤣

Here’s what I put in my sheet every morning:

→ Calories
→ Protein
→ Carbs
→ Fibre
→ Fat
→ Sugar
→ Steps
→ Cals Burnt
→ Type
→ Sleep (hrs)
→ REM
→ Deep
→ Time In Bed
→ Weight (St)
→ BMI
→ Body Fat %
→ Body Energy
→ Brain Energy

Over the top? Maybe
Does it take ages? No - 5 mins every morning.

And it means I can focus in on the 1/2 things I need to.

We’ve started applying the same obsessive tracking in C2C.
Client wins, conversion rates, best performing posts…

And I can confidently tell you our clients generated over $100,000 in January alone.

The best business owners I know are secretly data obsessed.

They just don't talk about it because spreadsheets aren't sexy.

My client Sandie's made $123,000 in 11 months 🤯
That didn’t happen by accident.

On Wednesday we’re going live to talk about it.

Here’s the link →
https://lnkd.in/ekwwPmFm

📌 PS → If you want results like Sandie… 

and a calendar that actually lets you live…

The doors to C2C are open.

But this time… we’re only taking 5 people.

And they close at 6PM Friday, so you don’t have long.

We kick off next Monday, but you’ll get access to everything immediately.

Let’s tighten your offer, content + lead gen so you can work less + earn more.

For the love of all things holy, don’t fall for this trap.

You know the one:

‘Build it, and they will come’

No. They won’t 🤣

I’ve seen it too many times.

Someone spends months perfecting their course, recording hours of content, tweaking the colors, obsessing over the details…

Then finally the big launch day arrives!

And what happens?

F-k all.

The deafening sound of tumbleweed.
(I’m talking about me here too)

Lemme keep it 100 witcha:

Nobody cares about your masterpiece if it doesn’t solve their problems. The market doesn’t give a sh*t about your brilliant ideas unless you’ve done the work to validate them first.

You don’t need to build the course.

You need to build DEMAND.

→ Speak to your audience.
→ Find out what they actually want.
→ Pre-sell it, then create it alongside them.

This isn’t just better for them. It’s smarter for you. Because now you’re solving real problems for real people - not the imaginary ones you cooked up in the shower last Thursday.

📌 → If LinkedIn feels more like a ghost town than a goldmine, the LinkedIn Blueprint is for you.

We’ll cut the bs, show you how to get attention, talk about your offer + SELL IT.

Hit my Featured Section to grab your spot before time runs out.

I’m 39 (for a few more weeks)... 

And I speak to founders in their 40s + 50s every day... 

And they all believe the same 3 BS lies: 

1. I should’ve started sooner 
2. I don’t want to look desperate 
3. I don’t want to feel like a beginner again

But while you’re over there hesitating, someone with less experience but more confidence is taking up space that should be yours. 

You’ve already done the hard part. Don’t stop now. 

I’ve made a video that’ll help you break through your biggest limiting "content" beliefs in the next 30 days. 

DM me the word IDENTITY + I’ll send it straight over (no opt-in)

There's one content hack I suggest all our clients use.

It's the easiest thing ever...

Reposting. 

What’s the point in spending hours writing content if you’re never gonna use it again? 

And if you don’t have a system to store, track, plan + repurpose your content, you’re missing a trick.

Clients will film testimonials in SECONDS if you do this 🍿

“It’s like an addictive Netflix series for building a business”

A client said this to me about the C2C course material the other day + I laughed. 

Because I’m pretty sure it’s taken as long as some Netflix productions to create. 

We’re on Season 6 now + there’s no sign of it being decommissioned. 

What’s the best comparison anyone’s ever made of you/your business?

Let’s all share something BRUTAL today...

Share your screen time for the last 7 days. 

Let’s see what’s everyone’s been up to 🤣 

Here’s mine…

Disgusting

Stick yours in the comments

I could cry at the number of hours I’ve wasted doing this. 

No, not that! I used to overthink my LinkedIn profile. 

Change my headline every day. 
Fiddle with my banner in Canva for 14 hours straight. 
And don’t even get me started on the About section 🤣

I’ve created a free guide to optimising your LinkedIn profile in 10 minutes. 

So you can leave it alone and do some real work. 

Comment or DM PROFILE because I haven’t put it in my featured section yet.

Ever notice this that the harder you chase... 

The harder it gets...?

Been there.

I built a 7-figure biz and still felt stuck.

Until I learned this:

Ever feel like the harder you push in business, the less it works? Desperate for attention, but stay invisible. Great call with a client, then they gh

I built a 7-figure biz… then learned how to let go

Imagine making almost as much in 3 months as you did in the prior 9.

That’s what we helped Sandie do… 

When she joined C2C, she was scared to take time off + was actually losing sleep worrying about money

After a few weeks, something clicked (it always does 🤣)

Her results are crazy:

📈 $77K in revenue Jan-Sept
📈 +$46K in Sept-Dec

Join us in this live to see how she: 

✨ Stopped the feast‑or‑famine cycle
✨ Gained clarity on pricing & value
✨ Reclaimed time with her family
✨ Got stability she’d never had

See you there.

B2B Copywriter: $124k on LinkedIn with no ads...

Promised myself I wouldn’t get my haircut until I’d sorted my new video setup. 

Promised myself I wouldn’t sort the video setup until I’d got the C2C 6.0 product 80% of the way there. 

Yesterday was that day. 

No longer looking unkept ✂️ 

Been doing MINIMAL marketing/content for the last 2 months.  Time to turn it up a notch. 

————-

Two things are happening tomorrow. 

1 - Doors open to C2C again, but only for 5 people

2 - Im running the LinkedIn Blueprint LIVE.  Come and ask my anything, and get lifetime access & updates to the whole course.
