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.

2025 was absolutely mental 🤯
£100k months, huge brands, big stages
But I also worked to dangerous levels
Here's how I'm planning to tackle 2026:

The year just gone was both the most successful AND the most unhealthy I've had. 

• We got ourselves from £20k/mo to £115k/mo, breaking the elusive "million pound month" barrier
• Both Google and Microsoft got in touch to praise what we do and how we're teaching people the tools they've built
• We had some of the world's biggest brands come to us for their AI training - and were delighted with the results
• I presented on some humongous stages, alongside celebrities and academics

BUT 

• I worked more hours than I've ever worked, often doing 12-14 hours a day and 7 day weeks, at full speed, full effort
• I had frequent nightmares and disturbed sleep, and my anxiety disorder got noticeably worse
• My friends and family were constantly telling me they were worried about me

I burnt myself out completely. 
It isn't big, it isn't clever. 
It's bloody dangerous.

I closed the business for 2 weeks over Christmas, and have had a lot of time to think deeply about how I will approach the coming year. 

1. 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
   I'm a massive, perfectionist bottleneck. I'll be carefully (but continuously) hiring for key roles and building strong, documented systems and standards that don't rely on me to deliver.
   
2. 𝗦𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗼 (𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀)
   We've set ambitious growth targets for 2026, aiming for £280k/mo by Dec 2026. If an opportunity doesn't serve those goals, it's a no. Even if it sounds fun. Even if it's flattering. Even if there's free food. No.

3. 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀
   Set hours. Hard stops. No more "just one more email", no more "quick weekend catch-up" that turns into a 14-hour day. 

I'm ridiculously proud of what we achieved in 2025 - AI for Non-Techies has done SO much. 

In 2026, I'm keeping the fierce ambition but I'll be just as fierce about ditching the unhealthy habits. 
 
💬 What's one thing you'll be doing differently this year?

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

2026-AI-Training-Brochure

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?! ☃️

Kunal Kukreja

So last post before signing off!

I'm not gonna lie, switching off, uninstalling IS HARD!!!

Reason?

CHANGE!!!!

We are creatures of habit, it's very difficult to break a pattern or habit

Especially when its something we love!

And I freaking love all of u!

Ranging from the wise ones like Kimberly Maurer  BS, LPN, Pearl mum, the new people with "blocking threats" like Suzy big sis hehe, to the ones whom I'm with everyday like Phyllis big sis, Ireland big sis, Rachelle mama, Sophie big sis!

And the list goes on!

To tell u all, I'm going to the White Sand Desert in the Rann of Kutch....a BEAUTIFUL PLACE!

And best part, with my mum!

So definitely it's difficult for me to NOT come online here...I'll miss u guys so so so much!!

But what's needed is needed

So today's one last post before I uninstall tomorrow 

And I'll be coming back on 23rd

Till that time,.love u and take care!

What are the trips you're planning in 2025?

#travelling

POLL NUMBER 2!!

So on Monday, the 19th, I'm off to a trip to The Rann Of Kutch, the white sand desert in my country !

And guess with whom, WITH MY MOM!

My first ever trip with her for 5 days, and gosh I'm so so excited!!!

Now a suggestion, should I continue posting here, or uninstall Linkedin altogether?

I mean...I'll miss u guys and at the same time, want to be completely with mum!

I'd love your suggestions!

#trip

What would u suggest me in regards of staying online or offline during the trip?

GIVING RELATIONSHIP A SECOND CHANGE

Poll time! 

And yes, the last "real help" poll before 19th, otherwise, my Suzy big sis will get me blocked for being online on a trip 😱😱❤️ (love u for that big sis hehe)

Anyways....so I was speaking to my ex date today, we had a long conversation....and she said one thing

"We all deserve a second chance, I made a mistake, I'm ready to amend it....together"

Emphasis on the last word.

To put into context, she's the one who had cheated on me for another stranger...and it seems that didn't work out that well for her

Now...I am confused

1. One side says I want to not take a chance, once a cheat is always a cheat 

2. Other side wants to forgive and become a friend...but not jump into dating.

And ..yeah this is what is going on right now

And tomorrow, I'll be meeting her in college 😱

So guys, help your boy out pls 🙏🙏🙏.

Should I give that relationship a second chance?

I gotta thank Rachael mum for today's post.

It took me back to a past experience of mine, with a few people, even someone here on this platform (the same..."you're draining" person)

When I mentioned about the emotional abuse and trauma with dad, I was actually asked a couple of things

1. Why aren't u medicating yourself ?
2. Your trauma is gonna make u diseased, where is your list of medicines?

And I was APPALLED, and I actually had some tears in my eyes 🥺🥺

Why u ask? This is a simple question right?

Not exactly...because

Why do we take medicine? Especially when its related to our mind... definitely there's a thing of being "diseased"... 

Not in the general sense..but if u read the 2nd question, the thing of "diseased" comes more upfront.

No I'm not pitying myself...it's not to spread weakness.

It's to make one thing clear

TRAUMA IS NOT DISEASE!!!!

It's an unpleasant experience, can be an aftermath to something very serious, but no it's definitely NOT A DISEASE

Speaking to loved ones, self care practices WITHOUT adding a foreign chemical can DEFINITELY help!

So whenever u see trauma and disease coming as one thing...

SPEAK UP!  Look at the way people like Kimberly Maurer  BS, LPN , Rachael mum, Alice big sis, Cheryl mama speak up, they don't wanna bring comfort, they wanna bring A REVOLUTION!

And I don't stand up to these queens, not even the slightest, but I can just do my bit, to speak what I feel is the truth!

So again, never hesitate to use your voice, IT MATTERS!

How do u view trauma as? Do u think trauma is a disease?
