Had to jump on and show you my new work uniform 😄 Pink is my absolute favourite colour… and with the UK weather right now, it’s spot on. I got this at the end of a Copilot session and it made me laugh more than it should have. “Talk to my agent.” (For those of you still getting to grips with AI, my “agent” lives inside Word, Excel and PowerPoint and does the heavy lifting for me!) I’m keeping the hat. And intend on wearing it to meetings as much as possible! 🤣 𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿 - 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘀!

Our 7 Day AI Challenge has launched and can be found here in the classroom. Built for real humans with busy lives. No tech skills required. No complicated setup. No “this feels like homework” energy. Just 2–3 minutes per day of playful prompts, surprising responses, and those “wait… AI can do THAT?” moments. This is the kind of challenge where you: 🤖 Ask AI ridiculous things 🤖 Laugh at the answers 🤖 Stumble into genuinely useful tricks 🤖 Realise AI is far less intimidating than it seems And of course… there’s a wildly prestigious reward. Complete all 7 days and you earn a place on our completely over-dramatic yet highly celebrated: 🏆 𝟳 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 🏆 Immortality. Glory. Mild bragging rights. If you’ve ever thought: “I have no idea what to ask AI.” “Everyone else seems ahead of me.” “I want to learn without feeling like I’m studying.” You’ll love this. Jump in and join the fun 😊 Who is ready to have some simple AI fun?

One of the most rewarding parts of providing support and training for people is seeing how people use what they’ve learned in real life, so I’m going to start sharing a weekly testimonial - some will be for coaching and some will be when I have got my geek on! 🤓 Today’s testimonial is from a lovely member in our community @Antonio Totino. Antonio has been on skool for approx 6 Months and joined this community to learn how to integrate AI and boost his skills with Office. 🤖 If you’ve had a win, big or small, and you’re happy for me to share your feedback, feel free to message me. I read every single one, honestly they mean a lot to me and I hope it gives others the courage to take the first step into their learning journey 🥰

I asked the community what content you would like and am now working to meet your requests. To that end I have created a new tutorial video for the community. This week’s course is called 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹. This course shows how to make Excel look more like a polished document, app or tool. Watch a screen-share walkthrough with subtitles as layout, colour, navigation and design tips are applied step by step. A downloadable PDF summarises 15 practical tips with clear instructions so you can recreate the look in your own files.
