1:1 Mentoring — Personal Guidance as You Build AI Skills

Some people learn best in a room with a curriculum. Others learn best on their own real work, at their own pace, with someone alongside them. Mentoring is the personal, one-on-one path — the flexible alternative or complement to our foundation courses, built entirely around the work you care about.

For the business user who'd rather learn by doing

This is for the information worker — not IT staff, not a developer — who wants to get genuinely good with AI but would rather not sit through a fixed cohort schedule. You bring the work you're already trying to get done; we sit beside you and turn it into the lesson. No coding, no slideware, no abstract examples — just your real documents, your real workflows, and a guide who's done this many times before.

  • Right when a cohort doesn’t fit — our courses are built for groups of 8+; mentoring is the path for a smaller team or a solo learner.
  • Built for business professionals — no technical background required.
  • On your real work — the proposals, reports, and tasks already on your plate.
  • Paced to you — go faster where it clicks, slower where it counts.
  • One-on-one — every session is yours, focused on your goals.

The skills that stick are the ones you pull in

A central idea in The Value Shift is that you can't order people to be curious — but you can create the conditions where curiosity grows. The most reliable of those conditions is letting people learn on the work they actually care about. When a new skill solves a problem that's been nagging you all week, you keep using it. When it's pushed on you out of context, it slips away the moment the session ends.

Mentoring is the “pulled-in” path made deliberate. Because every session starts from what you want to improve, the skills you build are already attached to something that matters to you — which is exactly why they last.

Two ways to learn

Courses or mentoring — and often both

Our foundation courses and 1:1 mentoring share the same goal: making AI a daily habit, not a one-time demo. They just get you there differently.

Structured

Foundation courses

A private cohort with a set curriculum and a shared schedule. Everyone covers the same core ground together — a strong, efficient way to get a whole team to the same starting line. Delivered as Copilot Foundations and Claude Foundations.

Personal

1:1 Mentoring

Ongoing one-on-one sessions with no fixed curriculum — flexible, paced to you, and focused on the specific workflows you want to improve. Where a course sets the agenda, here you do, and your guide adapts to it.

Many people do both: a foundation course first to get oriented, then mentoring to go deeper on what their role actually does day to day.

What mentoring looks like

There's no fixed track to follow. We start where you are, work on what's in front of you, and build from session to session as your confidence grows.

  • Start with the workflows you most want to improve — we shape the sessions around them
  • Work hands-on, in real time, on your own documents and tools
  • Build the habits between sessions, then refine them together when we meet
  • Move at your pace — deeper where it pays off, lighter where you're already comfortable
Questions

About 1:1 mentoring

How is mentoring different from the foundation courses?
The courses are structured cohorts with a set curriculum and a shared schedule. Mentoring is one-on-one and flexible — paced to you, built around the specific workflows you want to improve, on your own real work. Many people take a foundation course first to get the lay of the land, then move to mentoring to go deeper on what matters to their role.
Do I need to take a course before mentoring?
No. Mentoring works as a complete path on its own, and it also works as a follow-on after Copilot Foundations or Claude Foundations. We'll help you decide which makes sense in a short discovery call.
Is this for IT staff or developers?
No — this is AI-skills mentoring for business users and information workers. No coding background is required. Every session works on your real, everyday work.
What does it cost, and how many sessions?
Mentoring is ongoing and tailored to you, so the right cadence depends on your goals and your pace. We agree on the format and scope up front in a short discovery conversation — no surprises.
