AI for Busy Professionals book cover

Over the past year, more and more people have been asking me the same thing: "Can you just explain AI simply?"

​

Not a full course. Not hours of content. Just something clear, practical, and actually useful.

 

So I wrote it.

As someone who has delivered AI training for the UK Government and the NHS, founded Smart Skills Academy, and was ranked in the top 3% of ChatGPT users worldwide in 2025, I wanted to create something that cuts straight to what matters — without the jargon, the overwhelm, or the wasted time.

​

This book is for busy professionals who want to understand Copilot and AI inside Microsoft 365 — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and Outlook — and start using it straight away. Not to become an AI expert. Just to stop feeling behind and start getting real time back in their day.

​

You can read it on the commute, between meetings, or in ten minutes whenever you have a gap. But what you take away is far more than a quick read — it's a clear, practical understanding of how AI fits into your work, and the confidence to use it.

  2. AI Explained Without the Tech Talk – what AI actually is, in plain English

  3. AI in Your Workday – how it fits into what you already do (not one more thing to learn)

  4. It’s Not What You Ask – It’s How You Ask It – how to get better results with simple prompt tweaks

  5. Five Tiny AI Wins You Can Try Today – quick, practical ways to see immediate value

  6. Using AI in Word – your writing and editing partner

  7. Using AI in Excel – support with data, formulas, and analysis

  8. Using AI in PowerPoint – creating clearer, more effective slides

  9. Using AI in Teams and Outlook – reducing inbox stress and improving communication

  10. AI Gets It Wrong (And How to Spot It) – how to sense-check and stay in control

  11. Making AI Part of Your Routine – using AI naturally without overthinking it

 

Each chapter is short, practical, and designed to help you understand how AI fits into your real working day - without overwhelm. 

Each chapter ends with a 'Try This Now' section and many have an accompanying QR code with a PDF quick reference guide.
