Stories from Manon Dave’s students

Within four months, I had shortened my workweek by 1.5 days, surpassing my original goal of 1 day. This extra time allowed me to be more present with my father, especially now that he requires 24-hour care... I evolved from a Business Coach to a Chief AI Consultant, a role where I help companies grow by leveraging strategic AI applications.

What changed for me wasn't a single breakthrough moment - it was a progressive realization that AI, when truly mastered, doesn't just save time. It multiplies your professional capacity in ways that would have taken years to build otherwise... I now walk into every coaching session with deeper diagnostics, sharper analysis, and better-prepared materials than ever before. One of my clients - a seasoned entrepreneur restructuring her business for 2026 - told me our first session felt like she had an entire consulting team working on her case.

I started using AI for this purpose but I knew I was using it badly. I was spending a lot of time iterating with AI in a way that I thought was wasting my time and which was getting me quite discouraged and frustrated... Thanks to this program, I not only learned how to structure and use AI in a way that has now enabled me to develop and launch my first ever app in three days using a combination of Claude code and Claude co work, but also completely changed my mindset... now my mind has been blown wide open to the range of possibilities out there

Complex theories became practical solutions I could apply in real-time. From crafting prompts that unlock valuable insights to automating workflows and analyzing data with new precision, I'm now able to integrate AI into my projects in ways that seemed once unattainable... I'm already leveraging AI to build autonomous agents and personal assistants to contribute to my day to day work, creating content, optimizing processes, and uncovering new opportunities for my clients.

Over the past 4-5 months, I've gained invaluable tools, skills, and insights into the world of AI... The AI Mastery experience has been nothing short of life-changing, and the vibrant, supportive community made it even more impactful.

I shifted from understanding to implementation. Instead of simply writing prompts, I began designing workflows. Instead of casually experimenting, I started building structured solutions that I can directly apply in my advisory work and training programs... I am no longer only someone who interprets trends and delivers training - I am becoming an AI-augmented advisor and learning designer... It gave me the tools to stay ahead instead of catching up. And most importantly, it gave me the confidence to actively shape that future - in my work, in my programs, and in the development of the professionals I support.

I came into this program as a bit of a sceptic, not sure if a program like this would take me from someone with little to no experience in AI to having the confidence to write my own programs... My confidence grew to a point where I took on a personal project to build our own Project Management platform for our business to use with our clients. It is now fully functional, white labelled with our company brand and we are launching it to replace paid versions that our clients needed to pay subscriptions for.

I used AI daily but knew I this was only the beginning... I leant a lot about the possibilities of AI and automation and even brought me as a runner up in the awards in two categories... my life is so much better with AI and automations.

I feel like 20 years later, I'm up to date, I'm enjoying it mostly, and it's of great help for my clients.
