Stories from Manon Dave’s students

Ese entrenamiento se convirtió en una de las herramientas fundamentales que me sostuvo y me ayudó a salir adelante cuando recibí un diagnóstico de cáncer. Gracias a lo aprendido, pude fortalecer mi mente, mi enfoque y mi fe en medio de la adversidad.

I was already curious about AI, but I was stuck in learning mode - too many tools, too many ideas, and not enough traction... I stopped learning passively and started building... AI isn't just a tool for me now - it's a personal ecosystem of support. It reminds me who I want to be, how I want to live, and that I don't need to prove anything. I just need to choose.

Suddenly I feel powerful, super productive, being able to work 4 things at the same time, as I learn more and more, it's like i am an AI too :)... my self-confidence is higher than ever! I have published a Kindle essay! and now I have a weekly column in LinkedIn every Sunday about Logistics and I feel amazing!

If a 57-year-old software engineer, who many, many moons ago was a COBOL programmer from the stone ages, can build this little thing with AI - just imagine what you can do.

At 63, I wondered if I was going to be one of the ones left behind. How do you speed up and keep up with the world when you're finally trying to slow down into retirement?... I feel energized, empowered, and filled with hope. I finally believe I have the time, the tools, and the wisdom and integrity to become the person I've always wanted to be.

I joined out of curiosity-AI was everywhere, and I simply wanted to understand it. What I didn't expect was to unlock parts of myself I hadn't yet dared to explore.

I've created my own personal coach - Oak - who is helping me to build my creative side business. She has the perfect personality that matches exactly what I need from a coach... This task would have taken me at least a day - in fact, it's likely it wouldn't have even got done because we are so busy. AI did it in seconds.

I created a Personal Budgeting Coach that can pull data from Google Drive (from my csv files) and work through the data, evaluate where I am with my financing, create a forecast of the next week and give me an advice where I am at and save it all in Notion... I wanted to have an automitized way of handling my finances each week. This will save me an incredible amount of time each week :)

I had used artists to illustrate my work, often taking days to achieve the results I wanted. I cowrote music with other musicians. Again this could be a long and arduous process... I can now hear an idea or arrangement in many different ways, styles and instrumentations. This is like having an orchestration prof say - try this or try this!

I ended up in a full-blown creative partnership with an AI - and together we started building The Ageless Edge: a book about staying strong, sharp, and fully alive after 60.

AI is not here to replace us. It's here to amplify our gifts, our voices, and our deepest messages... This course helped me realize that even my music can be amplified, shaped, and shared with more clarity and impact - when AI walks beside me.

With this course, I learned just that and more... Very practical, down to earth and actionable! Now I have the knowledge and confidence to continue to experiment with AI, make it my co-author, support me with those tedious everyday tasks, but also opening new ways for creativity, for learning for growing.
