Natural Velocity - AI Learning Centre Training Programs
The future of education isn’t a place. It’s an ecosystem. If we think the future of learning is just classrooms with smarter tablets or better online lectures, we’re already behind. What’s coming isn’t a tool upgrade. It’s a ecosystem shift. For the first time in history, intelligence is no longer scarce. Learning no longer has to move at the speed of the classroom, it can move at the speed of the individual. Because in a world where intelligence is everywhere, the advantage goes to those who know what to build, why it matters, and how to keep learning. The future belongs to AI-enabled creators, not passive consumers.

AI Leadership Literacy
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future initiative. It is already influencing organisational strategy, productivity, risk exposure, trust, reputation, and accountability. While most leaders recognise AI’s importance, many lack confidence in how to lead AI decisions responsibly, particularly when those decisions carry board-level, fiduciary, regulatory, and human consequences. AI Leadership Literacy is a leadership education program designed to equip executives and directors with the judgement, confidence, and shared language required to oversee AI-related decisions effectively. This is not a technical course, it is leadership education for the AI era. More information can be found here: https://bit.ly/privateaiedu

Trainers
John McGiffin is an AI Ecosystem Architect, AI strategist, keynote speaker, and education specialist who helps leaders and organisations make sense of artificial intelligence and apply it responsibly, confidently, and with purpose. With more than 35 years of corporate leadership experience and over 12 years working hands-on with AI, John brings a rare combination of strategic insight and real-world practicality. His work sits at the intersection of leadership, technology, and organisational change, helping executives, boards, and teams move from uncertainty to clarity in an AI-driven world. This includes training on Meta Skills to amplify human values in this new world of Artificial Intelligence. John is the CEO of Natural Velocity, an ecosystem company focused on strengthening the AI supply chain and building leadership capability for responsible AI adoption. Through Natural Velocity’s AI Innovation Centre, AI Learning Centre, and AI Experience Centre, John delivers hands-on programs and immersive experiences that translate AI from abstract concept into real-world impact across industry, government, and education. Known for making complex ideas human, relatable, and actionable, John’s keynotes cut through hype and fear to focus on what truly matters: leadership judgement, trust, and decision-making in the age of AI. His sessions are practical, engaging, and grounded in lived experience . John regularly speaks on topics including: • Leadership and decision-making in the age of AI • Being human in a world shaped by artificial intelligence • Ethical and responsible AI as a business advantage • Turning AI uncertainty into opportunity Whether addressing a boardroom, conference audience, or leadership team, John is valued for his ability to connect emerging technology to real leadership challenges, and to leave audiences with clarity, confidence, and a clear path forward.
AI by PSG (Problem Solved Group) helps teams and individuals make AI actually work at work with practical steps, real examples, and safe guardrails that protect privacy and brand voice. Ria (AI consultant + marketing director) and Lukas (computer science engineer + AI consultant ) co-deliver training that skips hype and focuses on everyday business tasks: writing, research, reporting, content, customer support, and simple automations. They’re a “dream team” to learn from because you get both sides of the brain in one room: Ria anchors everything in real business outcomes (what to do, why it matters, how to adopt it without chaos), while Lukas makes sure the tools and workflows actually work in the real world (how to set it up, troubleshoot it, and scale it). The result is training that’s human-friendly, technically solid, and immediately usable so people leave with confidence and working systems, not theory.

Being Human in an World
Andrea Jones · RDM Marketing
14 Nov, 2025 • In person
RDM Marketing Consultants had the privilege of hosting John McGiffin as our opening keynote at AI-Con South West 2025. John set the tone for the entire day with a presentation that was professional, engaging and grounded. His talk The Human Story of an AI World explored how AI is reshaping work, creativity and decision-making while reminding us why human strengths and values matter more than ever. He highlighted the power of using AI intentionally and ethically while inspiring our kids the future leaders to think critically and explore AI and robotics. He also reminded us to look for the boring repetitive tasks people dislike and create AI agents to handle them. Some jobs will be replaced so we need to upskill and stay ahead of the game but many more jobs will be created. It was a positive look at how humans and AI can work together. He engaged with the audience and made them reflect on the key AI topics he raised. Feedback from the audience was that his talk was one of the highlights of the day. John is someone you naturally look up to. He is knowledgeable, genuine and generous with his time. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a credible and inspiring AI speaker.
