What L&D Pros Say



Meet Ross

I'm Ross, the founder of Steal These Thoughts and a learning technologist with 20 years in the game.I've worked with 35+ organisations, from Fortune 500s to fast-moving scale-ups, helping their L&D teams build real AI fluency.I don't do generic AI training.I focus entirely on L&D teams because you're not just learning AI, you're teaching it to everyone else. That's a different job, and it needs a different approach.




AI Enablement for L&D:
Frequently Asked Questions

AI enablement for L&D is the process of equipping learning and development professionals with the knowledge, skills, and frameworks to use AI effectively in their work and to lead AI adoption across their organisation. It goes beyond generic AI training by focusing on the specific challenges L&D teams face: understanding AI tools, applying them to learning design and delivery, and building the confidence to teach AI skills to others.

L&D teams are increasingly being asked to lead AI adoption company-wide. But you can't teach what you don't understand. AI fluency gives L&D professionals the ability to evaluate AI tools critically, use them in their daily work, and design meaningful AI learning experiences for the wider business. With the EU AI Act now requiring AI literacy across organisations, this is shifting from a nice-to-have to a compliance requirement.

The AI Fluent L&D Professional is a 3-hour live cohort session. It's designed to be dense and practical - no filler. You'll work hands-on with AI tools during the session and leave with a framework you can apply immediately. For self-paced learning, the AI For L&D Crash Course can be completed in your own time.

Most AI training is built for a general audience. It teaches prompting tricks and tool demos without considering your context. This is built specifically for L&D professionals. The content, examples, and framework are all designed around how learning teams actually work. You won't just learn how to use AI, you'll learn how to think about AI as an L&D professional and how to bring that thinking to your organisation.

You'll work with leading large language models including ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini, as well as AI agents and app builders. The focus isn't on any single tool, it's on building the fluency to evaluate and use whatever tools are relevant to your role, even as the landscape changes.

No. This is built for L&D professionals, not engineers. Whether you're completely new to AI or already experimenting with tools, the session meets you where you are. The framework is designed to build confidence progressively from understanding how AI works to applying it in practice.

This is built into the session. You'll leave with practical approaches for introducing AI fluency to the people you support, not just your own skills, but a strategy for enabling others.
