Ready to shatter the myth that you're "too late" to learn AI? Your brain has been quietly preparing for this moment your entire career.
Having medical education and as an executive coach, I've watched countless leaders shrink from AI because they believe they're behind. But neuroscience tells a completely different story. Your prefrontal cortex has been designed over millions of years to integrate new tools. That same neuroplasticity that helped you learn to drive, navigate smartphones, and master spreadsheets is still active and ready to embrace AI – age doesn't diminish this ability, it enhances it.
What most tech experts miss is that experienced professionals have a neurological advantage when learning AI. Your years of solving complex problems give your brain pattern recognition abilities that create instant connections between AI capabilities and real-world challenges. This isn't theory – I've watched clients transform from tech-anxious to AI-empowered within weeks by leveraging their experience, not despite it.
The human-centered approach to AI integration recognizes that your uniquely human qualities – intuition, emotional intelligence, relationship building – aren't obstacles but your competitive edge. AI handles analytical tasks brilliantly, freeing your brain to focus on what machines cannot replicate: reading a room, understanding context, and making meaning of complexity. When AI handles routine work, your brain literally releases dopamine, energizing you for higher-level thinking.
Start small, think big.

You're not behind, you're nottoo late and you are definitely
(00:59):
not too old, too overwhelmed ortoo non-tech to lead in the age
of AI.
In this season, season two, weare going from pain to power why
most people are teaching AI orwrong, and I have seen it over
and over.
And, of course, I can't staysilent.
I have to comment how to soundsmart in AI meetings, even if
(01:30):
you're still learning, theneuroscience of trust in AI led
workplace, and how to use AI tobuy back your time and finally
build the life you actually want.
If you have ever felt likeeveryone else gets it but you,

(01:51):
still space for you in this newera.
This podcast is your space.
Subscribe now.
Season two starts with afive-part series called Pain to
Power, and I promise it willchange how you see AI and
yourself.
Is it too late to learn AI?
(02:13):
The truth, no one tells you, isgoing to be shared here, so
welcome to this first episode ofAI Cafe Conversations of Season
2.
As I said before, this is Sahar, your host, your AI whisperer.
If you are over 40, leading ateam, reinventing a business, or
just AI curious and a littleoverwhelmed, you are in the
(02:36):
right place.
Today's question is it too latefor me to learn AI?
And I hear that all the timefrom my clients.
The short answer is no.
The long answer let's dive in,let's go.
Have you ever started at chatGPT, for example?
You know there are manyplatforms right or something
(02:58):
like it.
You know and you feel like it'ssilently judging you.
If the phrase prompt engineeringmakes your chest tighten, if
everyone else seems fluent andyou're still figuring out what
button to press, guess what?
You're not alone.
(03:19):
This fear.
It's not a tech problem.
It's a shame story that wecarry.
We have been made to believethat we are not coding, and if
we are not coding, we are behind.
That.
Ai is for them the engineers,the startups, the tech elite.
(03:40):
The AI revolution isn't about atech genius.
It's about enhancing youruniquely human abilities.
Today, I will show you why yourbrain is perfectly equipped to
embrace AI, no matter yourtechnical background, and it's
(04:01):
not only for coders or techies.
I am not a techie and this is atech jargon-free podcast.
Ai is for the curious, for thecreative, for the compassionate
leader who wants to be morepresent, more strategic and more
visible without burning out,running out.
You're not behind, you're nottoo late, and I'm going to keep
(04:24):
saying that you have just beenleft out of the right
conversation until now.
So let me share with you myfirst freak out personal
experience.
Let me take you back.
One day I logged into ChatGPT.
I asked a question.
It spit something out rightaway, I thought.
(04:44):
At GPT, I asked the question.
It spit something out rightaway.
I thought, hmm, this is reallyimpressive.
Then I thought, okay, now Ihave no idea what to do with
this.
Here I am the coach, thebusiness advisor, the executive
advisor, as well a leader, andstill I felt dumb.
(05:04):
But then I remembered somethingyou don't have to know
everything.
You just need to be willing toexplore.
So I did what I always ask myclients to do.
I will never preach somethingthat I don't.
I played with it.
(05:24):
I typed imperfect questions andI love my perfect imperfections
, by the way.
I got real answers.
I laughed.
I get curious and slowly AIbecame less of a mystery and
more of a partner, and mypartner at ChatGPT is called
Bella.
Today I use AI daily, not toreplace me, but to explain to me
(05:52):
things that I never thoughtabout before and to expand me.
I don't work for it, it worksfor me and with me.
I called the differentplatforms my board members, and
that shift changed everything.
So let me share first with youthe neuroscience behind this.
So you don't think I'm talkingkumbaya, the too late myth that
(06:19):
we have, or most coaches have.
It is what neuroscience tellsus.
Your brain is literallyrewiring itself right now as you
listen to this.
Even 28 days, you have acompletely new brain in terms of
neural connections.
The idea that you are too lateto learn AI your brain will
actually disagree with that.
(06:39):
So the first point I'm going toshare is that our brains are
tool, integrations, machines.
What does that mean.
The science behind that is thatour prefrontal cortex, which is
like, without jargon, the parthere the problem-solving area
has been designed over millionsof years to integrate new tools.
(07:00):
For learning to use smartphoneto mastering Excel, your brain
creates neural pathways for tooladoption.
The reality is this you havealready integrated more complex
technology than AI.
Think about that.
You have learned to drive a car, navigate a GPS.
(07:21):
I remember the first time Itried to get GPS.
I was so frustrated.
We have learned to use socialmedia algorithms and use them.
For us, ai is just another toolyour brain is built to master.
The key message here is thatthe same neuroplasticity that
helped you adapt to everyprevious technological shift is
(07:44):
still active.
Age doesn't turn this off.
It makes you even better.
Like wine, right Experienceactually makes it stronger.
The second point I want to sharehere is what we call the
neurological advantage oflearning later.
So the science of that is ouradult brains have something
(08:04):
children don't Executivefunction and pattern recognition
from years of experience.
When you learn AI as anexperienced professional, you
are not starting from scratch orfrom zero.
Your brain immediately connectsAI capabilities to real-world
problems you have already solved.
You have the experience and ithelps you.
(08:27):
That's not being late, that'sbeing strategic.
For example, a 45-year-old HRdirector doesn't need to
understand machine learningalgorithms.
She needs to recognize how AIcan solve the retention problem
she has been working on for fiveyears.
Her experienced brain makesthose connections instantly.
(08:51):
The third point I want to makehere is the fresh perspective
advantage.
What does that mean?
Okay, let's call it thecounterintuitive truth.
Non-technical people oftenimplement AI more successfully
than tech experts.
Why?
Because tech people get caughtup in the how.
(09:12):
Business leaders focus on thewhy.
Guess which approach createsmore value?
Your brain's default modenetwork, the part that makes
creative connections work betterwhen you are not bogged down in
technical details, because ithas space.
It has free space to think.
(09:33):
You are in the problem-solvingmode rather than stress mode.
The number four point I want tomake is the client success story
framework.
How do we do it?
So, for example, I worked witha CEO who told me everyone else
started using AI two years ago.
(09:54):
I'm too far behind.
Within 30 days, she was usingAI to have a revolution in her
leadership communication.
Not because she learned to code, but because she learned to
think strategically about AIintegration.
The lesson she wasn't behind.
(10:15):
She was positioned perfectly.
Her years of leadershipexperience gave her context that
younger, more tech-savvyemployees didn't have.
I come from a human-centeredapproach to everything,
including my AI approach.
Here is what every tech expertgets wrong about AI they think
(10:36):
it's about the technology.
It's not.
It's about amplifying whatmakes you uniquely human your
emotions, your intuition, yourrelationships.
These are not obstacles to AIintegration.
They are your competitiveadvantage.
Your framework for authentic AIintegration is that your brain
(10:59):
has two systems in a very simpleway.
System one is fast, intuitivelike it works, like that and
system two is the slow,analytical part.
Some people want to say rightand left brains.
I don't really believe in that.
But let's put it system one andsystem two.
Ai handles system two tasksbrilliantly, but system one that
(11:22):
is the fast and intuitivethat's purely human.
Ai cannot touch that, andthat's where your value is and
that's why you're always aheadof AI, no matter what, at least
till now.
I'm not going to lie.
I don't know.
We don't know what the futureholds.
So start with your human intentBefore touching any AI tool.
(11:45):
Ask yourself what human outcomeam I trying to create?
Always preserve your voice,always be authentic.
Ai should sound like you onyour best day, not like a robot
having a good day.
So don't take everything copyand paste.
You have to add your touch.
And again, it's all in theprompting.
(12:05):
Remember what I always saygarbage in, garbage out.
Maintain connection, meaningthat every AI generated email,
presentation or strategy shoulddeepen human relationships, not
replace them.
So when you use AI to draft,for example, performance reviews
(12:26):
, you're not being lazy.
You're freeing your brain tofocus on the conversation that
follows the part that actuallychanges someone's career path.
So AI works as a complement toyour intelligence.
That's the brain science of it.
(12:46):
Your brain and AI don't compete.
They collaborate.
Here is how.
There is something in the brainthat's called pattern
recognition.
Ai spots patterns in data.
It doesn't read your words, itfollows patterns.
So your brain spots patterns indata.
It doesn't read your words.
It follows patterns, so yourbrain spots patterns in people.
Combined AI and brain humanbrain spotting patterns is
(13:13):
unstoppable.
The dopamine, the dopamineconnection, which is the
dopamine, is our happy hormoneor happy chemical in the brain
when we celebrate something orwhen we win something, so it
makes us like euphoric and happy.
When AI handles routine tasks,your brain releases dopamine.
It's a motivation chemical orhormone.
(13:34):
You literally feel moreenergized to do higher level
thinking.
That's not laziness, that'soptimization.
Your memory and context have arole here.
Why?
Because AI has perfect recallbut no emotional memory.
You have contextualunderstanding A client's tone of
(13:55):
voice, the tension in a roomwhen we read the room which we
always should the unspokendynamics.
Ai cannot read that, but youcan.
So you would ask me what arethe practical first steps to
build neural confidence so wecan use AI properly?
Start small, think big.
(14:16):
Your brain builds confidencethrough small wins because it
gives you more dopamine and yourbody likes that feeling.
So it wants to replicate thatand it gives you and it becomes
a cycle of nice things, ofdopamine, happiness, wins,
celebrate, wash and rinse.
Here is your roadmap.
(14:38):
Let's make this real.
If you have never used AI before, or even if you have, try this
Open chat, gpt or any otherplatform of your choice.
It could be Claude, it could bePerplexity, it could be Grok,
it could be LeapSeek, it couldbe Meta, it could be Gemini, it
(14:58):
could be Copilot, it could beyou, whatever you choose,
whatever is your drug of choice,like they say.
It could be you, whatever youchoose, whatever is your drug of
choice, like they say, typeFirst.
In any prompt you start with arole.
You have to give it a function,so you can start by saying you
are my content creator or youare my marketing consultant or
(15:24):
you are my online presenceexpert, and then you put what
you want.
Can you help me write a friendlyfollow-up email to a client who
ghosted me and hit enter, letit generate, read it, notice
what is good, notice what feelsoff.
That is not your voice, andthen try it again.
(15:45):
Ask it to rewrite it, observingthis and avoiding that.
Okay, tweak the tone, play withit.
You have just taken the firststep.
That's your win.
Own it Simple.
Just try, with this what I'mgoing to give you also to do
something simple, but maybesomething that you can think
(16:07):
about.
It's like a reflection, part ofthe podcast.
Ask yourself and write it,maybe in a journal, or pause to
reflect on that.
Where in your life are youholding back because you feel
late or safe?
What would shift if youreplaced I'm behind with I'm
(16:30):
building?
What could AI free up in yourlife if you stop resisting it?
You can start dividing yourweeks week by week, like birth
trust the first week, recognizeyour patterns.
(16:51):
The second one be creative onthe third week and the the new.
The payoff for all.
That is extreme and it willbuild your success.
It it will build your path.
It will make you basicallysuccessful.
You can do your KPIs, you cando everything and measure
(17:11):
yourself and measure yoursuccess through that.
The integration sweet spot hereis that the perfect AI
integration feels invisible.
For example, your team doesn'tthink Sarah is using AI.
They think Sarah's insights areincredibly sharp lately.
(17:32):
It's not about you are fraudingpeople or you are fooling
people.
You are helping people expandby using a tool.
Doctors use MRI to get betterdiagnosis for the disease or for
the diagnosis that they havefor their patients.
This is basically how you areusing AI.
(17:54):
It's a tool, it's not astrategy.
The green flags or the greenwins that you can celebrate is
that, if you're having deeperconversation because AI handled
the pre-work, that your ideasare sharper because AI gave you
better information, or your teamtrusts you more because you are
consistently well prepared.
(18:16):
This is all about closing thebridge to whatever you do.
This human-centered approach isnot theoretical.
It's the foundation ofeverything we do in our AI
integration programs, becausethe future doesn't belong to the
most technical leaders.
It belongs to the most humanones, who happen to use AI
(18:39):
brilliantly.
Ai is not going to replace yourjob.
People with AI skills willreplace your job.
It's not a competition betweenAI and us.
It's actually a collaborationthat can bring great results.
So I want really, really to walkwith you on this journey, not
(19:01):
as a techie, but as a human, acoach and a leader who
understands the fear and thepower of starting.
I have been there.

You will give me dopamine again, because next week we are
talking about what AI beginnersreally need to know no fluff, no
fear, just facts and freedom.
You're not too late.
You're right on time.
(19:45):
Your brain isn't too old, tooslow or too set in its way.
It's actually been preparingfor this moment your entire
career.
The question isn't whether youare too late.
It's whether you are ready togive yourself permission to
begin.
Your brain has been integratingnew tools for your entire life.
(20:12):
Ai is just the next one it'swaiting to master.

That's the brain science of it.
(12:46):
Your brain and AI don't compete.
They collaborate.
Here is how.
There is something in the brainthat's called pattern
recognition.
Ai spots patterns in data.
It doesn't read your words, itfollows patterns.
So your brain spots patterns indata.
It doesn't read your words.
It follows patterns, so yourbrain spots patterns in people.
Combined AI and brain humanbrain spotting patterns is
(13:13):
unstoppable.
The dopamine, the dopamineconnection, which is the
dopamine, is our happy hormoneor happy chemical in the brain
when we celebrate something orwhen we win something, so it
makes us like euphoric and happy.
When AI handles routine tasks,your brain releases dopamine.
It's a motivation chemical orhormone.
(13:34):
You literally feel moreenergized to do higher level
thinking.
That's not laziness, that'soptimization.
Your memory and context have arole here.
Why?
Because AI has perfect recallbut no emotional memory.
You have contextualunderstanding A client's tone of
(13:55):
voice, the tension in a roomwhen we read the room which we
always should the unspokendynamics.
Ai cannot read that, but youcan.
So you would ask me what arethe practical first steps to
build neural confidence so wecan use AI properly?
Start small, think big.
(14:16):
Your brain builds confidencethrough small wins because it
gives you more dopamine and yourbody likes that feeling.
So it wants to replicate thatand it gives you and it becomes
a cycle of nice things, ofdopamine, happiness, wins,
celebrate, wash and rinse.
Here is your roadmap.
(14:38):
Let's make this real.
If you have never used AI before, or even if you have, try this
Open chat, gpt or any otherplatform of your choice.
It could be Claude, it could bePerplexity, it could be Grok,
it could be LeapSeek, it couldbe Meta, it could be Gemini, it
(14:58):
could be Copilot, it could beyou, whatever you choose,
whatever is your drug of choice,like they say.
It could be you, whatever youchoose, whatever is your drug of
choice, like they say, typeFirst.
In any prompt you start with arole.
You have to give it a function,so you can start by saying you
are my content creator or youare my marketing consultant or
(15:24):
you are my online presenceexpert, and then you put what
you want.
Can you help me write a friendlyfollow-up email to a client who
ghosted me and hit enter, letit generate, read it, notice
what is good, notice what feelsoff.
That is not your voice, andthen try it again.
(15:45):
Ask it to rewrite it, observingthis and avoiding that.
Okay, tweak the tone, play withit.
You have just taken the firststep.
That's your win.
Own it Simple.
Just try, with this what I'mgoing to give you also to do
something simple, but maybesomething that you can think
(16:07):
about.
It's like a reflection, part ofthe podcast.
Ask yourself and write it,maybe in a journal, or pause to
reflect on that.
Where in your life are youholding back because you feel
late or safe?
What would shift if youreplaced I'm behind with I'm
(16:30):
building?
What could AI free up in yourlife if you stop resisting it?
You can start dividing yourweeks week by week, like birth
trust the first week, recognizeyour patterns.
(16:51):
The second one be creative onthe third week and the the new.
The payoff for all.
That is extreme and it willbuild your success.
It it will build your path.
It will make you basicallysuccessful.
You can do your KPIs, you cando everything and measure
(17:11):
yourself and measure yoursuccess through that.
The integration sweet spot hereis that the perfect AI
integration feels invisible.
For example, your team doesn'tthink Sarah is using AI.
They think Sarah's insights areincredibly sharp lately.
(17:32):
It's not about you are fraudingpeople or you are fooling
people.
You are helping people expandby using a tool.
Doctors use MRI to get betterdiagnosis for the disease or for
the diagnosis that they havefor their patients.
This is basically how you areusing AI.
(17:54):
It's a tool, it's not astrategy.
The green flags or the greenwins that you can celebrate is
that, if you're having deeperconversation because AI handled
the pre-work, that your ideasare sharper because AI gave you
better information, or your teamtrusts you more because you are
consistently well prepared.
(18:16):
This is all about closing thebridge to whatever you do.
This human-centered approach isnot theoretical.
It's the foundation ofeverything we do in our AI
integration programs, becausethe future doesn't belong to the
most technical leaders.
It belongs to the most humanones, who happen to use AI
(18:39):
brilliantly.
Ai is not going to replace yourjob.
People with AI skills willreplace your job.
It's not a competition betweenAI and us.
It's actually a collaborationthat can bring great results.
So I want really, really to walkwith you on this journey, not
(19:01):
as a techie, but as a human, acoach and a leader who
understands the fear and thepower of starting.
I have been there.

You will give me dopamine again, because next week we are
talking about what AI beginnersreally need to know no fluff, no
fear, just facts and freedom.
You're not too late.
You're right on time.
(19:45):
Your brain isn't too old, tooslow or too set in its way.
It's actually been preparingfor this moment your entire
career.
The question isn't whether youare too late.
It's whether you are ready togive yourself permission to
begin.
Your brain has been integratingnew tools for your entire life.
(20:12):
Ai is just the next one it'swaiting to master.
