AI as an extension of your humanity.
Empowerment, discernment, sovereignty.
Depth First is an emerging training company for learning how to use AI with sovereignty: an extension of you and your human capacities.
AI is one of the most powerful tools for human empowerment ever created.
It can expand your thinking, deepen your creativity, become a real extension of how you work and learn.
Used without awareness, the same tool can quietly warp your thinking, hack your attachments, atrophy your creativity, and ultimately disempower you.
Which way it goes depends on your relationship to it. And the context you’re in as you use it.
The pace of change is part of why this matters now. Capabilities are moving faster than awareness.
For most people, including daily users, the gap is widening. Predictably, this kind of uncertainty creates anxiety, overwhelm, and avoidance. It’s human to feel these things — they’re all welcome here. AND the technology isn’t going anywhere. What’s up to us is how we relate to it — and the opportunity it’s presenting for us to actually step more into who we are.
Here’s what we’re creating, to empower humans to develop a sovereign relationship to AI.
Two ways in, both still being shaped. A live four-week course for individuals who want to build their own relationship to these tools. Workshops for teams who want to steward AI in their organisation with care.
A four-week course in using AI as an extension of your humanity.
For non-technical thinkers, makers, and people who’d rather build a real relationship to these tools than be carried along by them. Live, cohort-based.

Hi, I’m Nick.
I’m the founder of Depth First. Software engineer by training. Software trainer for the better part of a decade. Alongside that, a decade in coaching and deep relational work.
These two worlds that, for a long time felt separate, are now more clearly interconnected than ever. Staying connected to ourselves, being sovereign in our own hearts and minds, and trusting in our own judgement in the face of increasing uncertainty, are precisely the capacities that will be needed as we increasingly depend on these AI tools for knowledge work.
My coaching practice is about both discovery and creation. Discovering yourself and what’s really happening in you, so you can experience the freedom to create what you really want — both in your experience of being you (your being), and in your life circumstances. AI used well empowers all of this.
