From fear to confidence: Helping teams overcome the “I’m not good with tech” barrier.

The barrier: Fear of Technology

Here’s the truth: The biggest reason many employees resist AI isn’t because they doubt the tool it’s because they doubt themselves.

They think:

• “I’ll break it if I try.”

• “This is for tech people, not for me.”

• “I’ll look stupid if I use it wrong.”

This lack of confidence is called low self-efficacy the belief that “I’m not capable enough to use new tools.”

Why say "I’m Not Good With Tech"

Think back to your first time using Google, or when you set up your first Facebook account.At first it felt awkward. You didn’t know the buttons, you worried you’d mess something up.

But once you tried it, it became second nature and now you can’t imagine life without it.

AI adoption works the same way. The fear is temporary, but without support, people stay stuck.

How DMAC builds confidence step by step

At DMAC, we design adoption around building user confidence, not overwhelming them.

1. We keep it simple at first. Start with easy wins like copying AI output into an email or spreadsheet.

2. We guide, don’t dump. Every new client gets one-on-one training, short videos, and a resource library.

3. We celebrate progress. Each time someone uses the tool successfully, confidence grows.

   
   

Just like learning Google or Facebook, the “scary” quickly becomes “normal.”

The Human-First AI Mindset

AI is not about replacing people it’s about empowering them.

When staff realise that:

• AI takes the pressure off,

• They can proofread and guide it easily,

• And they’re still the decision-makers,

…the fear disappears, and adoption takes root.

That’s the Human-First AI way.

Closing Call-to-Action

If your team hesitates because they say “I’m Not Good With Tech” the solution isn’t avoiding AI it’s giving them the right support.
