01Build your AI workforce
Who it’s for
For founders, team leads and busy professionals who have tried AI and want to put it to work on repeatable tasks.
Practical workshopWhat you’ll take away
Choose a first task to delegate, write a reusable brief and make a plan for checking the result.
We start with a real piece of work: research, preparation, follow-ups or recurring admin. Then we practise turning it into clear instructions and deciding what a person still needs to check.
Enquire about this session02AI for everyday life
Who it’s for
For people carrying a lot of life admin, including working parents, carers and anyone wondering where to begin.
Talk or workshopWhat you’ll take away
A small, practical experiment to try in your own week, with clear boundaries around personal information and decisions.
We use familiar examples to practise briefing an assistant, organising scattered information and spotting gaps. You can begin with fictional examples; no technical background is needed.
Enquire about this session03What do we keep human?
Who it’s for
For leadership teams, professional communities and event audiences thinking about how AI changes work.
Talk or conversationWhat you’ll take away
Questions your team can use to discuss its own choices about AI.
A conversation about judgement, creativity and responsibility. We explore what is useful to hand over, what needs our attention and what we want to make space for.
Enquire about this session04Pitching & investor Q&A
Who it’s for
For early-stage founders preparing to raise, accelerator cohorts and founder communities working on their investor conversations.
Founder workshopWhat you’ll take away
A clearer approach to investor preparation and practical ways to rehearse and reframe difficult questions.
We explore research, pitch preparation and challenging investor questions, drawing on my experience of founding and fundraising. AI can support preparation; evidence and relationships still need your judgement.
