Live Online Workshop

AI Clarity Workshop

Two hours. Not hype. Not fear. Clarity. Understand what AI actually is, get hands-on with the tools professional teams are already using, and leave with a clear first step.

Built for people who've thought: "I don't know where to begin."

If that's you, you're exactly who this is for. The people struggling most with AI right now are the ones who jumped in without a foundation. This workshop builds the foundation first.

What you'll leave with

  • A clear understanding of what AI is (and isn't), no jargon, no mystique
  • Hands-on experience using Claude, plus live demos of ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, NotebookLM, and Google Gemini
  • A live demonstration of what's genuinely possible: automated workflows, your own podcast, video explainers, mind maps, even your own app and website
  • Knowing which AI tools to start with and why
  • A personal "first step" AI action plan: one thing to do this week
  • A PDF Starter Kit with tools, prompts, and next steps, sent after the session
  • A simple personal AI governance blueprint: what AI is for, what data stays out, and how to review its work

How the two hours run

10:00 – 10:25Welcome + AI literacy warm-up: find out where you're really starting from
10:25 – 10:50What AI actually is: the types of AI, and how its role has shifted from automation to augmentation to agency
10:50 – 11:30Live tool demos: watch AI automate repetitive work (emails, reports, scheduling), turn a document into a podcast, generate a video explainer and mind map, and build an app and website, live, using ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, Claude Cowork, NotebookLM, and Gemini
11:30 – 11:45Hands-on practice: you use Claude yourself, with guided prompts and live support
11:45 – 12:00Your AI action plan + how to govern your own AI use, then close

Who it's for

Everyone is welcome, though it's designed with professionals 40+ in mind, who feel left behind by AI and want to fix that properly. You don't need any technical background. You don't need to download anything. You bring curiosity; we bring the clarity.
