AI Without the Overwhelm

Practical Workflows and Guidance for the One-Person Business

Getting AI to rewrite an email is handy. Getting it to take hours of work off your plate each week? Yes, please! If you’ve been wondering how to get more help from AI without turning it into another thing you have to figure out, this workshop is for you.

You’ll find practical uses for AI in the work you already do, with guidance on getting better results and knowing where to be careful.

Free 90-minute workshop: 60 minutes of teaching and practice, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A

By the end of this workshop you’ll leave with…

Ideas for taking time-consuming tasks off your plate so you have more room for clients and running your business

Ways to use AI to explore options and spot opportunities you might otherwise miss

More confidence getting useful responses without spending hours figuring out what to ask

A better sense of which AI tools deserve your time and where to draw the line

Workshop Overview

I’m a business coach who loves anything that streamlines and strengthens a business. Right now AI is one of the biggest tools for that.

I’ll share how I help my clients use AI to save hours each week and uncover insights they would have struggled to find on their own. 

We will walk through practical examples in three different areas of your business. You’ll then use a short AI Opportunity Audit to identify and compare possibilities in your own business.

We’ll discuss boundaries around privacy, human review, client interactions, and the work I will not hand over to AI.

Your registration answers will help shape the live demonstrations. There will also be time to try something yourself, so bring a recurring task you’d like help with!

What You Will Learn

How to spot a worthwhile AI opportunity

Identify recurring tasks where AI could save time, reduce repetitive work, or help you follow through more consistently. Use a short AI Opportunity Audit to compare potential benefits, effort, and how likely you are to use the new process.

What useful AI workflows look like in practice

Watch live demonstrations shaped by registrants’ interests. See how everyday business tasks can become easier to manage with AI’s help.

How to talk to AI without overthinking your prompts

Learn how to explain what you need and get better responses without worrying about finding the perfect words or following a complicated formula.

How to apply what you’ve learned to your own work

Try a task during the session and choose one practical use to continue testing that week.

How to choose a main platform and use others when they fit

A practical approach to choosing one tool as your home base and deciding when and where others make the most sense.

How to use AI with sensible boundaries

Consider privacy, client confidentiality, and the human judgment needed throughout the process.

  • Independent consultants, coaches, and advisors

A Word Of Caution

I take concerns about AI’s broader risks and its future impact seriously. You may have some of those concerns yourself.

My focus here is on helping you make informed choices about using AI in your business. That includes deciding where you’re comfortable using it and what you will never hand over to it.

The examples will reflect my experience as a business owner and coach; your business may have additional confidentiality or professional requirements to consider.
