Speaking & Training

Before Built for Her, I spent ten years in HR and training for a major UK retailer, then years running summits, events and workshops in my own mentoring business for counsellors and therapists. I bring the same thing to AI: practical, no-jargon training for people who don't want to pretend they already understand it — delivered to communities, membership organisations, teams and event audiences, not just individual businesses.

Who these sessions are for

These are the settings these sessions are designed for. If you run one of them, get in touch.

Funded programmes and enterprise agencies

Programmes that fund business support and invite their cohorts or communities to attend free.

Membership organisations and professional bodies

Bodies whose members need practical guidance on using AI without breaching confidentiality or professional standards.

Teams booking in-house

Teams that need to use these tools consistently, safely, and in the same way as each other.

Formats

Talk · 45–60 minutes

A conference slot, a network meeting or a lunch-and-learn. One clear idea the room can act on.

From £650

Half-day workshop · 3 hours

Hands-on, smaller group, real examples from their own businesses. People leave having built or decided something.

From £1,200

Full training day · 6 hours

A whole team or cohort. Foundations in the morning, applied work in the afternoon, written guidance to keep.

From £1,800

Community organisations, small member groups and anything that doesn't fit these three — ask me. I'd rather quote it than have you not ask.

Workshops

Delivered in person or online, as a single session or a short series, to teams, communities, membership organisations and event audiences.

Where AI Actually Fits

A plain-English map of what these tools genuinely do, what they don't, and which parts of a small business or membership community they belong in. No jargon, no assumed knowledge.

Using AI Without Crossing a Line

Consent, client data, disclosure and where the lines should sit, especially in caring and client-facing professions. Practical positions people can actually adopt, not compliance theatre.

Being Found When People Ask AI

How AI-driven search is changing the way clients find businesses like theirs, and what to do about it before their competitors do.

Knowing What to Leave Alone

Judgement rather than capability: where AI genuinely helps, and where it should stay well away from people, relationships and trust.

AI Foundations: Where to Begin

For anyone who has avoided AI because it feels like it isn't for them. Hands-on, low-pressure, and built for starting from zero.

Taming the Inbox

What to do when email has become the job. Triage, summarising, and getting the first hour of your day back.

Automating the First Reply

Enquiries arriving at ten at night, and what it costs to answer them on Monday. How to respond fast without losing the personal touch.

The part that matters

Judgement first, tools second

Most AI training teaches tools, and the tools will have changed by the time a team has finished practising them. What lasts is judgement — knowing which tasks are genuinely safe to hand over, what has to stay with a person, and what to tell your clients you're doing.

I spent fourteen years in clinical practice before this. It's why I teach the judgement first and the tools second, and why I'll tell a room when the honest answer is to leave something alone.

Planning an event or training day?

Tell me the audience, the format and roughly when, and I'll come back with a fee and an outline within two working days.
