Practical AI for Small Businesses
Generative AI tools are everywhere, but many business owners and professionals still struggle to apply them safely and effectively in daily operations.

Building AI Skills: The First Step to Creating Your Own AI Agents
Take a leap from understanding AI to creating reusable Skills in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini for recurring business tasks.
In this interactive workshop, participants will work toward creating a draft Skill tailored to one small, recurring business task using their own digital reference materials. A Skill acts as a reusable playbook, capturing instructions for how AI should handle a specific task. After a plain-language introduction to Skills and a live demonstration, attendees will build and refine a reusable Skill connected to their own work. A practical guide will support the hands-on portion. No coding or technical background is required.
Winning Government & Corporate Contracts: Finding RFPs and Writing Proposals That Win
Ever felt like bidding on major contracts is a game only the “big guys” can play? You aren’t alone. Most businesses skip out on thousands of recurring contract opportunities every year simply because the procurement process feels like an overwhelming, time-consuming headache. But here’s the secret: you don’t need to be a corporate giant to win.
This Business Growth Academy session is a highly practical, interactive workshop designed to pull back the curtain on how to secure stable, recession-proof revenue. We’ll show you how to easily find opportunities, partner with larger players, and build a repeatable system that does the heavy lifting for you.
