AI Training Workshop for Everyday Professionals and Small Businesses
A short overview of our AI training workshop for professionals and small businesses in Lancashire.
Attend One or Build the Full Foundation
This series is delivered across four practical evening sessions.
Each session works independently and includes structured teaching, live demonstrations, and guided hands-on implementation.
If you attend all four, you’ll build a stronger foundation and leave confident using AI in real work situations.
If you attend one, you’ll still leave with something practical you can use immediately.
What the workshop series includes
The series is delivered through four calm, in-person evening workshops (5pm–9pm), designed to fit around real work and real lives.
Each session focuses on building confidence first, then practical application — with guided implementation time included in the room.
You can attend any session individually, or complete all four for a stronger foundation.
Session 1 — Getting Comfortable with AI
You’ll learn what AI can and can’t do, how it helps in everyday situations, and why asking better questions matters more than tools.
We start with relatable, non-work examples to remove pressure, then move into guided hands-on practice during the session.
You’ll leave having used AI yourself — calmly and practically.
Session 2 — Applying AI to Real Work Problems
You’ll apply AI to real work tasks you already deal with — planning, writing, reviewing, and decision-making.
You’ll learn which types of problems AI is genuinely helpful for, and use a simple, reusable thinking-partner structure with your own work challenges.
Includes guided time to apply this to your real work inside the session.
Session 3 — From Questions to Simple AI Workflows
You’ll move from one-off questions to simple, repeatable ways of working.
We’ll break work into clear steps (think → create → review) and design a lightweight AI-supported workflow that fits how you already work.
You’ll leave with a simple structure you can reuse immediately.
Session 4 — Building Your Own AI Toolkit & Next Steps
This session focuses on creating prompts, habits, and confidence you can keep.
You’ll build your own reusable prompts, develop a small personal AI toolkit, and leave with a clear, realistic plan for continuing beyond the workshops.
The focus is independence — not complexity.
What this looks like in practice
Four focused, in-person evening sessions
Guided hands-on implementation during each workshop
No technical background required
No preparation needed before attending
Practical use, not theory
You stay in control throughout
Certificate of Completion
Participants who complete all four sessions will receive a Practical AI in Everyday Work Certificate of Completion.
This recognises structured attendance and practical engagement across the full series.
Many participants choose to complete all four sessions to build confidence fully and leave with a stronger foundation.
Is This Workshop Series Right For You?
This series is designed for you if:
• You feel behind, unsure, or cautious about AI — and don’t want to guess or experiment blindly
• You want practical help applying AI to real work tasks (planning, writing, reviewing) — not theory
• You prefer calm, human-led learning over hype, automation, or technical deep dives
This series is not designed for developers, technical specialists, or people looking to build advanced AI systems or complex automations.
In-person sessions. Practical exercises. No technical background required.
If AI Feels Confusing or Overwhelming, You’re Not Alone
Many professionals and small business owners know AI is important — but still feel:
• Behind or unsure where to start
• Intimidated by the pace of change
• Unsure which tools actually matter
• Concerned about making mistakes or relying on AI too much
These sessions are designed specifically for people in that position.
We slow things down, remove jargon, and focus on confidence, judgement, and practical use — so AI supports your work, not the other way around.
What This Workshop Series Helps You Do
By the end of a session, you’ll leave with something practical you can use immediately.
If you complete all four, you’ll build a stronger foundation and greater confidence applying AI in everyday work.
You’ll be able to:
• Understand what AI is genuinely useful for — and where it shouldn’t be used
• Feel calm and confident opening AI tools instead of avoiding them
• Ask clearer questions and get more reliable, useful responses
• Apply AI to real tasks you already deal with (planning, writing, reviewing)
• Build simple habits you can continue using long after the sessions end
You stay in control at all times.
AI supports your thinking — it doesn’t replace your judgement.

What Participants Said After The Early Sessions
These were small, in-person pilot sessions with people who started out unsure or cautious about AI.
“I came into this feeling unsure and a bit intimidated by AI. The sessions made it feel calm, practical, and genuinely useful. I’m now using it regularly at work.”
Bob Stalker - Design Engineer
“Mike created a really calm, supportive environment. Nothing felt rushed or technical, and questions were encouraged. It made a big difference to how comfortable I felt trying things out.”
Owen Richards - Leader & Solo Entrepreneur
“What I liked most was that everything related back to real situations. Things I deal with in life and at work. It wasn’t theoretical — I could apply it straight away.”
Matthew Carr - Account Manager
This course is deliberately focused, so it’s helpful to be clear who it’s designed for.
Who This Workshop Series Is For
This series is a good fit if you are:
• A small business owner
• A manager or team leader
• A hands-on professional
• New to AI or unsure where to start
If you feel behind, unsure where to begin, or cautious but curious about AI, you’re in the right place.
This Workshop Series May Not Be Right For
This series may not be the best fit if you are:
• A developer or technical specialist
• Looking to build advanced AI systems or automate everything
• Wanting deep technical prompt engineering or coding
• Already using AI confidently every day and looking for advanced techniques
More advanced sessions may come later.
These workshops are intentionally focused on confidence, judgement, and practical everyday use.

Your Instructor — And Why This Course Is Different
I’m Mike Wood.
I’m not a technologist, and I’m not a tool salesman.
I’ve spent over a decade in senior operational roles, where clarity, judgement, and practical decision-making mattered more than tools.
I deliberately stepped away from those roles to focus on something I care about: helping people understand how AI can be used calmly, sensibly, and responsibly in everyday work — without pressure, hype, or jargon.
I’ve been through the confusion myself.
I’ve felt unsure where to start, overwhelmed by noise, and sceptical of bold claims about automation and productivity.
That’s why these workshops are designed the way they are.
Not to impress.
Not to sell tools.
But to help you think more clearly, work more confidently, and decide when AI helps — and when it doesn’t.
My role isn’t to give you all the answers.
It’s to create a calm, supportive environment where you can explore, ask questions, and build confidence using AI on your own terms.
