Many businesses feel pressure to adopt AI before their people feel ready to use it. This webinar closes the gap between curiosity and action by giving founders and small teams a safe, practical and manageable first step.
What you’ll learn
- Understand, in plain english, what generative AI can and cannot do and recognise common confidence barriers.
- Identify one useful, low-risk starting point and follow a simple framework for trying it in a real business setting.
- Apply safe-use boundaries, check AI-generated results and build a seven-day plan for confident, responsible adoption.
Description
AI is becoming part of everyday business, but many founders and small teams still feel they are already behind, worry about getting it wrong, or assume they need technical knowledge to begin. This practical, webinar is designed to turn uncertainty into confident first steps. Kaye Nicholson, founder of GrowthZone AI, will demystify what generative AI can and cannot do, address common fears and show how to recognise a useful, low-risk starting point without chasing every new tool. Attendees will see how to approach AI as a working partner while keeping human judgement firmly in control. Attendees will leave with a practical seven-day confidence plan and one realistic action they can apply in their own business.
