Our special education event yesterday at Mornington Golf Club was fantastic! A Hands On AI Workshop by Learn Awesome.
Our very enthusiastic presenter, Steve Corney, showed us in real time what was possible, even for the most basic of us technologically enabled guests.
It was fast but entertaining and Steve generously provided plenty of opportunities and resources for us to follow through with.
Thanks also to Paul Zaltsburg from Community Bank Southern Peninsula for sponsoring this worthwhile event.

3 days to go and only a few spots left! ⭐👇
Book now for this PBN education workshop designed to help small business owners harness the power of AI. You’ll leave with new solutions you can put to work immediately inside your business.
Most AI sessions show you a polished demo of something that already worked. But this one is designed for action on the day – be ready with your laptops.

We’ll ask you about your business before the event and you'll arrive to a guide written specifically for you.

Then we'll work live and tackle real problems in front of everyone. No rehearsal. You'll see the false starts, what works and, importantly, what isn't worth doing. And we'll address what every small business deals with daily - getting leads, managing admin, doing the expert work you sell, and getting paid.
What you'll walk away with:
🌟 A practical AI guide written for your business
🌟 Four real-world AI builds done live
🌟 Time to work on your own business, with help on hand
🌟 Every prompt used on the day
🌟 A simple way to assess whether an AI idea is actually worth doing
🌟 The potential to save 5-10 hours every week
What would an extra 5-10 hours a week be worth to you?
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Community Bank - Rye, Rosebud and Dromana, most of the cost of this workshop which is $150+ per person - has been subsidised, making it exceptional value for our business community. $35 members/$45 non-members.
Places are limited to 40 people. Book your ticket now and come ready to build, experiment and put AI to work in your business. 💙💫
Steve Corney is a learning designer, TEDx speaker and founder of Learn Awesome. He is a published author and uses AI every day to solve problems in his own business and in other people's, from CSIRO and Downer to sole traders. Not an expert. A power user, which is the more useful thing to have in the room.
This event is selling fast, so if you want to learn how to adopt AI and save hours in your business each week, book your tickets soon. Morning tea is included in your ticket.
