Learn to use AI the right way - ethically, safely, and with the lowest environmental impact

There are plenty of free AI courses right now - webinars, YouTube tutorials, government initiatives. Most are built for everyone, which means they're built for no one in particular. This one is built specifically for small business owners, by someone who uses AI every day in her own business and has three years of hard-won, real-world experience to share. Not textbook theory. Not a funded overview. Practical, honest guidance from someone who has done the work.

You've dipped your toe in. You're using AI for everyday tasks - drafting emails, summarising documents, doing research, creating content. It's saving you time and you can see the potential.

But you're still doing it one prompt at a time, starting from scratch each session, or carrying on in the same chat window and finding the answers getting worse or getting errors when it's too long, and you know there's more.

102 - Next steps takes you from occasional user to someone with reliable, repeatable AI go-to routines built into the way you work. Less experimenting, more doing. And always with the same commitment to using AI ethically, safely, and with the lowest environmental impact possible.

Small business realities

Sales, marketing, operations, admin, finance, customer service. AI won’t replace any of those roles. But it can make every single one of them faster, cheaper, less exhausting, and create new opportunities for your business.

After just two weeks, you could be:

Turning a sales methodology into a complete outreach process - emails, scripts, follow-ups - that brings new customer conversations in every week
Building your own branded proposal and report templates that AI fills out for you
Running competitor and market research in minutes rather than days
Creating marketing collateral - service overviews, website copy, social content - without a copywriter
Analysing your pricing and financials with AI as a thinking partner
Designing customer communications that actually convert
Building a simple AI tool specific to your business - a research assistant, a client briefing tool, a content generator
Doing in an afternoon what used to take a week

Why learn with Caroline

As a founder who has spent six years working alongside her own software development team building the S360 platform, Caroline was in early when generative AI became publicly available three years ago - not just using the off-the-shelf tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, but going under the hood - connecting directly to the APIs behind ChatGPT and Claude to build her own AI-powered tools from scratch. No coding required on her part - but a deep understanding of how these tools actually work.

She's done the hard work of figuring out which tools to trust and why - including walking away from some that didn't meet her standards on privacy, ethics, or environmental impact. She knows the pressure small business owners feel to adopt AI quickly and keep up. She's navigated all of it in a real business, with real clients, under real pressure - and in this course she shares that experience openly, including the trade-offs she has weighed and the choices she has made in her own business.

She doesn't just teach this - she uses it. Caroline used Claude to translate a sales methodology into a complete outreach funnel for her own business - scripts, emails, follow-up sequences, CRM, the whole process - and now has new customers booking conversations with her every week. That's the kind of real-world result this course is built around.

When you learn from someone who has genuinely done the work - not just studied it - you get something no free course or funded webinar can offer: honest, lived experience.

Is this the right course for you?

102 is designed for people who have already covered the basics - either through 101 - First steps or on their own. You're ready for this course if you:

Have used AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot at least a few times
Are comfortable typing a prompt and getting a useful response
Have used AI for at least one or two everyday tasks - emails, research, writing, summarising
Understand the basics of what to put in and what to keep out
Are ready to stop dabbling and start building something more systematic

If you're brand new to AI, start with 101 - First steps first.

What kind of AI are we talking about?

Same as 101 - generative AI tools you talk to in plain English. We'll mainly use Claude for demonstrations, but everything you learn transfers directly to any generative AI tool.

What you'll cover

Session 1: Your AI playbook - reusable prompts, custom instructions, setting AI up to know your business
Session 2: AI as your thinking partner - decisions, planning, briefing complex work, not just writing
Session 3: Building something - use AI to create a real tool, document, or workflow for your business
Session 4: Choosing your stack and what comes next - tool choice, environmental/privacy considerations, where AI is heading

What to expect

Two sessions per week over two weeks, each 45 minutes online. Maximum six participants - kept deliberately small so everyone gets real help, not just a seat in a webinar. Teaching is recorded; hands-on work never is.

What you'll walk away with

You won't just be using AI - you'll be using it well, consistently, and in a way that's right for your business and the world around it.

You'll leave with:

Two or three go-to AI routines built around your actual work - tasks you currently do manually that you'll now do faster, every time, without starting from scratch
A simple, settled tool stack chosen for capability, privacy, ethics, and environmental impact - no more tool fatigue or chasing the next new thing
A clear view of where AI is heading and what that means for small businesses
A completed mini-project you can point to
Access to teaching recordings and supporting resources

This is a small, active cohort - come ready to participate, try things live, and bring your real work challenges.

Who it's for

Small business owners and their teams who are already using AI occasionally and are ready to make it a systematic, responsible part of how they work. No coding. Ever.
