AI Beginners Workshop
Join us in person for the AI Beginners Workshop and start your journey into the world of artificial intelligence!
AI made simple for real people.
If you can write an email, you can use AI.
What this workshop is about
Artificial intelligence is no longer something happening “out there.”
It is already changing how we write, plan, think, work, and make decisions.
But for most people, AI feels:
- Confusing
- Overwhelming
- Too technical
- Or like it is moving too fast
This workshop is designed to change that.
In one friendly, practical, in-person session, you will learn what AI really is, how tools like ChatGPT actually work, and how to start using them in simple, useful ways in everyday life and work.
No jargon.
No coding.
No pressure.
Just clarity, confidence, and your first real step into the future.
Who this is for
This workshop is perfect for:
- Professionals
- Business owners
- Students
- Church and community leaders
- Creatives
- Anyone who feels “behind” on AI
- Anyone curious but unsure where to start
You do not need to be technical.
You do not need experience.
You just need curiosity.
What you’ll learn
You will:
- Understand what AI is and what it is not
- See how ChatGPT and modern AI tools actually work
- Learn how to ask better questions to get better results
- Use AI for writing, planning, brainstorming, and simplifying information
- Learn what to avoid and how to use AI safely and responsibly
You will leave knowing how to use AI as a thinking partner, not a mystery.
Meet Your Host: Aldrich Obach

Guest Speaker: Brad Allen
Brad Allen is an AI enthusiast and entrepreneur who actively explores, builds, and experiments with the latest AI tools in real-world business.
AI enthusiasts often stay ahead of trends long before they reach the mainstream. Brad brings that front-line perspective, sharing what is emerging, what actually works, and how everyday people can use AI right now in practical ways.
He brings a builder’s mindset that complements Aldrich’s decision-science and leadership approach.
Why this workshop is different
Most AI sessions are:
- Too technical
- Too abstract
- Or just a software pitch
This session is about you:
Your time
Your work
Your decisions
Your future
You will not just hear about AI.
You will see it, try it, and understand it.
Limited seats
This is a live, in-person workshop with limited capacity. Early Bird tickets are available for a short time and will sell out first.
If you have been meaning to learn about AI but did not know where to start, this is your moment.
👉 Secure your seat now and take your first confident step into the future of work.
