The Savvy Business Lab

Learn to Use AI, In Person

Six hands-on classes for business owners who want to actually learn this, not just read about it.

Two to three hours in a small classroom in Oldsmar, your laptop open on the table. Jo-Anne teaches a step, you practice it on your own business, and she helps at your seat when you get stuck. You leave knowing how to do it again on your own.

Six Classes. Six Skills You Keep.

What to expect

A Real Class, Not a Watch-Me Webinar

  1. Step 1

    Before class

    Complete the short readiness module, test your logins, and gather the files you will work on.

  2. Step 2

    In the room

    Jo‑Anne teaches a step, you do it on your own work, and she helps at your table when you get stuck.

  3. Step 3

    After class

    Take your finished work and the class materials home, practice the steps once more, and build on what you learned.

You may attend without completing the pre-work, but we cannot guarantee you will finish the work during class time.

Prerequisites

What You Need Before Class

  • A charged laptop and power cord. A phone or tablet alone is not enough.
  • An updated Chrome or Edge browser.
  • A Google account and working access to Google Drive.
  • The accounts listed for the class you are attending.
  • Every required login tested on the laptop you are bringing.
  • The required files gathered and organized.
  • Practice or fictional information instead of sensitive customer data.
  • A phone or second device when possible, so instructions can stay open while you work on the laptop.
  • The required pre-work submitted at least 48 hours before class.

Required pre-work

Arrive Ready to Learn

  1. 1Complete the 20-to-30-minute readiness module.
