AI Renaissance - “How to Structure an AI Training " -April 17, 2025
A session for those ready to step into the role of AI educator — in workplaces or local communities. With 25+ years in systems design and adult learning, I offered a clear, actionable roadmap for building and leading effective AI training. I shared my framework for engagement-driven workshops and emphasized the value of showing up live, not pre-recorded. I just don’t build e-learning — “things change too fast,” instead, I focus on local, in-person delivery that builds trust and momentum because “it’s not about perfection — it’s about participation.”

Jennifer Hugnagel is an AI Enthusiast and she helps people to understand how AI can help to benefit so many aspects of their lives.
AI is no longer optional—it’s already reshaping business, and those who don’t adapt risk falling behind. “Your company won’t go out of business because of AI. It will go out of business because another company is using AI.” But here’s the good news: you’re not too late. The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. The next best time? Today.
Right now, most businesses on Vancouver Island aren’t ready, and that’s a serious problem—but also a huge opportunity. Women entrepreneurs, in particular, are uniquely positioned to succeed in this AI-driven shift. Our strengths in communication, problem-solving, and adaptability make AI a natural fit—but only if we embrace it. The playing field is leveling, and those who take action . . .
