The argument
Why a room full of women?
It isn’t an ability gap. It’s a support gap — and confidence is the whole of it.
Because the numbers say what many of us have felt: AI arrived at work with a cheering section for some people and a raised eyebrow for others.
Women are using AI less than men — and not just here. A Harvard Business School analysis of studies spanning more than 100 countries found that roughly 39% of women have adopted generative AI, compared with 48% of men. Among small business owners, the gap has grown more than eightfold since 2019.
Here’s the part that matters: it isn’t an ability gap. It’s a support gap. Men are 23% more likely to be encouraged by their managers to use AI, and 27% more likely to be praised when they do. Women are 32% more likely to worry that using AI will be seen as cheating. When trying a new tool earns him credit and earns her a raised eyebrow, her caution isn’t timidity — it’s an accurate reading of the room.
But caution has a price. These tools are quickly becoming part of how business gets done, and every month of “I’ll figure it out later” compounds. Confidence is the whole gap. And confidence doesn’t come from webinars; it comes from doing.
The research on what actually closes the gap points to two things: hands-on training built around your real work, and a trusted circle of peers to learn alongside. That is exactly what this is. Eight women, one table, laptops open, working on your actual to-do lists — the client email, the marketing post, the week’s logistics. No jargon. No judgment. Nobody left behind.

I’m interested in NovemberQuestions,
answered
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can send an email, you can do this. The room is deliberately mixed.
Which AI tool do we use?
We use a widely available AI assistant in your browser. I’ll email you exactly what to open before the session. You’ll work on your own laptop and leave knowing how to do it again on Monday.
What if I’ve never touched AI?
Then you’re exactly who this is for. We start by practising together on one shared example, so nobody is alone with a blank screen.
What if the date doesn’t work?
Tell me you’re interested in October or November and you’ll pick the date before anyone else. If you’ve already booked and something comes up, transfer your seat to the next table.
Is it really just eight of us?
Eight seats, never more. That’s the whole point — small enough that nobody hides, and that everyone finishes something.
Take your seat
Two and a half hours, seven other women, and one thing finally off your plate.
