SUMMARY:The Power of the Room: Better Business Decisions Through Collective Wisdom
DESCRIPTION:Discover how real business challenges\, collective wisdom\, and expert facilitation can spark fresh perspectives and stronger decisions. You’ve built your business on your own experience\, instincts\, and decisions. But what about the insights you haven’t encountered yet? The lessons another entrepreneur has already learned? The opportunities you might recognize if you could see your business through someone else’s eyes? Some of the most valuable business insights come from experiences that aren’t our own. Imagine tapping into the collective wisdom of entrepreneurs who have navigated challenges\, made difficult decisions\, and discovered lessons that could change how you approach your own business. As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026 \, join entrepreneur and business advisor Tamara Carlen for an engaging\, interactive experience that brings the power of collective wisdom to life. You’ll experience a live\, expertly facilitated peer advisory session where entrepreneurs bring real business experiences and challenges into a structured process designed to uncover insights\, explore different perspectives\, and create meaningful learning. The real value comes when collective wisdom is unlocked through skilled facilitation\, thoughtful questions\, and a purposeful process. Fresh perspectives that help you see your business differently. Discover how fellow entrepreneurs’ experiences\, challenges\, and lessons can reveal opportunities\, challenge assumptions\, and offer new ways to approach decisions in your own business. Real-world wisdom you can put to work. Learn from entrepreneurs who have navigated tough decisions\, unexpected obstacles\, and growth opportunities. See how expert facilitation turns those individual experiences into practical insights that benefit everyone in the room. \nSource and tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-power-of-the-room-better-business-decisions-through-collective-wisdom-tickets-2003468340739

SUMMARY:AI Workflow Decision Lab: Small Business Edition
DESCRIPTION:Explore practical AI workflows\, compare your options\, and leave with smarter ways to run your small business. AI Workflow Decision Lab: Small Business Edition is an in-person event for exploring AI workflow decisions in a small business context. One business bottleneck. One clearer workflow. A practical plan you can take back to work. AI is becoming part of everyday business operations\, but deciding where it actually belongs can be challenging. Not every repetitive task needs AI. Not every automated process will improve results. And not every workflow should operate without human oversight. AI Workflow Decision Lab: Small Business Edition is a small-group\, hands-on workshop for small business owners\, founders\, managers\, and independent professionals interested in exploring practical and responsible AI adoption. Instead of listening to another presentation about the latest AI tools\, participants work through structured exercises to identify operational challenges\, design potential AI-assisted workflows\, and evaluate practical implementation considerations. The experience combines individual planning\, facilitator guidance\, small-group discussion\, and professional exchange. No coding experience or advanced technical background is required. \nSource and tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ai-workflow-decision-lab-small-business-edition-tickets-2004395776725
