SUMMARY:How Women Leaders and Business Owners Are Winning Back Their Time with AI Integration
DESCRIPTION:Program: Productivity & Scale Mastery Program for Women LeadersTopic: Winning Back Time with AI IntegrationDate: Wednesday\, July 29\, 2026Time: 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. Eastern Standard TimeFormat: Virtual Leadership Roundtable \nPresented by: Marlene Sebastian · People & Tech Canada \nYou didn’t start your business to spend your evenings copying data between spreadsheets. But for most women entrepreneurs\, that’s exactly where the hours go — not into the work they’re brilliant at\, but into the administrative layer holding everything together by hand.\n\nThis practical\, non-technical workshop cuts through the hype and the fear to answer the question most AI conversations never get to: what can this actually do for my business\, starting this month?\n\nAttendees will walk through the real cost of manual work — not just in time\, but in energy\, decisions\, and growth opportunities quietly slipping by. We’ll address something most speakers skip: why Canadian skepticism of AI is completely valid\, and how to evaluate these tools without surrendering your data\, your privacy\, or your professional judgment. Then we get specific — three categories of work that almost every service business can automate right now\, without a developer and without a new software budget.\n\nThe session closes with a 20-minute facilitated activity: The $10\,000 Audit. Each attendee maps their own business tools\, identifies where data falls through the cracks\, and calculates the dollar value of what that manual work is actually costing them annually. Most people in the room discover a number between $8\,000 and $25\,000. They leave with that number — and a clear picture of exactly where it’s coming from.\n\nKey talking points: \n\n 	the real cost of doing-it-manually\n 	why Canadian AI skepticism is both valid and costly\n 	3 things every small business can automate this month\n 	what “human-in-the-loop” means and why it protects you\n 	a hands-on calculation every attendee completes in the room\n\nTakeaway: Every attendee leaves with a completed audit worksheet and a personal shortlist of automation opportunities. All attendees receive a complimentary 90-minute Tech Audit with Marlene — a structured\, no-obligation conversation that maps a clear path from insight to action for their business.
