Workshops and Webinars for Businesses and Solopreneurs

Because I believe that tech can be for everyone, one of the activities I enjoy most is running workshops. These bring people together and give us the chance to share our skills with you. My aim is always to educate, empower, and demystify!

Unfortunately, all in-person workshops were cancelled in 2020 (due to Covid) and also in 2021, but all the classes listed here can also be delivered online via Zoom in small group sessions. These can be arranged on demand and, if any classes are scheduled, you’ll see the 2022 dates listed below.

All my workshops are interactive. This means you will not just be watching a presentation during the session: there are exercises to do, both to keep you engaged and to ensure you are actually learning during the session. There is also the opportunity for Q&A.
