If marketing feels overwhelming, Canva confuses you, and AI feels like “it’s not for people like me”- this workshop is for you.
You don’t need to be a designer.
You don’t need to be “good with computers”.
And you definitely don’t need to understand jargon.
In just 3 supportive, hands on hours, you’ll learn how to confidently create professional marketing content for your business using Canva and simple AI tools – without stress, pressure, or tech overwhelm.
🌱 Who this workshop is for
This session is designed specifically for:
• Small business owners, freelancers and sole traders
• People who feel behind with marketing or tech
• Anyone who avoids posting because they don’t know what to say or how to make it look good
• Business owners who want to stop outsourcing simple marketing tasks and feel more in control
If you’ve ever thought “everyone else seems to get this except me” – you’re exactly who this is for.
🚫 Who this is NOT for
This workshop is not for:
• Graphic designers or marketing professionals
• People already confident using Canva and AI daily
• Anyone looking for advanced or highly technical training
This is a beginner friendly, confidence building session.
✨ What you’ll leave with
By the end of the workshop, you will:
• Feel confident opening Canva and actually knowing what to do
• Understand how to create consistent, on brand visuals
• Have ready to use designs you can adapt again and again
• Know how to use AI as a support tool (not something scary or complicated)
• Walk away with clarity, confidence, and momentum
Most importantly: you’ll stop second guessing yourself.
🖥️ What we’ll cover (in plain English)
This is a hands on “doing” workshop, not a lecture. I guide you step by step, and you learn by creatin.
☑️ Canva from the very beginning
You’ll learn how to:
• Navigate Canva without feeling lost
• Use templates properly (and make them your own)
• Choose fonts, colours and elements that actually work together
• Upload and use your own photos and imagery
• Create social media posts, simple marketing graphics and visuals
• Add light animation and music to make your content stand out
• Save and download designs confidently
🧠AI – made simple and human
AI doesn’t replace you – it helps you save time. You’ll learn how to:
• Use AI tools like ChatGPT/Claudie.ai/ Gemini in a beginner friendly way
• Create content that sounds like you, not a robot
• Plan a month of content in minutes instead of hours
• Re-purpose one idea into multiple posts
• Use prompts that help you understand your ideal customer and messaging
No jargon. No pressure. Plenty of support.
🤝 What makes this workshop different
• Small group setting for personalised support
• No assumptions about prior knowledge
• Questions encouraged throughout
• Calm, friendly, non judgemental environment
• Designed around real business owners, not “techy” people

🙋♀️How this is different from funded or free courses
This workshop is not a large, funded classroom session.
It’s a small, supportive, hands on workshop for business owners who want personal guidance, confidence, and real progress, not generic information.
With a maximum of five people, there’s time to ask questions, get individual help, and leave with marketing content actually created for your business, not just notes to look at later.
Many people attend funded or free courses and still leave thinking, “I understand it… but I don’t feel confident doing it.”
This workshop exists for that moment.
