AI Fluency Foundations
The NAWBO Member Cohort for Women Business Leaders
AI fluency is the new business literacy.
Join an exclusive live cohort experience created specifically for NAWBO members to help you confidently apply AI to your business, save time, and lead in an AI-powered future.
- Eight LIVE virtual training sessions
- Cohort-based learning with fellow NAWBO members
- Hands-on assignments built around your role
- Independent AI Fluency certification
- Limited enrollment
When I began, I thought I was comfortably a 3 in AI skill. After the training, I realized I was a 0.9, and now I am in the 3-4 range.
The instructors are excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and practical—and they make the entire experience worthwhile. I’m walking away from this course with not only a much better understanding of what AI can do, but also how to use it more effectively and responsibly. For any business owner or professional looking to better understand and leverage AI, this course is a must.
The AI Cohort was truly eye-opening and empowering. I never realized how much control one can really have over AI and its resulting responses. Now, I feel confident that I can work a problem/issue using AI as the true productivity tool it was meant to be. I also gained a far greater understanding of what information should be shared with AI, and what information should be safeguarded from AI.
Why This Matters Now
Twenty years ago, business leaders needed to become digitally fluent.
Today, they need to become AI fluent.
AI is already changing how businesses market, communicate, hire, create, and compete. Yet many leaders find themselves caught between two realities:
- Feeling overwhelmed by the pace of change.
- Collecting prompts and tools without building real confidence.
AI Fluency Foundations isn’t about becoming a technologist.
It’s about becoming the leader in the room who can confidently say:
“I’ve got this.”
Designed for Women Leaders
This exclusive NAWBO cohort was created for business owners and leaders who want to:
Save time with practical AI workflows.
Understand where AI creates value in their business.
Communicate confidently about AI with clients, teams, and partners.
Build better systems and processes.
Develop a practical AI roadmap.
Lead with confidence through change.
No technical background required.
Experience the Same AI Training as the NAWBO HQ Staff
Unlike prerecorded courses or generic AI training, AI Fluency Foundations is a live, hands-on learning experience, recently completed by the staff at NAWBO headquarters.
Every participant will:
- Learn alongside fellow NAWBO members.
- Complete assignments based on their actual role and business.
- Measure the time and value AI creates.
- Build repeatable workflows they can use immediately.
- Gain confidence through practice, not theory.
- Earn an independently endorsed AI Fluency certification.

Discover what AI is good for (and what it isn’t). Learn input/output models that drive better results.
📋 Session 2: Systematize with SOPs

Draft a scaling roadmap by leveraging AI’s analytical abilities to evaluate your role, AI’s growth, and 3 time horizons.
