  • We recently had our first Lunch & Learn session since opening Patch in York, led by the wonderful Hannah Maude. As someone who has struggled with using AI both from a functional & ethical perspective, I was impressed with Hannah's expertise and simple, easy-to-follow introduction to: What AI is, Different use cases, Why women aren't as likely to use AI, How we can change that and develop our skills, Ethical/environmental considerations, Useful AI tools & uses. Hannah opened the floor for a great Q&A at the end, launching us into some great questions about the representation of women online, barriers to entry for AI use, governance and ethics, and hopeful futures for AI. It was such a joy to have access to Hannah's knowledge and skills, and was a brilliant way to kick off our future schedule of Lunch & Learn sessions within Patch!

  • What an incredible session! The AI Fundamentals Workshop in Sydney was a great blend of inspiration, innovation and hands-on learning. From the get-go, it was clear that Hannah isn't just talking theory. It was an on-the-ground tour in the AI space. She shared a range of practical applications and cutting-edge tools that had everyone buzzing with ideas by the end of the workshop. All the participants were entrepreneurs or consultants and there was something for everyone. It wasn’t just about what AI can do, it was about how we can actually use it in our own projects and careers. The workshop struck a great balance between big-picture thinking and actionable insights.

  • Hannah delivered a talk to the Women in CX community titled Women Leading AI: A New Framework for Responsible Adoption. She explored important topics like ethical AI, diversity in development, and the steps women can take to lead in this space. In particular, her practical advice on reskilling and embracing AI resonated with our members. Hannah has a real talent for making complex ideas relatable and actionable, leaving our community with plenty to think about and apply. I’d recommend her as a speaker for anyone wanting to inspire fresh perspectives on AI and its impact.

Last year, Hannah ran an AI Fundamentals workshop for our community at WOTSO Manly, where she shared her extensive knowledge and broke down complex topics into accessible, engaging content. Her enthusiasm, professionalism, and ability to connect with people made the session both inspiring and highly educational.

    Senior Customer Manager, Unilever

  • Hannah was a guest speaker at an event we held called "Female Leadership In The AI Age", her public speaking style is confident, funny and knowledgeable. The content was very relatable and from speaking to all the females in the room - CFO's and HR Leaders - everyone left feeling informed and ready to tackle AI adoption as it inevitably rolls out. I would recommend Hannah and her business to anyone who wanted to gain an insight into AI or needs a guest speaker for their event.

  • "It’s fair to say that the horse has bolted.” Just finished this AI Fundamentals course by the irrepressible Hannah Maude of Fire and Forte. Highly recommend this for anyone starting out with AI or wondering how they get beyond ChatGPT/Gemini into something more meaningful. Hannah breaks down the machines and datasets behind AI, dives into a broad variety of use cases from consumer goods, retail & pharmaceuticals sectors, and makes suggestions for prompts to help you get the most out of AI at home and work. It’s a very accessible price and a doable time investment"
