Gems in our Midst

Last Wednesday I went along to a Business Networking event hosted by Launch Pad Collective. Free to attend, no strings, yet full of knowledge and gems. And many people missed out.
The key speaker was Katrina Young, and let me tell you, she is no ordinary speaker. Her presentation on Ai and Automation was packed and not for the faint-hearted. This woman is top of her game and winning.
Katrina is:Ethical & Inclusive AI | SpaceTech | Visiting Lecturer | Workforce Careers Reskilling | Tech Founder | R&D | Fractional CAIO/CTO/CDO | Growth Consultant | Innovation | Digital Business Transformation | Futurist | Humanistic, EQ.
Check her out here: Katrina Young’s LinkedIn
She showed us:
How to put your humanness into your Ai endeavours and products
Why ethics matter – from IP ownership to system backups
The reality of creating your digital twin
That digital transformation is here, and you’re either in or out
What to automate in your business and how to approach it
Why security is non-negotiable
The power in the backend of your systems – where wealth is actually created
I left that room clearer, sharper, and with a reminder that we have gems in our community who we sometimes miss for various reasons. This was a free event, but the value was immense.
I will be following Katrina closely because she holds keys I need for what I am building, but also to see where she goes next.
If you get a chance to attend the next event, don’t hesitate. Show up. Learn. Network. Don’t let these gems pass you by.
