We’re building Circe—the first micro-coaching platform designed for the rhythm of a woman’s professional life. Not with hour-long lectu9res, but with precise, actionable support that meets you where you are.

Before we launch publicly, we’re gathering a Founding Circle of women—those who lead, build, and navigate unique challenges—to experience what targeted support can do as we get deeper into the new year.

Format: An immersive evening of connection, a live micro-coaching experience, panel discussion, and an exclusive look at the evolution of Circe.

P.S. As a Founding Circle guest, you’ll be offered exclusive first access and a permanent role in our community.

Join HUM4NS for a night of connection and inspiring talks over drinks in our cosy cocktail bar.

HUM4NS began life as a series of talks among entrepreneurs, providing them with a platform to step out from behind ‘what they do’ and venture into the ‘who I am, what holds me back and how I moved forward’.

HUM4NS provided a platform for ordinary people to share Honest, Uplifting, Motivational, Aspirational, Nourishment for the Soul, inspiring others to take action and build towards achieving their own dreams.

Stepping into a brave new world and opening ourselves up to a new audience, HUM4NS has a simple but important quest; to help the world be a happier, healthier, smarter and kinder place, by providing a place for people to learn, grow and develop.

Join us for AI in Action, a highly interactive ‘live consultation’ event where three expert AI practitioners will unpack and respond to business challenges submitted by you, our attendees. This isn’t a theoretical overview or a tech showcase, it’s a practical consultation designed to help organisations understand how AI can support their operations, decision-making and growth.

Whether you’re wrestling with inefficiencies, facing data overwhelm, exploring new ways to reach your audience, or experimenting with automation, this event offers a rare chance to have your specific business conundrum explored openly by a panel of specialists.

What to Expect
– A welcome drink on arrival and time to meet other local organisations
– Three AI experts analysing real challenges submitted by attendees
– 2–3 selected businesses will receive a live, in‑depth, on‑stage consultation
– Room-wide learning: the panel discussions are designed so every attendee can apply the insights to their own organisation, even if not selected
– Access for all attendees to an online AI recommendation tool, helping you identify practical AI solutions tailored to your business
– Clear, actionable takeaways relevant across sectors and sizes
– A jargon-free, supportive space to ask questions and explore possibilities

Ongoing Support:
Each of our panellists is available for further guidance after the event. For organisations looking to take the next step, we’ll help connect you to relevant follow‑up opportunities, including specialist consultancy and support offered through Bath Spa University. There’s no pressure; it’s simply there if you would like help turning ideas into action.

How It Works:
When you book your ticket, you’ll be invited to submit a short description of a business challenge you’d like the panel to consider. We’ll review all submissions and select a representative mix for live discussion. Even if your challenge isn’t chosen, you’ll gain insights you can apply directly to your context.

Even if your challenge isn’t selected, you’ll still gain:
– insights from similar problems explored live
– personalised recommendations via the online survey tool
– direct access to experts for follow‑up support

Why Attend:
Because you deserve an event that is about practical, contextualised guidance, shaped around the realities of your organisation.

Spaces are limited to maintain quality discussion.
