  • Laurel Papworth was an excellent facilitator for this course. Clearly has very deep practical and theoretical knowledge on AI and much more. Our class was a varied mix of people who knew little about AI ( me!) and very experienced users. She dealt with my silly questions and the expert ones all in her stride. AIM should engage her full time She has a cracking sense of humour too – really great day and highly recommend this program. June 2023 Australian Institute of Management course.

  • AI IS MY COPILOT courses 2023-2024 (Australian Institute Of Management):
    • Laurel was excellent in every way. Thoroughly engaging, excellent blend of sharing her in-depth knowledge, in a relatable and humorous manner. Would recommend anyone curious about the usage of AI and ChatGPT, copilot et al to invest in this course. The facilities and catering were also top notch, venue very conveniently located, and staff at registration excellent. A++! (AIM Sydney)
    • Laurel made the subject fun and interesting (AIM Sydney 2024)
    • I loved her friendly and open approach – she did an incredible job at creating a group vibe through virtual means. the way she made time for questions and circled back to ensure she’d answered them effectively was much appreciated (AIM Virtual 2024)
    • Laurel was open to questions, and I learnt a lot from her responses to other students? queries. I didn’t use the notes included ad I always take my own, however, the resources list that Laurel included is very helpful, since I prefer to do my own research. Where does AIM find these amazing lecturers?! Thank you for bringing people with real world knowledge into the classroom. (AIM Virtual) 
    • Laurel was extremely knowledgeable but also conveyed the knowledge at a level befitting the group after assessing our collective prior knowledge level. She not only covered useful content but also focused on content that the group expressed special interest in. Her presentation skills were relaxed and she made herself approachable for participants to feel comfortable to engage in the session with no question made to seem like a silly question. The course content covered all areas suitable for an AI foundation course ie what it is, how to use it, dispelling participants’ fears in interacting with AI, what AI future might look like in the near and distant future and what pitfalls to look out for when building AI into a company or organisation. All with some great dad jokes thrown in! Perfect balance! (AIM Virtual) 
    • Thoroughly enjoyable day. Was exactly the type of content I was looking for, practical and immediately usable. Not too technical and everything presented in Laymans terms (AIM Melbourne)
    • Laurel was incredibly engaging and used humour very well. I would gladly and am recommending this to my colleagues. (AIM Melbourne)

  • I want to thank Laurel for an insightful, stimulating, absorbing, thought-provoking and very entertaining full day on the entire social media landscape.

Laurel’s workshop has gone a long way to convincing our management team of the prospective benefits of social media.
