At Untapped Potential, our skillUP opportunities are designed with you in mind. We're here to build your confidence as you prepare for your #returntowork journey — and that means skilling up, even in areas that may feel unfamiliar, like AI.

*Linda Albright speaking at Untapped Potential's Return-to-Work in STEM fields at Slalom Consulting October 20th.*

AI does not need to be "scary".

Think about this opportunity...if you're reentering the workforce, AI may be the single best place to invest your energy.

Why? Because everyone is new to it.

The playing field has been reset so you are not alone. While people already on the job are juggling AI adoption on top of their day-to-day, you have the time and headspace to build genuine fluency now — so you walk back in not just caught up, but ahead.

Let's navigate this together...

Why This Matters for Women

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how we work, learn, and connect. For many women, stepping into this fast-moving technology can feel overwhelming, and traditionally, tech hasn't always made women feel welcome. That's exactly what we want to change.

We believe technology should stay open and accessible. AI shouldn't feel like the domain of "tech bros" or something you need a computer science degree to touch. The future of AI needs women's voices, women's judgment, and women's life experience — including the perspective that comes from managing a household, caregiving for kids or aging parents, and solving problems no app has solved yet. We don't just want women to keep up with AI. We want women to direct it.

That's the spirit behind our skillUP | AI Happy Hour: a casual, judgment-free place to connect, learn, and talk about it all, glass of wine entirely optional.

Your Guide: Linda Albright

Our speaker is founder Linda Albright, an expert whose journey through the evolving tech landscape makes her an ideal guide for anyone looking to build confidence and skills in AI. Not because she makes it easy, but because she has a passion for the value that returning women can bring to this promising and explosive field.

Linda, founder of Albright AI Agency, is a Certified AI Consultant, Business Growth Specialist, and Certified Yoga Teacher with 25 years of experience in technology, marketing, and innovation. She has been part of the evolution from the early days of the web through Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, and now leads in the AI space. Her career has focused on helping startups grow and scale, blending technical knowledge with practical business insight — and her passion for teaching makes her a valuable mentor for women eager to explore AI.

Linda is unique in her conviction that AI needs women's input. Beyond her consulting work, she delivers AI Lab for Women and invites Untapped Potential members to these virtual happy hours. And she truly believes what we believe: that women adapting to this new way of working isn't just good for women, it's good for AI.

What You'll Learn

At the Happy Hour, you'll gather with other smart, curious women to talk about what’s hype and what’s real in AI, how to think beyond just ChatGPT, and learn how others are using the tools and experimenting with AI in their journey. Plus, you'll get an inside look at Linda's in-depth program, AI Lab for Women, a six-week course with a chance to build skills, confidence, and a network in a rapidly evolving field.

Who Should Attend

Attend because you are:

Curious about AI but not sure where to start
Determined not to be left behind as the workplace changes
Tried ChatGPT and want to go deeper with the latest scoop

This event is for our whole Untapped Potential community. If you're a stay-at-home mom updating your skills before your return, this is your head start. If you're a mentor or a client whose workplace isn't offering AI training, this is your chance to stay current on your own terms. Wherever you sit in the UP family, the future of work is arriving and we want you to be a part of shaping it.

The first step is just learning and listening about it. What could be easier? Get used to the jargon, hear about things you might want to read more - all from the comfort of your home while enjoying a glass of wine.
