Workshops — Spartalis Consulting
Workshops

A training day that actually changes how your team works on Monday.

Built around your real workflows, not a generic AI demo. Your team leaves with things they actually built during the session, not a slide deck they'll forget by Friday.

Available in-person Australia-wide and virtually. Most enquiries get a response within 2 business days.

Why most training days don't stick

Everyone claps. Nothing changes.

Most AI training is a demo. Someone shows a tool, the room nods, and three weeks later nobody's using it — because nothing built that day connected to anyone's actual job. A workshop only works if people leave with something running in their own business, not a screenshot of someone else's.

In the room
"Emma doesn't do for the sake of doing. She leads purposefully. Her approach focuses on people where others stop short at tools. If lasting impact is what you're after, I cannot recommend Emma enough."

Three ways to run it

Pick the format that fits the room

Half-Day

Best for: single teams, 8–25 people

AI Foundations Workshop

The BRAIN Method — Applied

A half-day session that takes your team from "we use AI sometimes" to having one real workflow built and running before they leave the room.

  • Live walkthrough of the BRAIN Method, mapped to your business context
  • One real automation or workflow built together, in the room
  • Plain-language AI risk and data-handling primer
  • Take-home implementation checklist for the next 30 days

Most teams come back within 90 days for a follow-up session once the first workflow is bedded in.

Full-Day

Best for: departments, 15–40 people

Full-Day Intensive

The BRAIN Method — Built Out

A full working day where each team or function leaves with two to three live workflows, plus a governance conversation that holds up if leadership asks how decisions were made.

  • Morning: BRAIN Method framework + business context mapping by team
  • Midday: hands-on build session, 2–3 workflows per team
  • Afternoon: governance and accountability briefing for team leads
  • A written summary of what was built and what's next

Many full-day clients move into a short advisory retainer to keep momentum past the workshop date.

90 Minutes

Best for: executive teams, boards

Executive Briefing

AI Governance for Leaders

A focused session for the people who'll be asked to sign off on AI strategy, not use it day-to-day.

  • Plain-language overview of AI governance and accountability
  • A working framework for evaluating AI risk and opportunity
  • Real examples from enterprise delivery
  • A short list of next steps tailored to where you sit today

Often the entry point into a full AI Readiness Assessment or governance retainer.

From the room
"Six weeks ago I called myself the least tech-savvy person in any room. Last week my VA went MIA and my honest reaction was.. Meh. I've got this."

What makes this different

Not a demo. A working session.

01

Built around your real workflows and tools, mapped before the session starts.

02

People leave having built something, not just watched someone else build it.

03

Led by someone who's been accountable for enterprise delivery, not a generalist trainer.

04

Every session ends with a written next-steps document, not a feel-good wrap-up.

What people say after the session

★★★★★

"Working with Emma Spartalis is like having a secret weapon — one that's equal parts strategist, cheerleader, and digital powerhouse. She blends empathy with expertise, and her high-performing teams are her legacy — as I've seen many thrive under her leadership."

★★★★★

"Six weeks ago I called myself the least tech-savvy person in any room. Last week my VA went MIA and my honest reaction was.. Meh. I've got this. My content is posting automatically and a vet I hadn't spoken with before booked a call from my posts this week."

★★★★★

"As someone building a small Australian family business from the ground up, it's easy to think these things are only for larger businesses. Emma's guidance has shown me that's simply not true."
