Work Less Event 🔹
THE ONLY BUSINESS EVENT THAT GIVES YOU HOURS BACK
Work Less is one practical day to find what's slowing you down, learn the systems and AI tools that fix it, and leave with a clear plan to work less and earn more.
For busy entrepreneurs and founders who know there's a smarter way to run their business.
Monday 9 November · The Women's Organisation, Liverpool
Your business looks successful from the outside. But behind the scenes…
You feel constantly busy and slightly out of control
You are the bottleneck: every decision waits on you, so you can’t step away
Work keeps leaking into your evenings and weekends
You know systems and automations would help, but tech confuses you and you don’t know where to start
You feel you should be using AI, but there are so many options. You know that your competitors are ahead of you in this and it makes you panic
If that sounds like you, this day was designed for you. Spend a day ON your business and get weeks back.
Everything you need to run a business that needs less of you
ONE DAY, THREE TAKEAWAYS
01
Working Smarter, Not Harder
Systems and business strategies to make your business less dependent on you.
02
Systems With Soul
AI and marketing that run in the background and still feel human.
03
Redefining Success
Real stories of entrepreneurs who earn well without working all the hours.
You’ll leave with:
One automation ready to set up the following week
An AI workflow that saves you hours
A clear list of what to drop, delegate or systemise
Ideas for income that isn’t tied to your time
Your own Work Less action plan, written before you go home
A room of business owners who get it
What previous attendees said about the Work Less event
“Amazing day. I’m ready to put the systems in place that will help me work less and scale more!”
Anna Green
“My head is still buzzing. I've already completed the action that I committed to take which I didn't expect to do today! I'm feeling very efficient and proud of myself”
Rachel Philpotts
What makes Work Less different from other events
Hand picked speakers
Speakers are selected for their expertise, achievements and inspiring stories. There is no fee to speak on this stage.
Relatable stories
You are bored to hear £100k/month hacks. Here you’ll hear real stories from normal people who are able to make a great income while working part time.
Short talks
We won’t bombard you with information that you won’t know how to piece together. All talks are short, focused, and practical.
Manageable room
The room is small enough that you’ll have space to ask questions and actually connect with the speakers and other attendees.
Guided Networking
A proper networking time is built in rather than being left for the breaks. We’ll actively help you make connections based on your interests.
A safe space
I don’t care what you define yourself as, as long as you aren’t a dickhead. This is a welcoming, respectful space where everyone is treated as a peer, not ranked by gender, race, followers or revenue.
The Speakers
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Ilaria Sambi
Host and keynote
The Work Less System: do less to achieve more & Meet Mr Claude, my AI assistant
Ilaria went from stressed and overworked to doubling her income while halving her hours. A former scientist, she built a successful tech agency on part-time hours and now helps business owners win back 10+ hours a week. In her two sessions, she’ll show you the framework that allowed her to achieve her success, and the AI and automation tools behind it.
SPEAKER
Daniella Paolozzi
Founder, Pen Written Post
Pixels don’t have a pulse: how handwritten mail turns flat funnels into feeling
With 20+ years in marketing and two award winning companies, she created Human Signal Theory - her methodology for cutting through the synthetic noise and sounding human again. You’ll learn how to make your marketing feel human even when it’s automated.
SPEAKER
Jess Wesson
Founder, Showtime Circus
Bottling your magic to replicate and scale
Jess helps independent business owners grow without burning out by turning what makes them special into something that runs without them.
SPEAKER
Toni Addinall
Strategic Operations Partner
Time to take action
With 24 years in operations, project management and leadership, Toni turns big ideas into clear, workable plans. She closes the day by guiding you through your own action plan, so you leave with it written, not just a page of notes.
Victoria Tretis
Coach for Neurodivergent Adults
Panel: when doing more doesn’t mean getting more
When Victoria closed the VA agency she’d spent years building, she started defining success for herself. Now an ICF-accredited coach with 800+ hours of one-to-one experience, she helps neurodivergent adults find and pursue their own success.
PANELIST
PANELIST
Matt Hall
Online Business Strategist
Panel: when doing more doesn’t mean getting more
Matt helps everyday people turn their skills, story or passion into scalable online income. He’ll share how to build income that isn’t tied to your hours, and what it takes upfront to get there, with his trademark humour and no-BS style.
Meet your host, Ilaria Sambi
Hey! I’m Ilaria and I’ll be your host!
I’m an efficiency consultant, founder of Work Less. I help entrepreneurs create a business they can take a break from.
I see a common pattern with entrepreneurs in different industries and stages: too many business decisions rely on them, so they are overworked and feel trapped in a cage they built for themselves.
At the Work Less event, we’ll talk about the un-sexy stuff that makes your business run smoothly (systems and operations), and you’ll hear from business owners who are growing brilliantly, by doing things differently.
