Who This Is For

Built for Real People at Real Moments

You don't need a business degree or a tech background. You need a plan, the right tools, and a community that has your back.

◈

Small Business Owners

You are running it — sales, delivery, invoicing, all of it. You need the business to stop depending on how many hours you can stay awake.

⬡

Consultants & Specialist Founders

HR, coaching, professional services. You are excellent at the work. Running a business around the work is the part nobody trained you for.

◎

Nonprofit & Community Leaders

Grants, boards, reporting, and a budget that assumes you will cope. You build capacity for everyone else. This is the room where someone builds it for you.

✦

Professionals Working Out What's Next

Laid off, pivoting, or building quietly on the side. You do not need a pep talk. You need a first step with a date on it.

Beyond the Barrier™ — Founders & Leaders Masterclass, Manhattan, Sat 24 October 2026, 11AM–4PM
Oct 24, 2026 Manhattan

Beyond the Barrier™

The flagship. Five hours to name the barrier that is actually blocking you, test it against your numbers, and build past it. You leave with systems in place, AI workflows configured and running, and a 30-day playbook and experiment card. Human capability first — AI as the multiplier, never the replacement.

AI as a Force Multiplier™ Virtual

Go beyond prompting. Use AI with purpose and strategy, set smart guardrails — and multiply what you can imagine, create and achieve. Not a prompt-engineering webinar: a working masterclass for business and career. Start with the outcome, find the leverage, work it live on a real challenge, pressure-test what comes back, and carry it forward. No technical background required.

Dec 19–20, 2026 Long Island

The Immersion Retreat

Two days in Stony Brook, Suffolk County, Long Island. Deep coaching, a private Founder Focus, and a finished 90-day direction you leave with. Saturday gets to the real work — start with the outcome, find the leverage, work it live — then The Table in the evening. Sunday tests it, strengthens it, and commits to it. Human capability first. AI as the multiplier, never the replacement.

AI as a Force Multiplier

Purpose-Driven AI.
Real-World Business Impact.

We don't teach AI for AI's sake. We use it to solve the business problem in front of you.

Not another AI hype session. You spend the day running your business on a stack you built yourself — and leave knowing exactly what it can do.

◈

Point It At Anything

A grant narrative. A board paper. A pricing model. Once you can see what your stack does, the applications are yours to choose.

◎

Built By You, Not For You

You leave understanding every piece of what you built. No black box, no dependency, nobody to come back to for permission.

⬡

Your Business Brain

One set of operating instructions that knows your business, your voice and your standards. Build it once in the room; it works every time after.

⚙

Systems That Run Without You

Standardize the work so it stops routing through you every time. This is the line between busy and scalable.

✦

The Week Back

The admin that eats your evenings, handled. You keep the judgment calls — the part nobody should ever automate.

◇

Lean AI Stack

Build a working toolkit on the tools you already have access to — tool pricing changes, so we teach you where paying starts to earn its keep, not a fixed price tag.

Build These Online Nov 21 — $39 ↗

Two hours, live online, open worldwide — 1–3pm GMT (8am ET) on Nov 21. Early bird $39, $49 standard.

The Room You're Walking Into
Judi Snell — Founder, Mommentis · WOYA · CAiG Judi — Always moving forward
Your Lead Facilitator

Meet Judi Snell

Founder of WOYA, Mommentis Consultants (a for-profit business consulting firm), and Collaborative AI Group (CAiG) — Judi is an Economist, small business strategist, an advocate for AI adoption with purpose, and creator of the Y-Method™: a customizable decision-making framework built for founders navigating complex, real-world challenges.

She built three interconnected organizations from the ground up — each one a proof of concept for what compassionate, AI-powered, human-centered business looks like in practice. Her work spans from intimate founder rooms in Manhattan to the UN High-Level Political Forum in New York.

She doesn't just teach what to do. She's already done it — and she'll show you exactly how, in a room small enough that you can ask every question you've been afraid to ask.

Judi at HLPF 2026

As convener and strategic facilitator of "AI or Be Left Behind — Building the Human Infrastructure the SDGs Actually Need," Judi Snell led one of the most significant conversations happening at the intersection of AI, equity, and global development.

Not a panel presentation — a convened movement, bringing policymakers, technologists, and community voices together to make the case that AI adoption without human infrastructure is development theater. The founders in rooms like this one are the human infrastructure the SDGs need.

What Founders Actually Say

No polished PR quotes. Real people. Real results.

★★★★★

“I didn’t just leave with a plan. I left with a business — payment systems set up, business accounts open, and everything ready to launch. Mommentis built it with me in the room. That’s not a workshop. That’s transformation.”

Sotonye H.

HR Business Founder · cyliaroh.com

★★★★★

“In a 2-hour consultative discussion, Judi walked me through ways to simplify my process, and her advice was spot on. She introduced me to several options on Canva, a seamless platform that not only enhanced my efficiency but also significantly cut costs.”

Bimpe Onakoya

CEO, Elite Makeup Pro · Former Artistic Director, L’Oréal & Maybelline West Africa

★★★★★

“I operate across borders and the efficiency gap was costing me real money. What I learned here compressed what used to take me days into hours. I walked out with things I could use the very next morning.”

Mike A.

International Contractor

★★★★★

“As a life coach launching my own consultancy, I needed clarity on the business side. Judi’s approach is practical, human, and unlike any workshop I’ve attended. It felt built specifically for me.”
