The Pattern

Maximizing AI = Management Skills (not technical ones)

After teaching 500+ professionals to use AI in their work, one pattern stands out. The people who get the best results aren't engineers. They're leaders who know how to organize work, delegate it, and coach people through it.

Those are the same skills you use to get AI agents to do what you want. If you've trained a smart new hire, these four steps will sound familiar.

With a new hireWith Claude
1Walk them through the task and correct them as they go.Have Claude do the task once. Correct it as you go, until it gets it right.
2Ask them to write down the process so it sticks.Have Claude write the SOP. It saves what it learned as a skill, so you never explain it twice.
3Let them run it again with less hand-holding.Have Claude do it again. It works from the SOP with less guidance from you.
4Keep coaching them as the work changes.Keep giving feedback. It updates the SOP and gets better the more it works.

Proof from leaders

Real Results

8-hour QBR deck to minutes with Claude

"A big chunk of my week used to go to pulling reporting together by hand, exporting from Salesforce, and rebuilding the same QBR decks. After our session, I have a Claude skill that handles this for me."
Flora FelisbertoVP of Global Revenue Marketing, SecurityScorecard

From 20 hours of due diligence to 40 minutes

"I used to spend 1-2 hours on each vendor due diligence assessment. Shaw showed me how to build and update custom skills in Claude, and now it produces 10-15 in 40 minutes."
COOVenture Capital Firm

Frequently asked questions

I'm not technical. Will this work for me?

Yes. Leaders tend to be the best students because they already know how to delegate. If you can explain a task to a new hire, you can teach it to Claude. No code involved.

I don't have time to learn this.

That's why it's 90 minutes on your real work, not generic AI training. This workshop is designed to teach busy leaders the most important skills they need to maximize AI in the shortest amount of time. Additionally, most people walk away from the workshop getting back 5–10 hours a week. So if you're drowning right now, can you afford not to do this?

Is it safe to connect AI to my email and company data?

Generally yes, when following best practices. By default, Anthropic won't train on your data on team plans and you can opt-out on personal plans. Additionally, Claude holds SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications (i.e. they undergo routine 3rd-party security audits). To keep data in your circle of trust, stick to connectors built by Anthropic or by vendors you already pay (e.g. Gmail or Google Drive). You also control what each connector can do. For example, you can let Claude read and draft emails without letting it send them. We'll set all of this up together in the session.

We use ChatGPT or Copilot, not Claude. Is this still useful?

While we recommend using Claude for business users, the workshop works with ChatGPT and Copilot Cowork too. Skills are an open standard so they work across AI tools and the 4-step framework generalizes to any tool.

What happens on the fit call?

In 25 minutes, we'll find the busywork worth handing off first, check whether the workshop is a fit, and if it is, pick seats and dates. You'll leave with at least one workflow worth handing off either way.

Can I bring my team?

Yes. In fact, most clients start with 3-5 1:1 workshops for key leaders as the first step of a broader AI adoption plan. Every session is 1:1, so each person builds a skill for work they are actually doing. Teams of 3+ get seats at $1,500 each (33% savings).
