Claude 101: Setting up Your Workspace (Sept 16th)
Everyone keeps telling you to "just use AI."
Nobody's actually shown you how.
In two focused hours, you'll set up your Claude operating system: the foundation that turns Claude from a chatbot you poke at into a setup that actually works for you. You go from curious to capable, and you leave with real tools you'll use the next morning. ⚡
This is for you if you're:
🤔 New to Claude, or you've only dabbled in ChatGPT
😬 Curious but a little intimidated, and tired of feeling behind
⏰ Done hearing "just use AI" with no one showing you the how
🙌 Someone who learns best by doing, in a room, with help right beside you
🗓️ Wednesday, August 19th is your build day (in person), 10:00am to 12:00pm.
No experience needed. Bring your laptop and your real work. We'll work in Chat and Cowork, Claude's two modes in the desktop app, so you see both how to talk to Claude and how to delegate to it.
What you'll set up (that morning, not someday):
🔗Your operating system in Claude (Chat and Cowork). We’ll show you skills, connectors, and projects. And if you’re working in ChatGPT or Gemini we’ll show you how to bring all your info over.
🗣️ The skill of prompting well, so you get sharp, personalized results instead of generic ones
✍️ A "write in my voice" skill to help you create content for LinkedIn, Claude learns how you sound, and drafts IN YOUR VOICE, not AI jargon.
🧰 Getting started with your personal skill library, the saved recipes you run again and again
🧭 The confidence and the ground rules, how to delegate its work, and how to use it responsibly so you trust what you ship
This is hands-on. Laptop open. Accounts connected. A working system set up before you leave, not a demo you'll forget by Friday.
🎓 Where this goes next: This is your operating system. Ready to build the full Chief of Staff on top of it, the connected system that runs your inbox, briefings, and CRM together? Join us 3rd Wednesday of every month for our "Claude Chief of Staff 201", 1:00 to 3:00pm (right after 101). You can register for the same day and do both back to back!
Before you come (required):
Claude desktop app installed, with a paid Claude seat you can log into
Your real LinkedIn content or posts in hand or readily accessible
