Most AI workshops teach you about AI. This one uses it. On real work, from your firm, from the first minute.
Before the day, each attendee spends forty-five minutes in conversation with Claude, one that ends with four personal documents that tell him exactly who they are, how they write, how they want their work edited, and how they want him to behave. They don't arrive to learn what Claude can do. They arrive with Claude already knowing them.
Then the room works.
Not on exercises or role-plays. On the actual situations each person brought: the decisions that have been circling for weeks, the communications that need to land, the strategic problems that keep getting pushed aside by everything else.
Simon moves through the room. He's not presenting. He's watching how each person works with Claude and getting involved when it matters. When someone accepts an answer that isn't good enough. When the question could be sharper. When Claude is used like a search engine rather than a thinking partner. Every person in the room gets that attention applied to their actual work.
One solicitor in the room has been circling a client update for an hour before she arrived. Four minutes after starting properly with Claude, she has a working draft. The workshop is full of moments like that.
Half a day. Four to fifteen people. In person or online.
What's different?
They leave with a Claude that already knows them, tested against real problems from the firm.
They leave knowing how to use him well. Not the basics: anyone can ask Claude a question. The judgment. When to push back. When to iterate. When the first answer is a starting point, not a destination.
And they leave having done it. Not watched someone else do it. Done it themselves, on something that matters.
Simon is available by email for thirty days afterwards, for the questions that only emerge once people are back at their desks using it properly.
What this unlocks
A team that uses Claude properly can serve more clients, deliver better work, and take on bigger projects without adding to the payroll. The capacity is already in the firm. The workshop shows them how to use it.
The firms that develop this now will be significantly harder to compete with in two years. The ones that don't are handing that advantage to someone else.
What recovered capacity looks like
A senior solicitor spending two hours on a document that should take forty minutes recovers nearly ninety minutes every time. Across a team of eight, across a working year, that is a significant amount of capacity: either recovered as billable time or freed for the work that actually grows the practice.
An accountant producing client reports in half the time is not just more efficient. She can take on more clients without the overhead of another hire. The capacity was already in the firm.
A project architect working through a planning statement in two hours instead of half a day has an afternoon back for the work the practice actually needs from her. Across a ten-person team, the compounding effect is significant within weeks.
Firms like yours ...
Architecture practices, accountancy firms, law firms, boutique consultancies. Five to twenty-five people.
The owner buys it. The team attends. Both get something out of it.
What you'll need
Each attendee needs a Claude Pro account. If your team does not already have these set up, it is covered as part of the pre-work process.
Who runs it?
Simon Speight is a writer with three decades of small business experience behind him. He discovered Claude as a thinking partner, realised it changed how he worked, and developed a way to teach others to do the same. Everything in the workshop comes from daily practice, not theory.
