This course takes Claude from the chat window into the surfaces where your work actually happens — browser, spreadsheets, decks, dashboards — and teaches you to encode your standards as reusable Skills.
We teach practical application. Not what dazzles in a demo but what you will actually apply day in and day out to your work.
We build conceptual understanding. If you grasp the why, then you can deploy the how more flexibly & confidently.
Five sessions across the surfaces where your work happens — the browser, spreadsheets, decks, and dashboards — with Skills in the middle so everything after it starts from your standards.
A browser that works alongside you.
Put Claude next to whatever’s on screen — reading, comparing, and pulling from pages as you work — and hand it multi-step web tasks to run on your behalf.
Assignment: Apply or adapt an in-class use case for your workflows + class-wide challenge: who can save the most money using Claude in Chrome?
From messy input to finished analysis.
Clean, explore, and model data collaboratively inside the spreadsheet — organizer, analyst, auditor, and formula-builder in one.
Assignment: Take one messy spreadsheet end-to-end with Claude.
Encode your standards once; apply them forever.
Skills are packaged instructions that capture your workflows, formats, and standards so Claude performs them consistently every time. You’ll apply Skills thinking to the work you’ve already done.
Assignment: Build, test, and refine a Skill that is useful for you.
Decks from content you already have.
Generate new decks and raise the quality of decks you already have: tighter copy, better layout, your brand applied from your template.
Assignment: Elevate one existing deck, and create a Skill to layer with PowerPoint.
From analysis to something people can see.
Turn analysis into interactive tools and dashboards that your team can actually use.
Assignment: Build one visualization or mini-dashboard from your own data.
We work through concepts live on real examples. Everyone gets the recording for 7 days to watch it back.
You apply what you learned to your work, ~30 minutes outside class.
Your instructor reviews your work, answers questions, and adds notes where helpful.
The next class opens with a discussion of examples & questions from the class.
Plus dozens of independent consultants and boutique advisory firms.
