Team workshops
Workshop on Personal Productivity with AI
Private cohort workshop for managers, directors, and high-performing ICs. These pages spell out format, sample exercises, tooling, logistics, optional post-workshop engineering, and how to book.
Problems we solve
Where desk productivity breaks, and what we fix
The workshop follows real work loops, not a vendor feature list. Each block lists symptoms we hear often, then what we build in the room so managers and ICs leave with the same playbook.
Mail and chat overload
Symptoms
- High performers live in reactive mode; deep work blocks rarely survive the morning.
- Threads get forwarded instead of summarized, so every meeting starts ten minutes late.
Workshop focus
Triage labels, one-page meeting briefs, and reply variants with explicit policy flags before send.
Shadow tools, uneven habits
Symptoms
- Some people run approved workspaces; others paste customer notes into consumer chat.
- Tool sprawl grows because the sanctioned path feels slower than the shortcut.
Workshop focus
A written map of approved surfaces, faster exemplars inside them, and manager-sponsored defaults the team can adopt Monday.
Managers lag on modeling
Symptoms
- Leaders ask teams to use AI but still send walls of text and skip the same norms they request.
- Enablement cannot scale because behavior examples are missing from the top of the house.
Workshop focus
Director-ready exemplars, public before-and-after snippets that respect redaction, and a short manager rollout checklist.
Fast drafts, slow regret
Symptoms
- Speed wins until Legal or a customer flags an overclaim or a pasted confidential line.
- People are unsure which topics always need a second read.
Workshop focus
Red-team passes, topic-based second-read rules, and templates that surface unknowns instead of hiding them.
No shared playbook
Symptoms
- Everyone has a favorite prompt in a private tab; nobody can onboard a new hire in under a week.
- IT sees risk; the team sees chaos; neither sees a single list of what good looks like.
Workshop focus
A lightweight team prompt library with owners, version dates, and links to the skill store bundles you can fork.
You are in the right place if…
- You lead managers or senior ICs who already perform and still need air cover on mail, meetings, and docs.
- You need one baseline across departments without forcing everyone through the same vertical deep dive.
- You need written norms for what may leave approved systems and who signs customer-facing text.
- You want leaders to model the same habits they ask for in performance conversations and staff meetings.
