Stop using Claude like Google.

A two-part live workshop where you stop getting answers and start getting actual work done — with a Claude that's set up for you, by you.

What version of Claude have you been using?

Most people who use Claude regularly have a similar experience: open a tab, type a question, get an answer, close the tab.

It's useful. But it's not really working.

You're using Claude the way you'd use a search engine — faster, smarter, but still just a lookup. There's a different version most people haven't found yet.

That version doesn't just answer questions. It does work. It remembers your context. It runs tasks while you're doing something else. It shows up on Monday morning with a briefing ready before you've had coffee.

This workshop is the setup I wish someone had handed me in month one.

The gap between these two versions isn't skill. It's setup.

You can watch every YouTube video out there, try things, experience the highs of something clicking and the frustration of something that won't. Most people lose a lot of time to that approach.

Or someone can just walk you through the setup.

Where you might be right now

Most people who use Claude have made some version of this journey — though rarely all the way through:

• Chat → asking Claude questions, getting answers, closing the tab
• Projects → a persistent space that remembers context between sessions
• Skills → small reusable instructions for things you do repeatedly
• Cowork + automations → Claude doing real work for you, connected to your tools, running in the background

Most Akimbo participants are somewhere between Chat and Projects. This workshop gets you to Skills and beyond — on your actual work, in two sessions.

Claude isn't a search engine. It's a colleague. But it needs to be onboarded.

Think about what it takes to bring someone new into your working life. You don't hand them a question and wait. You give them context. You explain what matters. You show them how you like things done.

Claude works the same way. Most people skip that step — then wonder why it keeps producing generic answers.

This workshop is the onboarding you never did.

Across two 90-minute sessions, you'll build your Monday Morning OS.

Not a theoretical system. Your actual working system — the one you open at the start of the week and run.

By the end of Session 2, you'll have:

• A brain file that gives Claude the context it needs to do real work
• A Project set up for the work you actually do
• A Skill you've built for something you do every week
• Claude connected to at least one tool you already use: calendar, email, or Drive
• A scheduled briefing that runs automatically

You build it in the room. Not watch someone else build it.

Session 1 — Set it up

Wednesday, July 1, 2026, 12:00–1:30pm ET

We open with Conor's live setup. Not a polished demo. His actual system, after 18 months of using Claude for real work.

How it works:

1. Live demo — Conor's actual setup, open on screen, no polish
2. You build — follow along and build yours in real time
3. Peer check-in — quick share before the session closes
4. Homework brief — one specific thing to build before Session 2

What you'll build:

• The difference between Claude.ai, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code — what lives where and why it matters
• Your brain file: the context that makes Claude useful for your specific work instead of everyone's
• Your first Project: a persistent workspace, not a chat thread
• Your first Skill: you'll build /monday-briefing together in the room

Between sessions: one piece of homework. Set up one Project with a brain file. Build one Skill for something you actually do.

Session 2 — Put it to work

Wednesday, July 8, 2026, 12:00–1:30pm ET

How it works:

1. Show-and-tell — breakout rooms, share what you built, steal each other's ideas
2. Connect — link Claude to your real tools in the session
3. Run it live — your Monday briefing fires in the room, on your actual data
4. What's next — a brief look at where to take it from here

Fair warning: once you see it running on your own data, in your own voice, connected to your tools — you'll start seeing automations everywhere.

After this workshop, you'll be able to:

• Open Claude Desktop on Monday morning and know exactly where to go first
• Give Claude the context it needs to do real work instead of generic answers
• Build a Skill for something you keep doing manually
• Connect Claude to your calendar, email, or drive without any technical knowledge
• Tell anyone in your life what Claude can actually do — and show them

What you walk away with

Walk in using Claude like a smarter search engine.

Walk out with:

• A working setup you can open tomorrow morning
• A brain file that carries your context across every session
• A Skill you built for something real in your work
• The confidence to keep extending it on your own

Why this matters right now

Everyone you know is using Claude. Most of them are getting generic answers and moving on.

The gap isn't access. It isn't skill. It's setup.

The people who get real work done with Claude have done one thing differently: they treated it like a colleague, not a tool. They gave it context. They built structure around it. They made it theirs. They took the time to onboard.

That's what this workshop is for.

Who this is for

This is for coaches, consultants, and independent professionals who:

• Use Claude occasionally but feel like they're getting a fraction of what it can do
• Have tried to "get better at prompting" and found it didn't change much
• Want their AI working life to feel more like collaboration and less like search
• Are ready to actually set something up, not just hear about it

This is not for you if:

• You've already set up Claude Cowork and use it daily
• You're looking for a broad survey of every AI tool available
• You want to build production software or complex systems
• You're expecting a passive webinar — you'll be building in the room

This is for people who want to build one working system — with Claude — and actually use it.

Curiosity required. Technical expertise optional.

A note from Conor

I've been building with Claude for 18 months — not experimenting, actually using it to run my work. Coaching leaders and consultants through Akimbo and altMBA, I've watched the same thing happen every time someone new picks up Claude: they start with a question, not a context. They get an answer, not a colleague.

This workshop is the setup I wish someone had handed me in month one.

Workshop details

• Two live sessions on Zoom — 90 minutes each
• Session 1: Wednesday, July 1, 2026, 12:00–1:30pm ET
• Session 2: Wednesday, July 8, 2026, 12:00–1:30pm ET
• Small group: maximum 20 participants
• One platform: Claude. You'll need a Claude Pro account before Session 1. That's the only thing to set up in advance.
• Between sessions: one piece of homework. You'll know exactly what to build.

Both sessions build on each other. Attending both is the point.

FAQ

Do I need Claude Pro?

Yes. Claude Pro is $20/month. Set it up before Session 1 — that's the only technical requirement.

Do I need to attend both sessions?

Yes. Session 2 picks up where Session 1 leaves off. The system you build in Session 1 is what you put to work in Session 2.

What if I already use Claude a lot?

Good — you'll move faster. Most regular Claude users have never done a proper setup. You'll find the gaps quickly and fill them in the room.

Will there be a recording?

No recording. Like all Akimbo workshops, this is designed to work live, not on replay.

Do you offer refunds?

Refunds available up to one week before Session 1.

Early bird: $395 until Wednesday, June 24, 2026.

Full price: $495.

Registration closes Tuesday, June 30, 2026. Spots are limited by design.
