AI for Productivity Workshop
Your team has AI tools. They’re just not using them. This workshop changes that, with practical skills they can apply Monday morning.
- Full-day workshop
- Teams of 3–15
- On-site or online
Your Team Has AI.
They're Just Not Using It.
You’ve invested in the tools. Your team has access to ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar. But when you look at what’s actually happening, it’s the same story everywhere.
A few enthusiasts experimenting. Most people ignoring it. And the ROI you were promised? Nowhere to be seen.
The problem isn’t the technology. It’s that nobody taught your team how to use it – practically, safely, and in a way that actually fits their work.
This workshop fixes that. In a single day, your team goes from AI-curious to AI-confident – with techniques they’ll use the very next morning.

What's Included
Seven modules designed to build practical AI skills your team can use immediately.
Module 1: AI 101 - What You Actually Need to Know
Cut through the jargon and hype. We demystify AI with a simple mental model that clicks instantly, then map the landscape so you understand what is actually possible (and what is marketing fluff). You will leave knowing exactly where your team fits in the AI picture.
So what? You do not need to be a data scientist. But understanding the landscape helps you pick the right tool and have informed conversations.
Module 2: Generative AI in Action
See what is actually possible, live. We demonstrate the five core capabilities that matter for business, with real examples from your industry. By the end, you will understand why one skill unlocks everything else.
So what? One skill (prompting) unlocks five capabilities. Master this, master them all.
Module 3: Data Safety First
Before you touch a prompt, you need to know what never goes into AI – and why. We cover the frameworks that protect you, your clients, and your business. This is the module that prevents expensive mistakes.
So what? Protect yourself, your clients, your business. This is non-negotiable before we start prompting.
Module 4: Crafting Effective Prompts
Why do some people get amazing results while others get generic nonsense? The difference is technique. We teach the approaches that consistently produce quality outputs, including one cheat code that transforms how you work with AI.
So what? Stop getting generic outputs. These techniques are the difference between meh and wow that is actually useful.
Module 5: Hands-On - Your Real Work
Theory is over. Now we apply everything to the tasks your team actually does: emails, documents, research, meeting prep. You will build templates you can reuse immediately. This is where the workshop pays for itself.
So what? You leave today with tools you will use Monday morning.
Module 6: Beyond Text + Staying Safe
Expand into images, data analysis, and simple code but with your eyes open. We cover where AI gets it wrong, how to catch mistakes, and the biases you need to watch for (including your own). Power with guardrails.
So what? Expand your capabilities while knowing where the edges are. AI is powerful and imperfect.
Module 7: AI as a Team Sport
Individual productivity gains are good. Team-wide transformation is 10x better. We cover how to share what works, when AI outputs need human review (with a cautionary case study you will remember), and how to build a culture that keeps improving.
So what? Individual productivity is good. Team-wide transformation is 10x better.
Why This Workshop? Why Now?
The productivity gap between AI-capable teams and everyone else is widening every month.
Immediate ROI
Participants apply what they learn within 24 hours. No theory that gathers dust – just practical techniques that save time from day one.
Team-Wide Adoption
Training the whole team together creates shared language, shared practices, and the peer support that makes new habits stick.
Risk Reduction
Your team learns what NOT to do before they learn what to do. Data safety and output verification become second nature.
Future-Proofing
AI tools change monthly. The principles we teach – prompting, iteration, verification – work across any tool, any update.

The gap between AI-capable teams and everyone else is widening every month. Businesses investing in AI skills today are the ones setting the pace tomorrow. The window to catch up is closing.
Is This Right for Your Team?
This is for you if...
- You are a professional services firm - accounting, legal, consulting, marketing - where time is literally money
- Your team spends hours on emails, reports, research, and documentation that AI could accelerate
- You are in healthcare administration or construction management drowning in paperwork
- You want your team to work smarter together, not just individually
- You value practical skills over theory - tools they will use Monday morning
This is NOT for you if...
- Your team has zero tolerance for trial and error - AI requires experimentation
- You are looking for a set and forget solution - effective AI use is an ongoing skill
- You expect AI to replace human judgement - it amplifies your team, it does not replace them
Frequently Asked Questions
What AI tools do participants need access to?
Participants need access to at least one generative AI tool — ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, or Gemini all work well. Free versions are fine for the workshop; paid versions offer more features but aren’t required. We’ll discuss which tools work best for your team’s needs during the session.
What if some team members are more tech-savvy than others?
The workshop is designed to meet people where they are. Beginners get solid foundations; experienced users learn advanced techniques they’ve likely missed. The hands-on exercises allow everyone to work at their own pace, and mixed-skill groups often produce the best discussions and peer learning.
Will this work for our specific industry?
Yes. The principles of effective AI use — prompting, iteration, verification — apply across industries. During the hands-on modules, participants work on their actual tasks, so the applications are immediately relevant.
What happens before the workshop?
We start with a 60-minute sponsor briefing where I learn about your team, your challenges, and your goals. This helps me tailor examples and exercises to your context. Then, participants complete a short online pre-workshop survey so I understand their current AI experience and specific pain points.
Content customisation is available as an add-on.
What do participants receive?
Every participant receives:
- A printed workbook for notes and exercises during the session
- A digital fillable version they can continue using after the workshop
- A certificate of completion
What happens after the workshop?
Participants complete a short post-workshop survey covering both their learnings and their satisfaction with the session. Then, I compile the insights into a brief report for you as the sponsor, which we review together in a 45-minute debrief meeting. This helps you understand what landed, what your team is excited about, and where they might need further support.
What's the investment?
Workshop fees start at $6,000 + GST for teams up to 15 participants, with pricing adjusted for larger groups, travel requirements, and content customisation. To put that in perspective: if a team of 8 each saves just 2 hours per week, the workshop pays for itself within two months.
