I spent 18 years leading product and operations teams at global brands like Coach and BIC, and another six running my own nationally distributed specialty foods company. More recently I've transitioned to independent small business consulting, working with small to mid-size product companies and creative studios.

A familiar pattern shows up at every company I work with. Slow repetitive tasks take up valuable bandwidth: manual spreadsheet setups, data cleanup, file management, even meeting minutes. The kind of work that everyone wishes were automated but never justified the cost of a specialist developer, so the manual time bleed continues.

Then Claude Cowork landed, and the math changed overnight. The same operator who couldn't justify a developer could sit down with Claude and solve a long-running problem in an afternoon.

I started building. A bookkeeping workflow. An agent that finds nationwide RFPs for a graphic design firm. Materials research, project proposals, and creative workflows for a creative studio. AI-enabled lead generation and customer service tools for small businesses. A database for a new venture. This website. Projects that used to gobble up time and bandwidth, or require expensive specialists, were suddenly within reach.

Most senior leaders I talk to are using AI in a basic way. They ask questions in chat, get an answer, move on, and assume that's what "using AI" means. The real value sits beyond that, in workflows that integrate and accelerate the way everyday work gets done. As companies everywhere start to remake themselves around that shift, the gap between one-off use and building workflows will be the gap between keeping up and falling behind. Claude Intensive is for anyone who wants to cross it now.

Four sessions over four weeks, one on one. We build the program around your work.

Each session runs an hour. About an hour of practice between each, on real tasks from your week.

You walk away with:

• A fully configured Claude setup tailored to your job. Projects, instructions, reference docs.
• At least one repeatable workflow running on your real work by the end of the four weeks.
• The skills to keep building. Prompting, iterating, picking the right mode for the job.
• Enough fluency to explain your setup to your team and walk colleagues through how it works.

Option to continue with project-focused sessions after the four weeks.

Prerequisite: an active Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan. The free plan doesn't support the work we'll be doing.

Tell me about your role and what you're hoping to get out of the program. I will respond to schedule a 30-minute discovery call.
