Testimonials

What Clients Learners Say

“I manage 16 concurrent projects across infrastructure, compliance, and system integrations — largely on my own. I was already using AI tools, but without structure. The knowledge never carried over and the effort stayed fragmented. Larry's programme changed that."

Sabino Moreira

DX Lead, Pinto Lopes Viagens

"Really enjoyed these sessions. Learned lots ... and some really helpful tips that I can use in my everyday work"

Ann-marie Roche

Course Participant

"Larry brings a high level of professionalism and intellectual robustness to everything he puts his attention to. He has worked with us on a number of development programmes in DCU, which were very well received. I highly recommend him.”

Larry Maguire

MSc. Org. Psych., BA (hons) Psych., M.Ps.S.I., M.A.C., R.Q.T.U.

I am a work and organisational psychologist, lecturer in psychology, and AI skills trainer. My business background extends 20 years in the electrical and electronic systems integration business and I have been teaching business people AI skills since 2023. I take a practical, people-first, hands-on approach to AI skills training rather than a theoretical and academic approach. You'll walk away from training with real every day AI skills.

FAQ section

Frequently Asked Questions

Common question about courses and training

Is this right for me if I've never used AI?

Yes, it's perfect for you. The workshop assumes no prior experience and starts with what this AI is and is not, then walks you through setup from the very beginning. If you've dabbled and given up, this is built precisely for you.

Do I need to be technically minded?

No. There's no coding, no jargon, and nothing to install beyond the Claude app itself and connectors etc within the app. If you can use email and a web browser, you can do everything in this workshop.

How long is the workshop?

The workshop is one full intensive day (09:00 to 17:00) and distills the modules from two courses which can access for free immediately when you register; Claude Foundations and Cowork For Business.

Will the workshop be recorded?

The workshop will not be recorded but you can view all lessons in much more detail in the two free full length asynchronous course that come with this workshop; Claude Foundations and Cowork for Business.

I've taken other AI courses, how is this different?

Most courses workshops teach you about AI, or they get too technical. This is an applied hands-on workshop and gets you set up and working on your own tasks, with your settings configured and a method you can repeat. It's honest about what Claude can't do and cautions you on possible implications of AI. This course is practical and hands-on and has been taken by over 1000 students with varying capabilities and technical experience from many different industries including pharmaceuticals, engineering, construction, retail, hospitality, and education.

We are already using Claude, will this course help?

If you are already using Claude in your organisation then this course will give you the structure you need to get the best from it safely. The most common problem in a small team is everyone using a different tool a different way with no standard. This course puts your team on the same setup with the same framework and methodology for working with AI.

Which Claude plan do I need to be on?

The workshop shows you how to choose the right plan, so you don't need to decide before you start. The lessons themselves work on any plan, including the free one, though you'll get more from this workshop on Pro or Max plan. If you have more than one person in your organisation then a teams plan is best. However, Team plan seats present an added layer of complexity due to organisation permission settings so Pro or Max is best.

What if I get stuck?

You're not on your own. You can email me directly, and you can message me through the learning platform's direct messaging. Ask a real question and you'll get a real answer. I also have a space here in the learning platform where you can engage with other learners on the same path.

Will AI do the work for me?

I'm afraid not. AI is remarkable, but it will not replace the need for human beings in the decision making process. This workshop offers a fast track for a functioning AI enabled workspace. If you want the repetitive workflows built and deployed for you, that's the Cowork Business OS, done-for-you directly. This workshop introduces framework and processes and helps you deploy the operating system.

What's your guarantee?

I guarantee that if you are open to a new way of working, curious and willing to experiment fully with this technology, and invest your time to learn the pros and cons, its strengths and weaknesses while retaining your decision-making, you will get good results from AI. The biggest mistake that can be made with AI deployment is thinking that this is a one shot solution - plug it in and it works. It doesn't unfortunately. It has the potential to save you time and human hours, but you must invest in yourself and your people for a period before you see the gains in productivity. This workshop gives you a fast track to get off the ground and up and running. The application of these principles is up to you.

What's your refund policy?

When you purchase this workshop, you get lifetime access to associated resources and courses including all future updates. You can review the material at your own pace, return to lessons and modules you skipped or where you need a refresher. If if you genuinely feel that you have made the wrong decision, email me within 48 of the event and I will give you a full refund. Bear in mind you'll lose access to Claude Foundations and Cowork for Business Courses that are included FOC with this workshop.
