Minutes 30 to 70: BuildPrompts and templates written live for the tasks that actually fill your week. You leave with them saved and working.

Questions people ask

I bought a voucher through Groupon. What do I do?
Click the button for the option you purchased, pick a time, and enter your Groupon voucher code when Calendly asks for it. You will get the Zoom link by email once your booking is confirmed. Vouchers are valid for the session type purchased.
Do I need any technical background?
No. Every session is built for people who run a business, a practice, a desk or a team, not for engineers. If you can send an email, you can do this.
Which tools do you cover?
ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. You will learn what each one does best and which one to use for which task, so you stop paying for three and using none.
Is this for regulated industries?
Yes. Chris's consulting work is with law firms, financial advisories and other regulated businesses, so the client-data guardrails are part of every session, not an afterthought.
What if I need more than one session?
The Executive session is the usual starting point for leaders who want ongoing help. From there, most continue into the Clarity Sprint, a three-week engagement that finds the revenue your current systems are losing and puts a price and a date on fixing it.
