Lesson 3 of 5 in For team leads: roll out AI
Run a 30-minute team AI workshop
Emailing a policy doesn't change behavior. 30 minutes of hands-on practice does. One workshop creates believers.
Do this
Use the AI to plan a 30-minute workshop. Then run it with your team using the real AI tool you chose.
Try it now
Copy this prompt and describe your team:
>Plan a 30-minute team workshop on using AI for [team's main task]. The goal: everyone sends one AI-generated draft before they leave the room. Format: 5 min intro, 10 min demo (I show how), 10 min practice (they try it), 5 min share (best and worst results). Include 3 example prompts the team can use immediately. Keep it practical — no theory.
Check yourself
Do you have a 30-minute plan? Did you include real prompts your team can use today? Is there a moment where everyone tries it?
What just happened
Workshops work when they're hands-on, not lectures. The 30-minute format respects busy schedules. The key insight: everyone should leave having USED the tool, not just heard about it. Belief follows action, not the other way around.
