Claude Skills Live Recap: How to Build Your First One in 10 Minutes (+8 Premium Skills to download)

The Claude feature that makes every response sound like your COO wrote it, not the average internet

Claude Skills are reusable context packs that teach Claude your business, voice, and preferences once, so you stop rewriting two-page prompts every time. This recap from the April 2026 live shows how to build a Claude Skill in 10 minutes, the five skills every business leader should build first, and a Claude skills Notion dashboard available to Leadership in Change premium members.


I ran a live session this week on Claude Skills and asked the room a simple question: who has actually used them? A few hands went up. Most hadn’t. That surprised me, because Claude Skills are the single biggest reason my AI output sounds like my business, and the single biggest reason most executives tell me, “Every AI answer looks the same.”

When you type a question into Claude or ChatGPT with zero context, the model scans the internet, compiles what it finds, and returns the most statistically average response. That average-internet answer is what most leaders are showing their teams and calling “AI output.” The setup is the difference. Skills are how you fix it once and move on.

This is the full recap of the live, timestamped, with the walkthrough, the examples, and the premium dashboard drop at the end.

I coach leaders through exactly this, and occasionally step in fractionally when an organization needs more hands-on help. A free intro call is the easiest place to start.
