Workshops · Single Sessions, Real Skills
Try building with AI before you commit six weeks to it.
One session, one skill, hands on keyboards — afternoons, evenings, or on-site with your group. Some workshops are free. Every one of them sends you home with something you built.
Upcoming Workshops
Nov 12
Thu · 6–8 pm ET · Zoom
Objection Handling: How to Answer "It's Too Expensive," "Bad Timing," and "I Need to Think About It"$397
Learn what your buyers' objections usually mean, a calm three-step way to answer them, and how to turn "let me think about it" into a real decision. Leave with the start of your own objection playbook, practiced out loud.
Nov 18
Wed · 9 am–12:30 pm ET · Zoom
How to Set Up AI for More Consistent, Usable Work$597
If AI sounds generic, or you re-explain your business every time you open it, this is the fix. Learn to set up the business context, voice standards, and reusable instructions that make AI faster and more like you, and leave with first versions of your own context file and voice profile plus the full template set. Beginners are welcome.

From Idea to Working Product: Build With AI in Half a Day$599
Bring an idea for a tool, app, or internal workflow. In one hands-on half day you will mock it up with Claude Design, turn the mockup into a working product with Claude Code, and put it live at a real URL. No coding experience needed. Leave with something you built and the AI-first workflow to build the next one.
Dec 4
Fri · 9 am–12:30 pm ET · Zoom
Understanding How Prospects Decide to Buy & Why Deals Go Quiet$597
Learn the four things every buyer needs before saying yes, the three stages they move through, and how to spot where your deals stall. Leave with a map of how your customers decide and a short list of changes to try right away.
Summit attendees: use code FORGE100 for $100 off. It works at checkout for the Nov 19 product-building workshop, and through Sunday, November 1 on any of the Nov 12, Nov 18, and Dec 4 classes or the all-three pass ($1,297). Those three classes run live on Zoom with 30 seats and register at kelseybartley.com.

Want a Workshop for Your Organization?
We build customized workshops for teams and groups — at your site or ours, on your schedule.
What a Workshop Looks Like
No slides-only lectures. You build the whole time, with an instructor in the room and nobody left behind. We run afternoon and evening sessions — and customized on-site workshops for organizations.
Hands On
You leave having built something real, not having watched someone else build it.
Beginner Safe
No coding experience needed for any workshop. Bring a laptop, that is all.
Small Rooms
Capped attendance so you can always ask, always get unstuck.
Some Are Free
Free intro sessions run regularly. Paid deep-dives go further, and organizations can book a customized workshop.
