Map and Activate Your LinkedIn Network with Claude [5/13/2026] (Recording)

You have hundreds of LinkedIn connections you've never done anything with. In this hands-on session, we'll turn your exported LinkedIn data into a working professional CRM in Notion — no automation tools, code, or technical setup required. Using a Claude prompt, we'll categorize your top contacts by relationship tier, industry, and relevance, then drop everything into a pre-built Notion template so you know exactly who to reach out to, when, and what to say. You'll also get a read on what content resonates with your specific network, which feeds directly into what we build in the next session. Pre-work: Request your LinkedIn connections export at least 24 hours before the session (Settings → Data Privacy → Get a copy of your data). LinkedIn emails it within 24 hours and it only takes 2 minutes to request. Outcome for attendees: A populated Notion CRM with their top LinkedIn contacts categorized into tiers, a suggested next action for each, and a content resonance analysis showing what topics will actually land with their network. Session pre-requisites: Claude account & Notion account — free is fine 🙂

3 AI Skills to Land your Job in ... the Biotech Industry

Some people assume biotech is purely science: pipettes, gene sequences, clinical trials. In practice, the industry runs on physical infrastructure as demanding as any in manufacturing. A diagnostic device that detects a cancer marker with enough reliability to inform a treatment decision. A surgical instrument precise enough to operate where a millimeter is the margin between success and failure. A monitoring system that tracks a patient's vital signs continuously, without interruption, for weeks. These are tangible products in the most consequential sense: the stakes attached to their performance are measured in human outcomes. I spent more than 10 years working with the biotech industry as a supplier, managing it as a strategic key account across multiple market segments. I understand what biotech and medtech companies require from their partners and their people; I also know which skills are shifting fast right now because of AI. This Tuesday session covers the biotech industry: one of the most regulated, most innovation-driven, and most purposeful sectors in the global economy. We will discuss three specific AI skills that are changing what hiring managers expect, and how you can demonstrate them before you walk into an interview. If you want a career where the tangible product you help bring to market can directly improve someone's life, this session is for you.
