The Best Way to Learn Is to Teach
Today’s exercise is different: you’re going to sit with a teammate and walk them through one of the workflows you’ve learned. This is the most effective way to solidify your own skills, identify gaps in the playbook, and start building organizational momentum.
Choose Your Pairing Session
Pick the format that fits your teammate’s role:
For a Writer / Reporter
Show them: Title Suggestions + Excerpt Generation + Content Multiplication
- Open one of their recent drafts
- Run Title Suggestions and compare alternatives together
- Generate a meta description and social posts from their article
- Let them try a prompt themselves — “make me a Twitter thread from this article”
For an Editor
Show them: The 15-Minute Sprint + Newsletter Drafting
- Run the daily standup prompt live, using your actual site data
- Generate a newsletter draft together
- Iterate on the draft: “make the opening punchier” / “lead with this story instead”
- Show the SEO gap analysis — “here’s what we missed this week”
For a Product / Tech Person
Show them: Studio Code + MCP + Abilities API
- Spin up a local site with Studio CLI
- Connect Claude via MCP
- Run a performance audit
- Show the Abilities API endpoint and discuss custom abilities for your site
Pairing Tips
- Use their real content — demos with fake data don’t stick. Use actual articles, actual analytics, actual workflows.
- Let them drive — After showing the first example, hand over the keyboard. Let them type the prompt and iterate.
- Note the questions — Every question they ask is a gap in your playbook. Write them down.
- End with a win — Make sure they leave with one thing that saved them time today.
✅ Key Takeaway: Teaching a colleague is the fastest way to scale AI adoption. One pairing session creates a second advocate. Do this twice, and you have four people who can demonstrate the value to the rest of the team.
