About

GenAI Skills Academy is run by Larry G. Maguire, a writer and researcher working across psychology, organisational behaviour, performance coaching, and AI workplace integration.

The Academy exists because most AI training is either too theoretical or too technical. Professionals don't need a computer science degree to use AI effectively — they need practical, hands-on experience with the tools that are available right now.

Every workshop is built around doing, not watching. You'll build real things — documents, automations, web pages, workflows — and leave each session with something you can use immediately in your work.

The approach

• Practical over theoretical — every session produces a tangible output
• Tools you already have access to — no expensive subscriptions required
• Progressive complexity — start simple, build capability over time
• Real business applications — not toy examples or demos that don’t translate

Background

Larry's work spans two decades of research and practice in human performance, with a focus on the psychology of expertise, motivation, and how people do their best work. The AI focus is a natural extension — understanding how AI tools can amplify human capability rather than replace it.

He writes at humanperformance.ie and publishes research-backed content on the intersection of psychology, performance, and technology.
