Open Claude Desktop

Launch the Claude desktop app (Cowork mode). If you don't have it, download it here (opens in a new tab).

Select the Course Folder

When Claude asks, point it at the course folder you downloaded. Claude will be able to see all the files.

Start Learning

Just say "start lesson 1.1" and Claude will teach you interactively. Learn by doing real tasks, not watching videos.


Choose Your Adventure

When you start the course, Claude will ask about your work and recommend the best scenario for you. All scenarios teach the same skills — pick whichever sounds most interesting!

You are: The new coordinator at Brightmoor Community Hub

The situation: The previous coordinator quit mid-way through planning the summer festival. Vendor contracts are a mess, the budget doesn't add up, and sponsors are getting angry.

Best for: Event planners, admins, coordinators, anyone who juggles logistics

Through any scenario, you'll analyze chaos, discover insights, find solutions, and create professional deliverables — skills you'll use every day.


Prerequisites

⚠️

You'll need a Claude Pro or Max subscription to use Claude Cowork with the desktop app.

When You Need More Than a Course

This course teaches the patterns. But your business has unique workflows.

You might be thinking:

  • "I wish I could automate how we handle [that tedious process]"
  • "My team needs to learn this, but I don't have time to train them"
  • "I see the potential, but I need help building something custom"

That's exactly when to reach out.

What Working Together Looks Like

Discovery Call

15 minutes to understand your workflows and identify automation opportunities

Custom Design

I design AI workflows specific to your processes, not generic templates

Build & Train

Implementation plus team training so everyone can use it confidently

Typical results: Clients save 10+ hours per week on repetitive tasks. Teams go from "I don't get AI" to using it daily within a month.

No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation about what's possible for your business.
