A Board Director Institute course

Claude Skills for Boardroom Prep

Be the best-prepared director in the room, every meeting.

Watch Lesson 1 free: what you'll build, and how the course works.

You Have the Skills. This Course Shows You How to Use Them.

You watch one real board decision get built in Claude, prompt by prompt: what to type, how to answer Claude's questions, and how to fix what comes back. Once for a company board, once for a nonprofit board.

From a 90-page packet nobody reads → to a one-page ask the board can vote on.
From an agenda full of updates → to an agenda that ends in decisions.
From rough notes after the meeting → to clean minutes and action items the same day.

Questions

I'm not technical. Can I do this?

Yes. The setup lessons walk you through it, and it takes about 5 minutes. After that, you ask Claude in plain words.

How long is it?

26 short lessons, about 75 minutes in total, at your own pace.

Do I need a paid Claude plan?

No. The skills work on Claude's free plan. Longer jobs, like a whole board packet, run more smoothly on a paid plan.

Is the certificate an official credential?

It's a Certificate of Completion from Board Director Institute. It shows you finished the lessons and passed the quiz. It isn't a licence or a professional designation.

Can I use this with my real board papers?

Only in an AI tool your organization has approved. The course has you practise on the made-up examples first.
