Four ways to get fluent in Claude.

Pick one, or string a few together. Sessions are practical, focused, and scoped to your business — no theory dumps.

SKILL

Learn how to build a Claude Skill

Turn a repeatable task like onboarding, proposals or weekly reports into a reusable ClaudeSkill that runs on demand. We design it, build it and use it together.

PROJECT

Learn how to build a Claude Project

Set up a shared workspace where Claude already knows your business: brand voice, files, customers, the way you write. One Project, every team member, less re-explaining.

CHAT

Learn how to use Claude Chat

The fundamentals, taught the right way. Prompting that actually works, mental models for context, when to start fresh and the tiny habits that compound over a month.

COWORK

Learn how to use Claude Cowork

Claude Cowork is where Claude builds with you: docs, folders and files. We'll spend a session learning how to let Cowork organize and analyze your computer.

A simple, 1:1 coaching call

No course, no homework, no fluff. Show up, learn the thing, use it that day.

STEP 1

1

Book a call

Tell me what you're trying to learn. We'll scope a session that matches: Skill, Project, Chat or Cowork.

STEP 2

2

Work together, live

60 minutes on Zoom, screen shared. You learn Claude for something real from your business, not a demo.

STEP 3

3

Leave with power

You walk out with the power to use Claude for yourself: a working Claude Skill, a set-up Claude Project, a cleaned up computer.

One hour. Real Claude power. No fluff.

On this 1:1 coaching call, we'll work on whichever of the four matches what you actually need:

And yes, you keep the recording

Quick answers

A few things people ask before booking.

I'm not technical, is this for me?

Yes. That's the whole point. Most clients are owners and operators, not developers. We work in plain language and you'll learn practical things you'll actually re-use.

Yes. A paid Claude plan is necessary for Projects and Cowork. No paid plan to just learn how to chat correctly with Claude.

Short version: a Skill is a repeatable task ("write our weekly report"). A Project when Claude stores files for context ("everything about our business") it can reference each time. We'll cover both if you want.

1 hour.

Nope. The work is up to you. I teach you how, you put it to use.

Real questions, real answers

Hi, I'm Patrick Cornell.

Founder of Cornell Design Group. For the last 16 years I've built websites and now AI tools for small businesses, mostly the kind run by one or two people who wear every hat.

I started Claude coaching because the same conversation kept happening: owners knew Claude was a big deal, didn't know where to start and didn't have time for a 6-week course. So this is the opposite of that. It's 1:1 live coaching. You get every question answered in real time by me.

Built with Claude daily

I use Skills, Projects Chat and Cowork to run Cornell Design Group, not just teach them.

Small-business native

No enterprise jargon. Coaching is shaped for owners who do the work themselves.

Plain-language teacher

If you can describe what you're trying to learn, I can walk you through doing it.

Outcome over theory

Every session ends with you gaining the power to use Claude on your own.

Sell you a course. Hand you 50 prompt templates. Pretend Claude can replace your judgment. Coaching is one call, one outcome, in plain English.
