What People Are Saying

Discover how this course is transforming the way engagement professionals use AI to create meaningful connections.

”
I bought this course for our Life Enrichment Director because I kept hearing about AI and honestly didn’t know where to start. What I appreciated most is that this course didn’t feel technical or intimidating. It helped our engagement team think more creatively and work more efficiently without losing the heart of what they do. I’ve seen better ideas, better communication, and a noticeable boost in confidence.
Larry W.

Executive Director - Portland, OR

”
We purchased this course for several of our communities, and the experience level of our Life Enrichment Directors really varied. Some were brand new, others had been doing this for years. This course worked for all of them. It gave our newer directors solid training and helped our more experienced team members see new possibilities. It’s practical, easy to follow, and actually useful—not just theory.
Anna W.

Owner - Vancouver, WA

”
I bought this course for myself because I wanted to understand AI but didn’t want something complicated or overwhelming. This course made it feel approachable and even fun. I’m using what I learned almost every day, and it’s helping me save time and come up with better ideas. I feel more confident and more prepared for what’s coming next in our industry.
Jessica L.

Life Enrichment Director - Brentwood, TN

”
I didn’t think AI had much to do with engagement work before this course. Now I see how helpful it can be. The examples were easy to understand, and the way Kevin explains things just makes sense. I’ve already used AI to freshen up our programming and get unstuck creatively. It’s made my job easier and more enjoyable.”
