## Courses
- [Business Essentials](https://belithe.com/courses/business-essentials): Business Essentials turns business from confusing to readable. In six hours across three self-paced modules, you learn to look at any company — including your own — and understand what it is trying to do, whether its strategy holds up, and what its numbers are saying. Module 1 covers business fundamentals: goals, stakeholders, and how a company actually creates value. Module 2 covers strategy, running a gap analysis with SWOT, PESTEL, and SMART goals. Module 3 covers finance — reading statements, understanding margins, and checking liquidity. Each module includes an AI tool: Business Acumen Coach, Strategy Sounding Board, and Business Snapshot Evaluator. One running case study threads through everything. Riverstone Coffee, a small roaster and café, shows every idea in action before you apply it to your own business, so nothing stays abstract. The capstone pulls all three modules into a one-page Business Snapshot. Reach a READY verdict and you earn the AI-Powered Business Essentials badge plus a Certificate of Completion. Built for beginners and written in plain language from start to finish. You use AI as your analyst for the fast mechanical work, and you keep the judgment calls that only a person can make about what happens next.
- [Data Analysis Essentials](https://belithe.com/courses/data-analysis-essentials): Most people do not need to become data scientists. They need to answer a question with data and be right. Data Analysis Essentials teaches the full workflow — scope, clean, analyze, visualize, share — with an AI tool supporting every step. Six self-paced modules move in the order real analysis happens. Module 1 orients you and builds your learning path. Module 2 sets up a data project properly, starting with an objective sharp enough to answer. Module 3 covers the unglamorous majority of the job: cleaning and combining messy data from different sources. Module 4 works through core analyses and calculations. Module 5 turns findings into summaries, charts, and dashboards people actually read. Module 6 closes with data integrity, ethics, and how to share results responsibly. Each module includes a purpose-built AI tool — Learning Path Planner, Analysis Objective Builder, Data Cleaning Copilot, Formula Builder, Chart and Dashboard Advisor, and a Capstone Evaluator that scores your final work — plus a knowledge check and workbook reflection. You get the full Course Book, Workbook, and glossary. AI handles the mechanical work of cleaning, calculating, and charting. You keep the judgment about what the numbers actually mean and which decision they support.
- [Design Thinking with AI](https://belithe.com/courses/design-thinking-with-ai): Design thinking works because it starts with people, not solutions. Design Thinking with AI teaches you the full five-stage method — empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test — and pairs each stage with an AI tool that removes the busywork without removing your judgment. Six self-paced modules build one skill at a time. You start by framing a real design challenge, then move into empathy research and synthesis. Module 3 turns raw research into sharp point-of-view statements and personas. Module 4 opens the idea space with structured brainstorming and the Six Thinking Hats method. Module 5 maps the customer journey end to end. Module 6 gets you to a prototype you can put in front of real users. Every module includes a purpose-built AI tool — Design Challenge Framer, Empathy Synthesizer, POV and Persona Builder, Ideation Amplifier, Journey Mapper, and Design Playbook Evaluator — plus a knowledge check and a workbook reflection that keeps the learning tied to your own work. You get the complete Course Book and Learner Workbook, so you can work through the material alone at your own pace. No design background required. You finish with a documented design playbook you can run again on your next problem.
- [Your Reason for Being](https://belithe.com/courses/your-reason-for-being): Your Reason for Being is a two-hour standalone class built on ikigai, a Japanese word meaning roughly “a reason for being.” Most people don't have a purpose problem — they have a sorting problem, because what they love, what they're good at, what pays, and what the world needs live in four separate parts of their head and never get compared side by side. One session puts all four on a single page. You'll answer the four core questions with eight or more items each, mark where they repeat — the strongest signal the method produces — and use that overlap to name your zone: Passion, Mission, Profession, or Vocation. From there you pick the Ikigai Path that matches where you're standing (Starting Out, Testing an Idea, or Current Situation) and turn it into a dated Action Steps Plan. Two AI Tools support the work. AI-1: Ikigai Discovery Guide sorts your messy lists into grouped themes and overlap candidates and asks the follow-up questions you might not think to ask yourself. AI-2: Ikigai Capstone Evaluator checks your finished Ikigai Map and Action Steps Plan and returns a badge readiness verdict. Finish the class and you'll have two pages: a completed Ikigai Map with your own answers in all four circles, and an Action Steps Plan you can start this week. Reach a READY verdict and you earn the Purpose Finder badge. Written in plain language throughout, with one running idea: AI is not replacing you here. It sorts the raw material fast so you can spend your time on the judgment calls only you can make.
- [AI Agent Essentials](https://belithe.com/courses/ai-agent-essentials): You've heard a lot about AI agents. Maybe you've even seen one in action — an AI that books meetings, processes invoices, or drafts follow-ups without anyone clicking a button. It looks impressive. And a little unsettling. Here's the thing nobody tells you: the people who get the most out of AI agents aren't the ones who hand everything over to the technology. They're the ones who understand exactly what the agent is doing — and know how to keep it in their control. That's what this class is for. In four sessions, you'll go from "I've heard of agents" to designing a real one. You'll learn how AI agents actually work — the six components, the three levels, the difference between an agent that amplifies your judgment and one that quietly substitutes for it. You'll design the instruction set that governs your agent's behavior, set the permission boundaries that limit its blast radius, and build the safety architecture that keeps a human in the loop at the moments that count. And you'll do it with a real workflow from your own work. Not a hypothetical. Not a textbook example. Your work. By the end of Session 4, you'll submit a complete Agent Design Plan to your AI capstone evaluator — a five-component document specific enough to implement, review, or hand to a developer. Pass the badge rubric and you earn the AI Agent Essential Badge. What you'll build: A workflow map with goal, steps, and human review gate A three-layer instruction architecture with system prompt and memory plan A permission scope table and guardrail design A full Agent Design Plan — your professional governance document for AI deployment Who this is for: Working professionals ready to move beyond using AI tools to governing them. No coding required. Experience with AI assistants helpful. AI is not replacing you. It's amplifying you. This class is where that stops being a slogan and starts being a skill.
- [What Is an API?](https://belithe.com/courses/what-is-an-api): Every AI tool you use runs on APIs. When ChatGPT reads your files, when your calendar opens a Zoom link, when your CRM pings you in Slack, that's an API doing the work. Most people never learn how that works. So the minute a tool doesn't do exactly what they want, they're stuck. What Is an API? fixes that. In four hours across two self-paced sessions, you'll build a clear mental model of how apps talk to each other, and then you'll build something real. No coding required. Session 1 gives you the mental model. You'll learn how the client-server model works, what REST, SOAP, WebSocket, and GraphQL actually mean, the vocabulary you'll see in every tool's settings page, and the security basics that keep your data safe. The API Concept Explorer, an AI Tool built for this class, is there any time you want to dig deeper. Session 2 puts it to work. You'll see how AI tools use APIs behind the scenes, learn six ways to use AI as your guide when you get stuck, pick a no-code automation platform, and build a working automation that connects two real apps. That automation is your capstone. Describe it to the API Capstone Evaluator, get a READY verdict, and earn your badge. This class is built for beginners: managers, small business owners, career changers, and anyone who uses AI tools and is tired of guessing how they connect. If you can use a web browser, you're ready. You won't leave with a pile of notes. You'll leave with an automation that's already saving you time, and the confidence to look at any tool and know what's possible. Enroll now and build your first one this week.
- [AI for Sales Essentials](https://belithe.com/courses/ai-for-sales-essentials): Selling has always been part conversation, part paperwork. AI for Sales Essentials moves the paperwork off your plate and gives the hours back to the conversations that close deals. Six sessions, twelve hours, following the pipeline in order. Session 1 covers AI basics and prompt fundamentals — the skill everything else depends on. Session 2 turns AI into a research engine for account and buyer intelligence. Session 3 handles prospecting and outreach that reads like a person wrote it. Session 4 prepares you for meetings and sharpens discovery questions. Session 5 builds proposals and works through objection handling. Session 6 turns everything you have learned into a personal AI sales playbook and coaching loop. Six purpose-built AI tools ship with the course: Prompt Builder, Research Builder, Outreach Writer, Meeting Prep Assistant, Proposal Builder, and Playbook Builder. Every session adds a knowledge check and a workbook reflection tied to your live pipeline. The course runs on beLithe's V.I.B.E. learning framework and includes the dedicated V.I.B.E. Guide, the full Course Book, and the Learner Workbook. It is fully self-paced, and the wrap-up maps out exactly what to do across your next seven days. AI is not replacing sellers. It is amplifying them.
- [Project Management Essentials](https://belithe.com/courses/project-management-essentials): Plenty of people run projects without ever being trained to. Project Management Essentials gives you the full lifecycle in five modules, with an AI tool doing the documentation work at every stage so you can focus on the decisions. Module 1 introduces project management and teaches you to recognize when work actually is a project — and when treating it like one is overkill. Module 2 covers initiating: scope, stakeholders, and a charter that prevents the arguments you would otherwise have in week six. Module 3 builds the plan — tasks, sequence, schedule, risks. Module 4 handles execution, where plans meet reality and coordination becomes the job. Module 5 covers monitoring and closing, including the closeout most teams skip and later regret. Five AI tools carry the paperwork: Project Spotter, Charter Drafter, Plan Builder, Execution Coach, and Project Closeout Evaluator. Each module includes a knowledge check and a workbook reflection applied to a project you are actually running. You get the complete Course Book, Learner Workbook, and a glossary. It is self-paced and written in plain language. You finish with real artifacts you can reuse later — a charter, a plan, a closeout report — not just a new vocabulary.
- [Map It Before You Move It](https://belithe.com/courses/map-it-before-you-move-it): Before you automate, improve, or hand off a single thing — see your business as it actually works. Most improvement efforts fail because they optimize the process someone described in a meeting, not the one people actually run on a Tuesday afternoon. Map It Before You Move It fixes that in four working sessions, about eight hours total. Session 1 makes the case for why the owner has to see the process personally and cannot delegate that first look. Session 2 gives you interview and observation techniques for discovering what actually happens, gaps and workarounds included. Session 3 teaches a mapping notation simple enough that you will actually keep using it. Session 4 pulls everything into a complete process inventory of your business. Four AI tools carry the load: Process Discovery Interviewer, Process Map Drafter, Pain Point Surfacer, and Process Inventory Builder. Each session adds a graded knowledge check and a workbook reflection tied to your own operation. You get the complete Course Book, the Learner Workbook, and a full glossary. You finish holding real maps of real processes — the asset every automation project, every new hire, and every improvement effort should have started with in the first place.
- [AI for Marketing Essentials](https://belithe.com/courses/ai-for-marketing-essentials): Turn the work that eats half your week into a few guided minutes — and spend the time you win back on strategy, story, and growth. AI for Marketing Essentials is the most complete course in the catalog: seven sessions, fourteen hours, covering the full marketing function. Session 1 builds the prompting fundamentals everything else rests on. Session 2 turns research into buyer segmentation and keyword extraction. Session 3 covers ideation and copywriting: competitor analysis, idea scoring, brand voice, and calendar planning. Session 4 handles visual media — creative briefs, AI video scripting, commercial rights, and personalization by segment. Session 5 designs campaigns, A/B tests, and the analytics workflow behind them. Session 6 covers discoverability: SEO auditing, generative engine optimization, topical authority, and platform repurposing. Session 7 is the one most programs omit — optimizing and governing AI use, with a prompt library, repeatability framework, claim auditing, and a written governance policy. Seven AI tools run through it, PX-1 through PX-7, from the Prompt Architect to the AI Governance Auditor. Every session adds a knowledge check, and a capstone kit template pulls the whole build together. You finish with a working AI marketing system, not a folder of one-off experiments.
- [How to Use AI for Smarter Research & Creative Ideas](https://belithe.com/courses/how-to-use-ai-for-smarter-research-creative-ideas): AI can find you an answer in seconds. It can also hand you a confident, polished answer that's wrong. This self-paced class gives you a system for using AI to research faster, think more clearly, and create content that isn't generic — without putting your name on things you haven't checked. You carry one real topic through four Modules: a verified research brief, insight statements, one sharp content idea, and a first draft. You finish with your own Research-to-Content Playbook, checked by an AI Capstone Evaluator, and the AI Research & Ideation Practitioner badge.
