"For more than a decade, I helped numerous adult professionals develop their ability to feel comfortable and confident in personal and professional situations through Toastmasters International, a non-profit organization which helps people age 18 and up develop public speaking and leadership skills. I wanted to create an online course to help high school teens, age 15 - 17, struggling with low self-esteem, gain confidence by developing competent speaking skills and techniques. Minor detail, I wasn't sure how to proceed. Then, I joined the Experience Product Masterclass and learned that I could create the skeleton for a paper plane version of my online course and ""iterate my way to awesome""! Step by step I completed Module 1, on time, and received the requisite thumbs ups from my coach. Then, as the Module 2 sessions kept dropping, I got stuck formulating my credibility boosters and ultimately fell further and further behind. I planned to catch up over the holiday breaks but family and health issues intervened. Module 3 dropped and I was still stuck in Module 2. Finally, on January 15, with just over two weeks left to graduation, I became laser focused. From January 16 - 26, I submitted Milestones 5 - 16 to my coach and received a thumbs up for Milestone 5-15. On January 27th, I received the final thumbs up for Milestone 16 and completed my MVP track. Woo Hoo!
