Your GRADUATION Story
"I developed secondary traumatic stress while living and serving the indigenous people of Northern, AK. I was able to find my own personal cure and it made such a huge, dramatic difference in my life, I knew I needed to share it with others. My problem at the time, was I had absolutely no idea how to get my message out to others. I have zero experience in marketing and/or sales, and I am pretty shy talking with people I don't know.
I actually signed up for EPM during their 2022 cohort; however because of a major death in my family at the same time, I was unable to continue. The people at EPM were so generous and kind, they allowed me to postpone my enrollment until this 2023 cohort and I didn't lose a penny of the money I had paid them. When this year's cohort was about to begin, I was seamlessly enrolled in EPM and the rest as they say is history.
Although I wouldn't wish the loss of a spouse (or other major loved one) on anyone, the one blessing in disguise was that this year I was much more prepared and ready to commit than I was in 2022. From learning about niche's to learning step by step how to develop and create an experience product, all the way through to pricing, chatterboxing, and getting it done, my EPM Coach #CoachJenn was by my side with encouragement and continued support.
Fast forward from October when this experience began to now in December, I actually had the courage to speak with an administrator in my district over instruction and curriculum and I was hired to present my 6-week training program to 10 educators in my district. I was told, depending on the feedback after the 6 weeks, there may be more opportunities to deliver this training on a regular basis. This was board approved and I can't tell you or describe how happy, excited, and nervous (frankly scared to death) I am.
Here's to helping individuals navigate their way through compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and/or secondary traumatic stress as they rebuild their resilience."
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
My Mission Accomplished story is the same as my graduation story. I think I combined the two.
Your FIRST SALE Story
After completing the setup of my modules and their sessions, I decided to "start where I live". I knew my school district hires individuals to present professional development trainings, and I thought to myself, why can't or wouldn't they hire me? I made an appointment with the instruction and curriculum director and gave my product origin story, my hope for all of our educators, and went through my blueprint on how I can help rebuild resilience through my resilience reboot masterclass within 6 weeks. I'm not a marketer or sales person; however, I received a YES!!! I am teaching live 10 educators in my district by delivering my course live within the next 6 weeks.
