Your GRADUATION Story
I had the idea for this program in my head for a few years and even took another course on how to do course that I gave up on early. I was still lost and honestly doing and focusing on the right things and the wrong times until I was faced with overwhelm and putting the idea back on the shelf. I joined EPM and never looked back. Marisa's clear, step-by-step training left no room for me to talk myself out of it. Everything, and I mean everything, was there for me. I rode through the discomfort of taking imperfect action, a little every day facing my own personal demons along the way and made it to graduation. What a great feeling. I am already looking forward to the next version of what I have created. Marisa's coaching along with my personal coach Jack were more than enough to walk me over the finish line and I am forever grateful.
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
I learned the power of personal connections by just reaching out and talking to humans. I realized how little of that I had been doing. This not only led me towards my first sales but re ingnited alot of old friendships along the way. A win win.
Your FIRST SALE Story
My first sale came from individuals who new of my work. I joined EPM and realized I needed a plan and did not have a clue on what it would look like and EPM helped me to begin mapping it all out.
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
My first sale gave me a little more confidence and signed up three others in one day after that initial sale. I listened to each teacher that I talked to and used what they had to say, ideas, concerns, pain points etc in my next conversations. These live discussions taught me everything that I needed to know going into my next calls. I learned the immense power of chatterboxing here.
Your MADE A WHOLE LOT MORE Story
I had this big idea that we were telling educators about the importance of creating trauma-informed learning environments but we were not sharing the specifics of how to do it. I wan't sure what to do to create an organized method that included specific approaches toward the solution. I joined EPM and the plan began to come in view. I figured out the areas to include and specific approaches, the pace, my options for LIVE or recorded, I especially learned the mission and continually worked from my mission when I felt stuck. I mapped out the 4 month process and well sold my program to a school. With 3 more schools ready to began. A a new school district in my voicemail waiting to hear from me. This came after my presentation to over 200 people at a symposium where I practiced my chatterboxing skills. While in EPM, I began implementing some of the pieces of what is now the Educator's Trauma-Informed Blueprint.This program was born from my 2015 phenomenological research study, Recently, I caught the ear of the California Surgeon General's Office. I joined their Expert Advisory Panel and began a contract to present about trauma-informed practices and include information about their Safe Spaces 2j-hour online training. It is a good year and EPM definitely helped me to the point of "Made a Whole Lot More"!
Well, the biggest change in my business is I have a new focus and a Strategic Plan is in place with a distinct purpose. Using my product roadmap, I can be focused on achieve what is written on my new roadmap. My 5-semester retirement is so clear! I have a program that I can spend that retirement time implementing and I can still travel and take beautiful naps. My biggest takeaway is that with amazing coaching I can do truly amazing things. Definitely what is possible for me is to truly live my passion of facilitating transformations and not just teaching them, but assist with change that others can also see for themselves. I can RETIRE from the college space soon.
Coach Lucas was so amazing. I could feel that he understood my vision. I am proud to be an EPM Graduate to the second power! My first EPM laid the foundation for a module in this new product. I was also, so very honored to have been coached by Coach Emily for my first EPM and Coach Lucas for the second. A wonderful team!
