Share Your Story: Reflect on Your Past and Write Your Future into Existence
Applying for jobs, launching a business, or aiming for publication? Your words have the power to open doors.
When you get clear on how your unique experience can be used to create the results you want, so many doors open up. Especially when working virtually, it’s important to be able to clearly communicate what you’ve learned in the classroom and what you believe about education.Â
But what if you aren’t sure what you bring to the table? (It happens to all of us!)
The first step is to write. By using writing as a reflection tool, we can get clear on how to tell our stories in compelling ways. And by getting feedback on our writing, we can bring our stories to life.Â
In many ways, your writing skills determine your opportunities and earning potential beyond the classroom.
Whether you want to work with an education organization, create copy for your own business, write grants, and/or get published in education publications, this program is for you.Â
