"I began this journey filled with determination, hope, and fear. Fear, as usual, took precedence the further I advanced into mapping out my product. I felt like an imposter in a world that I had been part of for more than 20 years. I joined EPM and that's when I found an amazing breakthrough - a series of steps to follow that made sense, and a coach who was knowledgeable and able to pull me back on path, encouraging me every step of the way.
Thanks to Marissa, Coach Jennifer, and the coaching sessions throughout the week, I learned how to talk about my nonprofit fundraising communications coaching in a way that was first of all comfortable to me, and second, that shared a clear benefit to potential students. I took action by staying on target to complete the course, and then returning to the areas where I felt weak - especially chatterboxing and pivots. I've ended up with confidence that I really do have the ability to help nonprofit professionals in this area, and I am excited to begin the conversations that will lead to course delivery."
