My ideal Skillshare intro, lessons learned from studying three Skillshare classes

I scheduled for us to record our Skillshare class yesterday. While we were setting up, I realized I forgot to buy the lightning to 3.5mm jack connector for the lapel mic, so we had to reschedule. To make use of the time, we decided to practice filming, starting with

Learning visual note-taking with Verbal to Visual

I was talking to a fellow course creator about the Skillshare course [https://www.chiaracokieng.com/gen-propel-skillshare-course-intro/] we're creating. He mentioned that including simple illustrations work super well for him. The ideas are more 'sticky' for students. I'm in love with words. I love

Project 100 origin story

If we talk regularly, I will at some point mention "Project 100." For example, I allude to it in Gen Propel [https://genpropel.com/course/]'s course page and in How I change career so 'easily' [https://www.chiaracokieng.com/career-transitions/]: > Every time I

Gen Propel Skillshare course: Introduction

Currently Writing: “Are you good enough to find work abroad? It's likely you are. You just don’t know it, yet.”

While working on outlining Gen Propel [https://genpropel.com/]’s Skillshare course, an idea for an article arose. The working title is, “Are you good enough to find work abroad? It's likely you are. You just don’t know it, yet.” I'm still organizing my thoughts.

Yesterday, while searching for 'online coworking' services, I discovered Caveday [https://www.caveday.org/?via=chiara]. Caveday facilitates daily group focus sessions on Zoom. To my delight and surprise, I was able to sign up for a session less than an hour after I discovered it. It was
