“Wallbreakers provided the structure and support to help hone my skills and, importantly, to gain confidence I needed to do well in a process that can often feel daunting and overwhelming. I truly can’t recommend the program enough, and strongly encourage you to apply and share with your friends.”
“We decided in the first couple of weeks that we were going to go big. From day one, we looked at software that would allow us to scale.”
“My background has been in in-person teaching. I really enjoy that because I like the interaction that you get with folks. But I was getting too tapped out trying to deliver the courses in person across Canada.”
"She wasn’t a skilled gymnast, she was just having fun and dancing to this really crazy dance music, and in that moment I was just completely mesmerized. I was like, if she can do this, I can do this. I love dancing. This is going to be great.”
“The mission of the course is to not only provide free online education to prohibit the spread of COVID-19 but also to create a community that encourages one another to do their part in making a difference.”
“I’ve never had so much control and power over my income. Most importantly, I’ve never felt more connected to my audience than I do now. I have such an incredible group of women following me, and have seen my community grow since launching my courses on Thinkific.”
“What I’ve found is that if you’re wanting somebody to pay all at once, they’re going to be a bit reluctant. But if you can allow them to pay in a few payments over a few months, people feel better. It’s great to give people the option.”
“Question your norm about money. A lot of dietitians come into my programs selling $50 to $100 USD ebooks and cheap courses. I try to shift their mindset and encourage them to offer more support, live calls, and make it a group program so that they can charge $1,000 to $2,000 USD.”
“Thinkific was the most simple platform I tried. I think the fact that I was able to create a whole bunch of different courses inside the platform was the most appealing. Also, it was affordable to get started with.”
“Developing online courses was somewhere on the bottom half of our to-do list for years. But all of a sudden, it was like, ‘Well, I guess it’s being pushed to number one tonight.’ There was a big internal debate in my own mind but I had to tell myself that there’s no time like the present. Get it done.”
“Online courses help me reach more students and allow me to deliver even more in-depth training than I could in person. Students are developing their skills faster by watching the videos before trying the moves on the ice .”
“The goal was to impact educators specifically and industry leaders in general, to understand the roles they play in the experiences of the people they serve. The ability to create and support spaces where each individual gets to show up as perfect and whole as they are. Without the expectation that they assimilate to very narrow, eurocentric norms in order to be successful.”
“They get the content first, have an opportunity to digest it, think about it, maybe even talk to their peers about it. Then, we come in and do a live session with them. The engagement is deeper and it’s more effective.”
"Traditionally, yoga was taught one-on-one. It’s a huge luxury to have the teacher’s time and your time to go daily or weekly and have a personal connection. And that’s always what I would preference.”
