Jill!! Thank you for this gem of a podcast. I transitioned into ID a year ago and have been compiling bits and pieces of knowledge over the past year through work experience and self-study. >> I see all that come together amazingly in this podcast. Everything you describe is exactly like that in corporate ID. << At the start of my career I was overwhelmed (workflows, documents, best practices,…) - this podcast would’ve been exactly what I needed then. But… at this stage, your words of wisdom actually empower me: I recognize aspects, enjoy your additional insights, and see where I can continue to make improvements! I wish I had the means to join your online course - I am sure it is topclass! - but for now this podcast will do the trick to keep me moving along! Went through the first 10 episodes with immense excitement and a hunger to learn in no more than a week (!) and took plenty of applicable tips with me to keep me inspired until more episodes appear! Keep up the terrific work!
I've been taking the Freedom workshop class since Monday, and I am so thankful for Jill and her team! I'm learning so much and I can hardly believe she offers so much for free!! This is the beginning of my new beginning, and I can hardly wait to see where I am in 5 years!
This was my favorite of the first 5 episodes. Very helpful in determining if this is a good fit for me, which I think it is 🙂
