Requested Courses


These course outlines are just starting points – use whatever format and flow makes the most sense.

We recommend courses have 2+ modules with 4-8 resources per module. Modules can include short videos (typically 3-20 minutes, but longer videos may make sense in certain use cases), PDFs, or downloadable templates.

The structure should build naturally throughout the course (move from an overview into strategy and frameworks, conclude with activities/templates/examples).

The content should be professional but approachable, and focused on giving people clear next steps.

Please reach out to Kristen on Slack before starting to create a course.
