tap into the human desire to learn, grow and connect.

The training was absolutely wonderful. Well organized, timely and aimed at the right level of knowledge for the audience.

I am not alone in my challenges. There is a path forward that doesn’t have to seem so intimidating.

I should be realistic with outside asks. It’s okay to delegate or deny if I don’t have the bandwidth.

  2. One-on-one interviews: Our learning experiences team interviews all prospective instructors to ensure their authenticity, while confirming their content and teaching styles align with the Electives mission and our current needs.
  3. Pilot classes: The prospective instructors that are approved to move forward then teach a pilot class.

The Electives pilot community includes employees from all of our client partners.
  4. Ongoing performance: Once instructors are live on the Electives platform, their classes can be viewed and booked on the Electives platform. Instructors must maintain high scores to remain on the platform.
