Show Notes:

In this episode I take you behind the scenes in a client's course.
This week we are talking all about The Seedling Group. You can find out more about their amazing work here: https://www.theseedlinggroup.org/

The program we are looking into is called the Billabongs of Knowledge Training by The Seedling Group.    The Billabongs of Knowledge Training is a series of 8 modules, each about an hour duration, and is all about culturally safe trauma informed practice – specifically designed for first nations people or those who work with or deliver services to the community. 

Things I love: 

• It comes from a place of experience, knowledge, research and understanding.    
• Its delivery style.   Kelleigh & Nicole sit side by side and use story telling and a really conversational manner to talk through some incredibly heavy information, but they come across in such a way that it feels like you are talking to family. 
• It uses an app called Padlet to offer a whole range of resources and links that go with each of the lessons.  Because it is offered slightly separately to the program, it means that you aren’t overwhelmed while you are trying to go through the content, but you do have a wonderful range of resources when you are ready for them. 
• They have some fun engaging worksheets that are designed in a manner that suits the program perfectly but have a graphic element that makes them really fun to work with. 

Things they could do to improve:

• This is heavy content, and it would be good to see other elements of support available within the course. 
• The length of the sessions – one hour can be quite long and it would be better if it were in smaller bite sized pieces. 

Action Steps:

Firstly, when you are looking at your courses, take a moment to stop and think about the wealth of experience you have – because for most people I work with, it is more than they realised.    

Secondly, really think about your delivery styles – can you vary your delivery style?   With your additional resources, how are you delivering them to the student – are they accessible, are they overwhelming, are they opening in a different window?  How are you giving them the information and are you giving them too much at one time?  Can you pull it back and bit and put it in a bonus lesson rather than putting it all into one place and hoping they go through it in one go?
