Your Greatest Work

Don't miss this rare English interview with Dominic Sicotte, a family man and community driven entrepreneur with a huge heart for young people, entrepreneurs and mentorship. He is the Founding President and Executive Director of A.B. Foster, an academy for 16-25 year olds in Waterloo, Quebec Canada. His vision and expertise with mentorship gives us tactical ways to make mentorship a cornerstone of the learning that we create. We talk candidly about what mentorship truly should be, how he has created mentorship opportunities within the Academy, what makes an amazing mentor relationship and how to re-create this in our own courses and program.

What are your course completion rates? Only 15% of people complete the courses that they buy. So, why do we blame the learner when our courses are purchased but not finished? It's not our learner's fault. There's a lot that we can do to encourage people to not only buy, but also finish our programs. This episode will give you tips for creating courses that people are encouraged to finish. Tips for accountability and strategies for making your courses easier to finish.

One of the reasons why students often fail to complete a course is because they have really high expectations of what they think they will be able to achieve when they complete the course. Help learners create goals that are achievable so they can complete the program and feel rewarded by success. We can make our courses more finishable by helping learners practice with something fun and where the stakes are not too high.

Unless you've got skin in the game, boots on the ground, hands dirty, whatever you want to call it; it's impossible to understand how to do something unless you've actually gone through it. This is true for life and business. Learning designers and course creators can recreate these experiences for our learners. I'm talking about how we can do this with some key strategies.
