Step 1: Free Zoom Chat

I suggest that all my clients start with a free 30-minute Zoom chat. This allows you to explain your work and goals, and gives you a feel for my coaching style. We can talk about what you need and create a plan together to help you succeed.

Step 2: Portfolio Storytelling Workbook

Once you purchase a coaching session, I’ll share a free copy of my workbook to guide you in preparing your content. I designed this workbook to help my clients overcome the most common storytelling problems in their portfolios. It will help you save time and money so we can focus on more advanced issues in our coaching sessions.

  • Contains reflection questions, writing exercises, tips, and checklists
  • Helps you to create a personal, unique portfolio story

Step 4: Detailed Feedback in Hypothesis

Once you’re finished with your content updates, I’ll to through your site and give private comments on each of your portfolio pages using a Chrome extension called Hypothesis. I’ll share feedback with specific suggestions about how to tell your story, be concise, and engage your audience. You can reply or ask questions too!

Jessica did a fantastic job walking through my website and providing an unbiased, outsider’s view on how others might experience my website. She provided clear, actionable feedback on improvements that I might make, all in easy to understand and kind language. I never felt criticized or felt like the efforts I had put into my site were devalued.

My main concern was that I wouldn’t get my money’s worth if I enrolled for virtual coaching. In the end though, I can confidently say that every penny that I spent was worth it.
