Episode description

In Episode 24 of the HigherID Podcast, Dr. Jess Zeitler and Christy J. Woods take a reflective journey through their instructional designer portfolios, which haven't seen an update in over a year (or two - yikes!). Picture this: the candid exploration of what worked, what needs a refresh, and the evolution of their design skills. Brace yourselves for the cringe-worthy moments and the inspiring transformations!

But that's not all—join us for a groundbreaking announcement! We're thrilled to introduce our inaugural Portfolio Co-Working Sprint! What's a co-working sprint, you ask? Imagine three synchronous sessions designed for you to set goals, revamp your portfolio, discuss challenges, showcase your updates, and receive valuable peer feedback. In between the live sessions, you’ll chat with others in a private LinkedIn group for accountability and connection. Yes, you heard it right—it's an opportunity to level up your portfolio game, and the best part? It's completely FREE!

Excited about giving your portfolio a facelift alongside others ranging from folks transitioning into the field to industry experts? Don't miss out—sign up now using the link below and let's embark on this portfolio enhancement journey together!
