Leukemia impact has local man out to Rock 'n' Roll
This coming Sunday, the group has a little more to run for.
On May 24, Sarah, a fifth-grader at Ysabel Barnett School in Temecula, was considered cured of leukemia after five years without treatment. On Thursday, she celebrated her 11th birthday.
The good news was plenty for Happy and Pattie, who is running her second Rock 'N' Roll as part of Team In Training.
"(Sarah has) been a teammate for years," Pattie said. "She comes out and works the aid stations. When I get tired, I just think about her going through chemotherapy."
Said Happy: "She's great, and her mom and dad are great. You just hope for the best for our honored teammates."

Earlier this year, two articles published in the Columbus Dispatch claimed that students using vouchers to attend private schools in Ohio perform worse than their peers attending public schools. The focus of the March 8 article and the subsequent March 16 editorial was on extending the third grade reading guarantee to students using vouchers (a measure eventually signed into law). In an effort to bolster this argument, the article referenced data suggesting that 36 percent of third-grade voucher students would be retained compared to only 34 percent of public school students. Other articles in the Cincinnati Enquirer and the Canton Repository made similar comparisons that negatively portrayed the performance of students using an EdChoice Scholarship. However, Test Comparison Summary data released this week by the Ohio Department of Education shows a very different picture of how voucher students are performing. The key is using the right comparison group.
The data used in the articles referenced above incorrectly grouped the results of all public school students in the state, including many affluent public schools, and then compared their results with those of voucher students. However, these scholarships are not available to all students. Students are only eligible for a traditional EdChoice Scholarship if they attended or otherwise would be assigned to a "low-performing" public school. Many such schools are located in Ohio's less-affluent urban areas. Accordingly, the most accurate comparison is to examine the test results of students receiving EdChoice vouchers with the...
While some folks are busy marching and complaining and "going to war" over ed reform and school choice efforts. And while pundits are looking for the next big thing to boost student achievement and promote the best and brightest in teaching and accountability, there is one place where the arguments are already settled.
I found a little bit of peace last week in this place - an oasis where all school choice is fait accompli. All options coexist happily and productively, geography doesn't matter much, and student success is the only thing on folks' minds.
Where is this Shangri-la? The school uniform store.
In this serene place, charter schools commingle with district schools and with private schools of all stripes (Catholic, Christian, nonsectarian). Schools from a 25-mile radius are all represented there with no turf battles or rivalries, even though their various sports gear is side-by-side.
The staff of the store is friendly and helpful to all who come in, whatever school they have chosen, and they are knowledgeable about the requirements for all those schools and make sure that parents know that this skirt is required and that top is optional. To them, it's all about the right fit. Literally.
Wouldn't it be great if we could substitute the word "uniform" for "options" and everything else stay the same?...
Students who cannot read early in life are barreling toward dropping out, adult illiteracy, and perhaps the welfare rolls. Someone has to intervene in these young lives—and the earlier, the better. Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee requires schools to take early action, including retaining youngsters who do not pass their standardized reading exam. This isn't punitive, as some critics claim, or unnecessarily harmful to kids. Rather, such interventions could be the force that knocks these kids off the dreaded "school-to-prison pipeline."
And they're sorely needed, as witnessed by the recently released data revealing that more than 16,000 Buckeye third graders are in serious jeopardy of not entering fourth grade, as a result of failing their reading exams. Many of these children are from Ohio's poorer areas (over one-quarter of them live in the "Big Eight" urban districts), but thousands more reside in middle-class communities. These youngsters did not earn the minimum score on their reading exam for either the Fall 2013 or Spring 2014 rounds of testing.[1] Now they have one last chance—if they want it—to take the state's assessment this summer or to pass an alternative one.
The fact that 10 percent of Ohio's third graders need heavy-duty summer remediation or will probably have to repeat third grade—and that hundreds more barely passed—should give us pause. Granted, many schools are struggling valiantly to help young readers, and hats off to Ohio's educators for upping their attention on early literacy.

H1Z1 Will Feature Buildable Structures, Heat-Seeking Zombies And Crafting In Early Access [VIDEO]
It seems there's some doubt about whether or not H1Z1 will actually be ready to make its Steam Early Access debut before the end of May, despite previous promises from SOE president John Smedley, but new information from H1Z1 developer Adam Clegg should make that pill a bit easier to swallow.
Though not quite as exciting as actual gameplay footage, those anxious for new information on H1Z1 will be happy to hear that a handful of new details were unearthed by the five hosts of Podcast Zero, an all-things-H1Z1weekly video podcast from a number of popular Twitch.tv personalities. This week, the Podcast Zero hosts were joined by H1Z1 developer Adam Clegg, one of several members of the H1Z1 team who have popped up on various streams over the last few weeks.
As we mentioned in the opening paragraph, Clegg still seemed uncertain about when H1Z1 will actually be available on Steam, saying it's always possible that Smedley could decide to push the H1Z1 launch back by a couple of weeks. On the flipside, Clegg also acknowledge the studio's plans to show the game at E3, which also means they'll need to have a playable judge's demo ready. So there's still some chance we could see H1Z1 pop-up in the Early Access section of Steam before the end of the month.
The H1Z1 developer also revealed an interesting take on zombies that may prove extremely beneficial when it comes time to evade one or more of the undead. Apparently, in H1Z1, zombies will be drawn to sources of heat, and will even abandon pursuit of players if they are drawn to a larger source of heat. That doesn't just mean fires, either. Given their lack of intelligence, Clegg says zombies will be drawn to fires, packs of animals, and/or literally anything else that would generate more heat than a single individual. Of course, that also means it's going to be quite a bit more difficult for players to escape the undead in large groups.
On the stranger end of things, Clegg revealed previous SOE design meetings yielded the possibility that players will be able to capture/domesticate infected animals. It's not clear how players might make use of these trained creatures, other than creating traps for would-be home invaders, but it remains one of the more interesting potential features floated during the roughly two-hour broadcast.
Clegg also confirmed that Sony Online Entertainment is open to including player-coordinated events into the official H1Z1 lore, in much the same way that developer CCP Games has become known for leaving lasting monuments/tributes for the various EVE Online battles that made the news over the years. The example given in the podcast was possible recognition of similar player battles, though you could obviously think of other situations -- say, zombies overrunning a survivor camp that people assumed was unconquerable -- where it would be appropriate to alter the H1Z1 lore.
Turns out, players may be able to sabotage non-player creations as well. We've known since the game was first announced that players would be able to craft shacks, houses and other structures, and that opposing players would be able to burn or otherwise destroy those buildings.
According to Clegg, SOE is considering giving players the ability to do things like blow-up the fuel pumps at a gas station, to make life more difficult for other H1Z1 players on the same server. The functionality isn't guaranteed yet, and definitely won't be in the Early Access build of H1Z1, but you can count me among those who'd love the opportunity to turn an already desolate map into a true No Man's Land.
If you've got a couple of hours to kill, or need something to listen to while you work on a project, I definitely recommend checking out the entire Podcast Zero interview with Adam Clegg for more info on H1Z1 while we wait for an official Steam Early Access timeline. Alternately, if you'd just like a point-by-point breakdown of the entire H1Z1 discussion, reddit user ReloadUI has you covered.
Be sure to check back with iDigitalTimes.com and follow Scott on Twitter for more on H1Z1 as we keep tabs on Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming zombie survival game throughout the H1Z1 Early Access period, and for however long the studio continues to produce new H1Z1 content.
What do you think of all the latest H1Z1 gameplay information from Adam Clegg? Is there something that you were disappointed not to hear discussed in the Podcast Zero interview? Just hoping that SOE is able to release H1Z1 via Steam Early Access before the end of May?

Throwing out the ceremonial first pitch has become a trendy tradition these days.It allows people who would never ordinarily find themselves on the pitching mound to receive 15 seconds of fame. Take ESPN NFL analyst John Clayton for example.Clayton tossed out the first pitch before the Seattle Mariners game Friday night. Click here to see how it went.However, the real treat to behold is the hilarious training routine Clayton underwent in order to whip himself into shape.

The post How designing your ideal week can increase your productivity (and sanity). appeared first on Marie Poulin.]]>
"You have a choice in life. You can either live on-purpose, according to a plan you've set. Or you can live by accident, reacting to the demands of others. The first approach is proactive; the second reactive." — Michael Hyatt
I love that quote by Michael Hyatt. I had googled "design ideal week" and stumbled upon his post: How to better control your time by designing your ideal week. I've been planning a week ahead of my schedule for the last year or so… but what I hadn't really realized is that I wasn't really sticking to the schedule I had set out for myself, and still always felt busy. My weekly ideal schedule had become more of a pipe dream, and I was still operating in reaction mode.
Finally after stumbling upon Michael's post, I had a much clearer idea of how to create a framework for my week that would empower me to feel more focused by theming days of the week, and even parts of the day. SO simple, I know. Some of you have been doing this for ages and you're already a pro, and some of your who saw my schedule said "woah, that's so rigid, I need more flexibility!"
Here's the thing: this structure GIVES me way more flexibility. This allows me to be in proactive mode.
I do not naturally conform to structure; structure is not something that comes easily to me (I know some of my students might tell you otherwise). It's something I study over and over again, so that I can find the environment that enables me to thrive naturally.
What I realized since launching Digital Strategy School is that my schedule had become way too unpredictable. Students were able to book their sessions with me almost any time and any day of the week, provided my calendar was empty. This would sometimes result in weeks with 2 meetings, followed by weeks with 8 meetings, sometimes with only a 15 min buffer in between (it was a big transition from client work to mentoring almost overnight!). I also didn't have a consistent day or time in which I would conduct my DSS Interviews. I realized I needed some structure so that I could plan my time better, and make sure I was giving the best to my students, and also be realistic about how many hours I actually had available week to week.
In planning my ideal week I mapped out all of my weekly, monthly and even yearly commitments, and began to plot out what a typical week could look like. I set up 2 days per week that I would set aside for mentorship (at the same time each day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon).
I also participate in a number of masterminds, some of which are every other week. In this case, I've blocked it out on my calendar, so on the off weeks, that time can be used for content creation, or admin.
If you're not sure how much time you are actually spending on various tasks, use a tool like Rescue Time (their free version is excellent!) which runs in the background and tracks where your time is being spent. It can even send you weekly reports so you know exactly how much time you wasted on Facebook, or spent in your email inbox! You can assign different websites or programs/applications on a scale of very distracting to very productive, so you can see at a glance things like: which days of the week you're most productive, which times of the day you're most productive, and the sites on which you're spending the most distracting time. Turns out I'm consistently "in the zone" around 3pm in the afternoon; so instead of trying to tackle highly creative work first thing in the morning (when my brain is barely functioning), I handle it in the afternoon, when I know I'm at my peak!
I manually track my time spent on general client work, meetings, and personal projects using Timely app, while leaving Rescue Time running in the background so I have a general sense of how much time I spent between apps and within different websites. With these 2 tools, I have a pretty good sense of where my time is going week to week.
Using Michael Hyatt's week as inspiration, I themed my days in a way that made sense for me:
Sunday: Rest and plan for the week
Monday: Mentorship
Tuesday: Creation
Wednesday: Mentorship
Thursday: Mastermind
Friday: Oki Doki work day (new business development, design, content creation, community building, brainstorming, etc)
Saturday: Personal day, kick-started with an "In Real Life" Mastermind with friends from Screw the Nine to Five, Constance Lynn Hummel, and her partner Harrison.
Mondays and Wednesdays are now set aside for Digital Strategy School work/mentorship, Tuesdays and Thursdays are now my major work and content creation days, while Friday is entirely set aside for Oki Doki work and planning. This is just a loose theme for the day, that still allows me some flexibility with how I spent my time each day.
I mapped out all my non-negotiable personal time as well.
This means no skipping lunches to keep working, and making physical activity a must. It's easy to put that stuff on the backburner when things get busy, but physical activity is so essential to my sanity, that only by mapping it out into my schedule do I actually really feel committed to it (reminders and all).
If you have a system that already works for you, that's great. But if you find yourself feeling a bit frayed, it might be worth taking some time to re-evaluate your calendar, and plan out your week.
I can now say goodbye to weeks that look like this: (YIKES.)
And into weeks that look a little closer to this: (I used Michael Hyatt's excel template in Numbers for Mac and adjusted everything to work for me… since there is no way on earth I'm even remotely going to be alert before 8am!)
My schedule will always be a work in progress, but simply by limiting the times I'm available in my scheduler system, I've managed to create more space for content creation, brainstorming, planning, designing, and just life in general. I'm looking forward to testing out this weekly theming.
Do you theme your days, or do time-blocking like this? I'd love to know what works for you!

Digital Strategy School is the best investment you can make for your design business
Marie is that unique blend of person who has the chops and the knowledge, and is constantly furthering her own education and networking to benefit clients, but is also a person of deep integrity who finds her purpose in supporting others to grow professionally and personally. Perhaps her greatest strength is that she has been where many designers are – wondering why client relationships aren't as rich as they should be, why specific problems crop up repetitively with different clients, and how we as the leaders of the process can change our tools, approaches and interactions for the satisfaction of both client and service provider.
I have watched my DSS peers grow exponentially, and heard their voices change from harried and worried about everything from sideways contracts and fear of financial setbacks to purposeful crafters of their own destinies, and I've seen the difference to their bottom lines and their personal health and relationships with others both in and outside of their businesses.
— Laurie McConnell, Bad Dog Design
Read Laurie's blog about her experience in Digital Strategy School
My business has been making lots of steady growth since I registered for DSS.
Marie's insights and guidance have enabled me to see when my rates need to be adjusted and when they need to be left alone. The course has given me the tools and resources to provide higher quality design and support for my clients, while still maintaining efficiency on my end.
Through the course I've been tackling the larger barriers in my business like project management systems, proposals and business efficiency. Now that I have an established client base, I am focusing on my client onboarding process and reporting systems. I'm excited about creating long term relationships with my clients and want to foster open communication with them.
During the course I even launched a social media program of my own to help train small business owners on how to advertise on Facebook. Marie helped me set-up the program and provided guidance on how to do it.
Being part of the group has opened my eyes to see what my fellow colleagues are also overcoming to streamline their businesses and take them to the next level.

The post 2014 Year End Annual Review appeared first on Marie Poulin.]]>
What an amazing year it's been. It was so interesting to look back at my 2013 review to see where I had actually followed through (or not) on my goals. It's really amazing how much can change in a year, and I'm excited to go through this process each year in December. (Partly inspired by Chris Guillebeau's Annual Review)
This is from last year's post:
In creating a Limitless 2014, my theme for the year will be: Abundance + Opportunity.
I want to let go of and stop doing: rush work, favour work, working on weekends + evenings, and scope creep.
I want to feel: bold, limitless, abundant, joyful, free, energized.
I want to achieve: more balance with my work and free time. I want to produce my first digital product, and start phasing out client work for personal projects in an attempt to scale up my impact and offerings.
I'd have to say all of that was pretty bang on, and I'll reflect in more detail below:
Recapping 2013 Business Goals:
Well, I totally nailed each of those!
What went well:
This year was just incredible on so many levels. I incorporated a new company (Oki Doki) with my partner in life and business, Ben. Together we are working on an application called Doki which helps entrepreneurs teach and market courses online. It has been incredibly rewarding to be able to work with Ben on a big undertaking that is not only really enjoyable to work on, but can help so many people. The response to our progress updates has been so exciting, and we really appreciate the encouragement and support! We'll be doing our alpha in the spring, and our private beta in the early summer. If you are planning to launch an online course in 2015 and want to try our platform, you should sign up for updates!
In the summer I began the beta version of Digital Strategy School, and I have never felt so "in my element" before. It is simultaneously the most difficult and the most rewarding thing I've ever created. It pushed and stretched me in ways I could never have predicted, and lit me up with astonishing energy and creativity.
I really grew into my role as a mentor and business strategist, which I was so afraid to "claim" for so long. Once I experienced gratitude and praise, and could see the changes happening in designers' businesses, I had to accept that I really do have something to offer my community.
This is one of the most kick-ass reviews/testimonials I received: (thank you Amanda!!)
I am beyond grateful to everyone who has been a part of it and continues to shape what it is today. The community would not be what it is without you!
I organized an in-person DSS meet up in Vancouver for anyone that was able make it (there were 10 of us), and was thrilled to have Jessica who came as as far away as North Carolina! It was my first time hosting an event like that, and I really came to appreciate the power and importance of face to face interaction. One thing I was reminded of is how much we all tend to be blind to our own gifts; we're our own worst critics!
I could not have done Digital Strategy School without the support of: Ben, Natasha (+ Tara), Cristina, Erika, Breanne, Constance, all of the students that signed up for the Beta (as well as those who've signed up already for the January round!), and anyone else who patiently listened to me as I chatted all things business.
I also participated in a number of masterminds this year, including a weekly launch-focused Mastermind, as well as a hilarious Facebook mastermind group with the likes of Rebecca Tracey, Nikki Groom, Illana Burk, Ellen Ercolini, Maggie Patterson, Lis Dingjan, Jessica Kupferman.
Cristina has been a tremendously positive force in my life. She is a major part of my fear-conquering journey this year. Our twice-monthly chats help me keep my head on straight. She helps me see myself the way others see me; helps me see the blind spots, and holds up a mirror to my brilliance. She refuses to let me play small! Everyone needs a Cristina in their life!!
I recently hired a VA. I'm totally new with outsourcing help, so we'll see how it goes, but it's a step in the right direction!
I worked with some amazing people this year, and helped launch some fabulous projects including: Alive in Berlin, Dress Mavens, A New Possibility, The Conquer Summit, and The Conquer Club. I got to meet several of my clients in person, which is such a treat considering so many of them are pretty far away! Currently working with Natalie MacNeil, Maureen Borghoff, Shannon Lee Simmons, Jeanne Grabowski, Brigitte Theriault, and Willo O'Brien (and couldn't be more excited about it)!
I also got a chance to attend Tara's 10k ft mini-retreat in Astoria, and connected with so many talented entrepreneurs. This was definitely a highlight experience for me this year!
I connected with tons of other talented online friends + colleagues like Nathan Powell of Nusii, Jessica Ann, Scott of The Busy Creator podcast, Breanne Dyck, and many more!
I realized that if I was going to scale my impact and launch my first "product" or program, I was going to have to put myself out there. This year I really pushed myself out of my comfort zone with guest posting, interviews, podcasts, and even webinars.
This year there was:
Later this year I created a few new offerings: Digital Strategy Masterminds, and Digital Strategy Consulting. This happened naturally and unexpectedly, and stemmed from a bit of creative brainstorming on how I could help more people without committing to a full long-term large-scale project. I'm really looking forward to offering more strategy-focused services in 2015.
What could have gone better:
Goals for next year:
What went well:
Early in 2014 I revised my financial goals to earning at least the same or more than I did in 2013, while reducing my one-to-one workload, and creating my first leveraged income by way of an online course. I feel pretty good about how this went!
What could have gone better:
Goals for next year:
Last year's Health goals:

What went well:
Seriously it's impossible to fail when you have people like this in your life…
What could have gone better:
Goals for next year:
Last year's life + travel goals:
What went well:
Travel and adventure are very dear to my heart, and something that I will always make space for! I managed to give myself ~7 weeks of vacation this year, and worked smarter not harder. This year was pretty outstanding:
What could have been better:
Goals for next year:
Last year's personal growth goals:
What went well:
What could have gone better:
Goals for next year:
This year was pretty spectacular, once again. I continued to take my business to new heights, built some amazing friendships and relationships, and am building an amazing application with Ben. While last year was all about systems, support + collaboration…
2015 will be the year of: connection, flow + ease.
I spent so much of 2014 really focusing on business and marketing tactics, and this year is really about leveraging what I've already created, and finding more flow and ease within my business.
I will let go of and stop doing: rush work, favour work, working on weekends + evenings (unless it's my own work of course!), scope creep and unnecessary stress.
I will feel: joyful, connected, loving, creative, energized, free, "in my element."
This year I will achieve more balance with my work and free time. I will continue to evolve Digital Strategy School, and will reinvent how I work with clients by scaling up my impact and offerings. I will create with ruthless intentionality, and nurture strategic and supportive collaborations. I will help as many people as I can grow their businesses strategically, and do work they love.
What happened for you this year?
What are you looking forward to in 2015?
I'd love to know

The post Proposal Makeover #1: Brigitte Theriault, White Apron Chef appeared first on Marie Poulin.]]>
And by pleasure I mean stress, yes?
I've written, designed, and received many, many proposals in the last decade or so. I've seen really well-designed but poorly written proposals, and I've seen really high value proposals put together in a simple Word or Google doc.
Are you using them to their fullest potential?
My good friend (and meal planner) Brigitte needed to put together a proposal for her new offering: coaching for personal chefs. She shared her initial Google Doc with me, and my mind immediately went to the all the possibilities:
Brigitte was focusing more on the specifics of what would be covered in the coaching calls, and less on the "results" her clients would experience through working with her.
We took her boring, features-focused document, and turned it into a much more visually appealing, results-driven proposal that she can re-use over and over. It can grow and adjust over time as she adds new services, as the template we used contained a number of page layout options.
Designer or not, the proposal is the first chance (after your portfolio) the client has to see what you're capable of. I design my proposal just as I would design any other ebook or document. I create it with care, and a designer's eye. I want them to receive the proposal and be excited to dive in. Forget creating technical documents with 8pt type that feel like a contract full of fine print. I make sure it's easy and pleasant to read, beautifully typeset, and even use images or icons where necessary. I walk them through the possibility that is our collaboration.
Most importantly, you want to make sure that you are painting a picture of what their life and business looks like when they choose to work with you. What hesitations might they have that you want to address? What do they want/need to hear?
This of course assumes that you've had a pretty thorough conversation about their goals first-hand (I won't get into that in this post—that's a whole other can of worms!).
If you're not a designer, and still want a quality proposal template, considering using a Proposal Creation service like Nusii.
In Digital Strategy School, I cover Proposals extensively, helping designers (and developers) completely rethink their proposal process (among other things). I help them consistently land higher value projects with this new way of approaching their proposals. I also provide access to all of the actual proposal and retainers that I use in my business.
One designer earned more money in a deposit alone (using my template) than she ever had before on an entire project. Curious? Learn more.

The post Why you need to design the experience of working with you appeared first on Marie Poulin.]]>
From the first email, to the content revisions, to your invoicing and hand-off package, have you thought about how your clients experience working with you, whether they are delighted or inspired, frustrated or confused?
Often designers don't realize how their communication throughout a project impacts their client's experience. And client experience is the one thing you have to get right, because business is all about people, and you can't build a business from unhappy clients! Delight your clients, and not only will they return, but they'll tell their friends.
All designers experience hiccups at some point in the design process; it's inevitable. They don't teach this stuff in design school after all!
In my program, Digital Strategy School, each designer (or developer) takes a good hard look at their process, from the first client contact, to final sign off, and maps it out.
From this process, some designers realize that they don't really have a set process. Others notice glaring omissions or opportunities.
That last point is one of the most important. I would venture to bet that most failed projects tend to be a result of not setting expectations for your client.
How can a process map help you see these opportunities?
Let's take a look at Janessa's project map:
Some of the insights that came out of Janessa's mapping process included:
Overall Janessa realized that she needed to streamline and automate tasks that she was doing over and over again, and to develop a solid process for handling each step of the project, to save her time so she can focus on the work she does best. It became clear that a major opportunity was available to set expectations early with a welcome package for her clients, to establish a clear process for invoicing (so that she wasn't waiting until the very end of a project to receive a large final invoice), and to focus more on the strategy before the project design kicks off. She also realized that by not scheduling on-screen Skype calls, she was missing a huge opportunity to get an accurate feel for her client's working styles and larger business goals.
Kayla created her map, and realized that she didn't really have a system:
"I was able to see what I was missing and where things went wrong, and to be honest I really had no system whatsoever! I had some natural steps that I took, and a general guideline, but that's it. Creating this map changed my workflow a ton, and the thing that is great is that I can easily change it up when I see things are jellin' like I'd like!" – Kayla Rose
Another student developed hers and realized that she hadn't templated much of her documents (proposals, sitemaps, Basecamp Templates, etc), so she was creating more work for herself with each project. Her chart helped her see where things were falling through the cracks:
How I handle a project will be completely different from another designer, and while there is no right or wrong way to run a project, there are always opportunities to improve our processes.
Refining your process, automating and templating where possible, and setting client expectations from the very beginning (with a beautifully designed welcome document) can create ease for both you and your clients. You waste less time in the drudgery of managing your projects, and can focus on design, strategy, or whichever other part of the project delights you most. You can go that extra mile for your client because you aren't stressed about much money you're losing on each project because of wasted time. Take a look at how your client experiences you at each stage of the project. If you are consistently having issues with one particular part of your process, it's likely time to investigate how you can improve that part of your process. Sometimes it's a pricing issue, sometimes it's a scoping issue, and more often than not, it's a communication issue!
Your client doesn't know what to expect when working with you, and they aren't typically approaching you just for wireframes, ux design, or development. What they really want at the end of the day is a business that is more successful because of your work together. So focus on how you educate, enlighten, and inspire your client throughout the process of working with you. Make it easier for them to get their content to you (do you need to recommend a copywriter? Do you need to ask about their commitment to copy in your first discovery meetings? Do you need to help them edit, or suggest some reading?). Find ways to delight them (go out of your way to integrate something for them, or send them a fantastic resource, or even a thank-you gift at the end of your project), and show your appreciation. Word of mouth is the easiest way to build your business, so delight is essential.
It's a big up-front time investment to look at your process, but you can't afford not to get your systems in place. Streamlining your process will go a LONG way to helping you reduce your overwhelm! You don't have to overhaul everything all at once; focus on where you'll get the highest immediate returns, and then schedule time every week where you tweak your systems. Improve one part of your workflow every week, even if it's small!
Some of the most common take-aways that the designers realized in the process of creating their maps:
You want to look at each of the small tasks that make up your projects, but you also want to look at things from a bird's eye view. Factor in both the overall experience, as well as how each component can contribute to an overall delightful project process. Design the experience of working with you; it's what sets you apart!
Are you up for the challenge?
BONUS POINTS: Put a time estimate on each of these steps, and check back to see if you're accurate. You might be surprised how much time you're spending on unnecessary tasks (and how much unnecessary time you're adding to your projects!).

The post Behind the scenes: building an online course appeared first on Marie Poulin.]]>
This has been one of the most personally rewarding projects I've ever taken on, and wanted to share some of the things I've been learning along the way.
I was terrified to "put it out there." I've been thinking about it in some form or another for over a year, over-thinking the format, the cost, the content, etc. Initially I thought it was a book. Then perhaps it was an ecourse.
I thought my audience was other website owners, and was trying so hard to do what I thought I should do (create an offering for those that couldn't afford my full partnership services), and in the end, my audience wasn't who I initially thought it would be.
I decided to take Breanne's Transform Your Course to help me piece together all the different parts, and it was instrumental in me discovering my real audience, and figuring out a way to deliver content that would help take them from Point A to Point B, which a clear plan of action.
This also led to me releasing my unfinished/imperfect course to a small group of paying Beta testers.
I had no idea there would be such a demand for what I was assembling, and it wasn't until I had someone offer me money for my insights via Facebook that I realized: I need to do something NOW. Not 6 months from now when this is polished. (If I'd waited until it was perfectly polished I know I would never have started!) So with that encouraging push, I assembled a simple page to gauge interest. I outlined a vision for the program, and included an opt-in. Very quickly I realized that there were a lot of people eager to learn what I was willing to share.
In July I launched what is now the Beta version of Digital Strategy School with 15 students, and I'm learning SO MUCH from working with them! I am able to hear directly from them about their struggles, which allows me to tailor the content to them, ensuring that I'm addressing real issues, and not the issues I imagine they have. The direct feedback is so valuable, and running a paid beta means that you don't have to go broke while devoting time to the content creation.
I was stressing out about the format before I even knew what the content was. I should know better as a designer that form follows function. I had to let go of my pre-conceptions of what the format of this thing needed to be, and focus on helping the people I needed to help. In the end, a huge piece of that was conversations via Facebook. This led me to use a Facebook group as part of my Beta, which has been an excellent starting point for creating tremendous value for my participants, as well as learning from their questions, etc.
Sometimes when we give ourselves permission to let things evolve, things flow much more naturally. Once I let go of specific outcomes, format, audience, etc, the path revealed itself, and everything fell into place more more easily. Sometimes you just need to trust the process, and stop overthinking.
You cannot and should not do it alone. There's no way I could have launched this Beta without support:
Erika's coaching in February was a huge part of moving past some of my mindset blocks that were keeping me from making progress.
Cristina Donadio has been a mentor of mine since I met her at The World Domination Summit last year. As a Tony Robbins coach, mentor and friend, her support has been instrumental in my progress on this project.
Natasha Vorompiova has been coaching me through Tara's 10k Feet Coaching program. Getting her insights and support, as well as accountability is a huge part of why my Beta launched now, and not 6 months from now.
Breanne's Transform Your Course gave me the accountability and clarity that I needed to make my course happen in a practical way. As a curriculum designer, Breanne helped me realize that I needed to be focusing on what my students needed to learn, and not what I wanted to teach.
My partner Ben, with whom I founded Oki Doki, has been my rock throughout this entire process. He is also hard at work building the new teaching platform that Digital Strategy School will eventually live on.
Janessa Rae, who helped me realize that I had something to offer now, and not later
My students! Everyone who has trusted me to guide them along in the journey to Digital Strategist – I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you for helping me find my spark again.
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes as I work through the course creation over the coming months.

unified communications
Unified communications is a phrase used to describe any communications system, usually a business system, that encompasses a broad range of technologies and applications that have been designed, sold and supported as a single communications platform or as one entity. Unified communications system generally enable companies to use integrated data, video, and voice in one supported product.
Access a Variety of Communication Applications
Unified communications systems typically include the means to integrate real-time or near-real time unified messaging, collaboration and interactive systems. For example, a single user can access a variety of communication applications such as e-mail, SMS, video, fax, voice, and others through a single user mailbox. Additionally, unified communications has expanded to incorporate collaboration and other interactive systems such as scheduling, workflow, instant messaging and voice response systems.
Unified communications also provide the integration through multiple devices. For example, many service features, options, and user accounts are as readily available to you from your PDA, laptop or other wireless device, as if you were using your desktop PC.

From the Publisher"This exemplary work of historical geography presents an original interpretation of voluntary associations in French rural society during the nineteenth century that insured peasants against risk...a comprenhensive investigation...Although the empirical evidence for these generalizations is based on archival research in a single department, the book has broad scope and significance for historians as well as geographers...Baker's conjectures about the relationship between cultural change and associational life, which highlight the implications of secularization for attitudes towards risk and insurance, deserve a wide audience among historians of rural France." Ted W. Margardant, Journal of Historical Geography
"Without doubt, Baker has produced path-breaking work...Fraternity sheds fresh light on the socialization of risk and prompts further questions on the relationship of voluntary associations to earlier fraternities and later political parties. The appearance of this book will be welcomed by all with a specialist interest in the economic and social history of France, and in the contested theme of modernization." Hugh Clout, Economic History Review
"Alan Baker's book is not simply another local study of the French peasantry during the nineteenth century. By showing how effectively the rural communities of the Loir-et-Cher organized themselves for their mutual protection and evoloved what were essentially early mechanisms of insurance, he questions many of the rather glib statements so often made about peasant individualism." Alan Forrest, History
"Whilst rooted in a deep and detailed reading of a range of archival material in the department of Loir-et-Cher, the book tells us much about the nature of peasant society in France as a whole. The analysis [of voluntary associations] is thorough and detailed and written with a real understanding of the character of pays and paysan...[An] excellent volume...the knowledge, understanding and empathy displayed in Alan Baker's book gives the reader a real insight into the ways in which a French rural community lived, worked and interacted in the past." Mark Cleary, Rural History
"Baker's original and lucidly written book carries the authority of skillful, patient research over many years. The results prove that all those hours in the archives at Blois were well worth it. The image of the peasantry that emerges is at once sympathetic and more realsitic than many other accounts provide. Baker's book is a fine contribution to the "revisioning" of the nineteenth-century French peasantry." American Historical Review
"This is an impressive volume, both from the perspective of political geography and economic and social history... a triumph of scholarly endeavor and perseverance. Baker's search is immaculate, and the empirical findings are lucidly presented...this book makes a welcome contribution...from an economic and social perspective...in its scholarly and stimulating responses to the various 'myths' about the French peasantry, this fine piece of research indeed demonstrates precisely the opposite." The Journal of Modern History

Championship game upset chances
What are the upset odds for the Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons?
Last week, we rolled out our upset odds for the divisional round of the playoffs. We had the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots as solid favorites to win, with the Seattle Seahawks at just over 50 percent to pull off the upset. After coming out soft, the Seahawks stormed back, only to have Matt Ryan put together a game-winning field goal drive by his Atlanta Falcons in the final seconds. The Baltimore Ravens had only a 27.4 percent chance to take down the mighty Denver Broncos at Mile High, but managed to complete the challenge, extending Ray Lewis' career thanks in part to some pretty large gaffes by the Broncos.
This week, we look ahead to the AFC and NFC championship games. Four teams remain: San Francisco, Atlanta, Baltimore and New England. Using our advanced metrics, we project the rest of the postseason.
Please note that all rankings refer to the opponent-adjusted efficiency as calculated by numberFire, not the gross yardage.
No. 2 San Francisco 49ers at No. 1 Atlanta Falcons

MIT's Flyfire To Paint Images In the Sky Using Micro-Helicopters 65
from the bundles-of-led-joy dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Aside from stabilization, I think the bigger problem they will have is the duration of flight. By the time they get the helicopter matrix up and stabilized they will all need to land and recharge. And if there is no self docking mechanism to recharge, you will need an army of people to plug the things in when they come raining down.
What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do.

|VivaGel ... Can it be true??
May 8, 2010
Hi Doc!
Always enjoy reading your questions and answers and I'm pretty sure you are on your way to saintly status! :) Anyway, I was poking around on the internet this morning and saw something about VivaGel, a lube that could prevent HIV and Herpes (how amazing would THAT be) and am wondering if you know much about it and if it really could be an answer to SO many prayers.
As always, you do amazing work and I know many, many angels continue to smile down on you and the fabulous work you do for us all!
Oh and in the words of Jiminy Cricket, "I'm no fool! No sirree! I want to live to be seventy-three I play safe for you and me 'cause I'm no fool!" :)
| Response from Dr. Frascino
Saintly status? Hmm. A friend once told me I was "going to heaven" for my good deeds. Another friend nearby overheard him and said, "Well, maybe, but I doubt you'll like it very much, and you'll probably voluntarily leave soon after you arrive to be with your friends and better people."
Regarding VivaGel, here's what I know. VivaGel is as microbicide gel that is still under development (in clinical trials) to help prevent STDs, including HIV and herpes. SPL 7013, the active constituent of VivaGel, has demonstrated some degree of efficacy in preventing genital herpes and HIV in animal models. The mechanism of action involves a "dendrimer" molecule, which binds to viruses and prevents infection and viral replication. Safety trials in both men and women have found the product to be safe and well tolerated. Further trials have been scheduled. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted as to when clinical trial results concerning this and other promising therapies become available.
Dr. Bob
