COMING SOON: Growing Grant Success with Better Grant Writing

To be competitive, grant writers have to create a well-structured project and persuasively convey project details. This course is for anyone (beginner to intermediate) who could use more confidence in their grant writing. The lessons will offer a sandbox for participants to learn how to construct grant project elements, where to put grant project details, and how to make those details clear and compelling to grant reviewers. The course will come with video instruction, slide decks for each lesson, and a workbook filled with the exercises, helpful templates, and supporting documents. The package also includes a 60-minute grant strategy session with me upon the conclusion of the course. My teaching style is to present the strategy, introduce and guide you through exercises, and provide examples to help illustrate key concepts. *The current launch date for this course is January 2021.

The LAM Career Pivot Packet Offer

For those who work in the Library, Archives, and Museum (LAM) fields, who are struggling to find a LAM job or those who've decided the LAM field isn't for them--this pivot packet is for you. I've been where you are. I got a graduate degree, I worked in the LAM field, and then I got burnt out. I struggled with how I might pivot my career. When you're in a specialized field like the LAM field, it's extra challenging to rethink how we can market ourselves in a completely different field and for a very different job. The resumes and cover letters contained in this packet are real. I used these to apply to jobs during my own career pivot and they helped me land more than a dozen successful interviews. The key here isn't necessarily the resume template or the cover letter style--it's about whether or not you're able to translate your LAM experience into something meaningful to an outside employer. This packet explains how I pivoted and gives you concrete examples of how I shifted the emphasis of my skills and reframed my experience to be relevant to a new job. The job titles included in this packet are: program manager, project manager, development coordinator, fund development manager, deputy director, executive director, grant writer, and community initiatives manager. The pivot packet also includes two downloadable resume templates for you to plug in your own information and kickstart your pivot process.
