In this episode, Danny and Abe talk to Lisa Bloom about her impressive new course, Story Power. Lisa’s unique hybrid design blends a number of effective methods other course creators can adopt to maximize transformational outcomes for their own students.

Lisa Bloom runs a business called Story Coach and helps entrepreneurs, business owners & leaders attract & impact ideal clients and grow their business.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why you absolutely can teach abstract topics in an online course.
• Integrating a highly multifaceted course structure.
• Lending value and credibility to your course through accreditation.
• Using demonstration methods in your course curriculum. 
• Using special sessions, peer interaction and journaling in your course.
• Using a hybrid format and building in a flipped classroom.

“The course includes a lot of different aspects that are going to deepen the learning so that people get to do the work first for themselves and then learn how to do it for others. The combination of all the different aspects is incredibly effective.”
