Welcome Kit - Access to Your Needs Focused Professional Development
Ever wondered what goes into a welcome kit for a membership site?
Stop wondering right now.
I will take you behind the scenes to a living (not open to public yet though coming soon..) welcome kit.
So, what is this welcome kit you ask?
Fair question.
Your Welcome Kit is an entry into your world of unmatched professional development benefits with Financial Skills Academy Membership.
Note I said unmatched.
Why you want to know?
Let me ask you a question before I address yours (your question will get answered as well!).
Enduring Professional Development for You
How committed are you to your own professional development?
No, I am not being rhetorical.
It is a serious question.
I am not talking about taking an online course and learning a single topic.
Enduring professional development is about committing to grow yourself over time.
Possibly through your entire career and life.
That would mean you should be tapping into a comprehensive resource.
That builds sustainable skill sets.
No, it is not just knowledge.
But about building skills and abilities.
To solve real world problems, take successful decisions.
It is also about learning that is in sync with your needs.
The Financial Skills Academy Membership Welcome Kit includes learning customized to your unique needs.
How do we achieve that, you ask?
Well, immediately after you become a member, we take you through a short focused quiz.
This is for identifying from the quiz results, areas that are a priority for you.
Areas that tell us how to customize learning in the membership tier to suit your needs best.
You would want that right?
A recommendation will then be made to you based on results of your quiz.
That will focus on areas which will contribute to you professionally the most.
How about that?
This is however only one of the methods we adopt to zero in on what is critical for you in terms of learning.
Our membership tiers are designed to leverage your learning needs in the best way possible.
To provide the appropriate learning and guidance.
That will deliver sustained professional development for you.
Once you sign up for one of the membership tiers, you will go first to the Welcome Kit page.
As part of the Welcome Kit you will be directed first to a complete list of your benefits.
Not just a list but with explanations of each benefit.
And a recommendation of how to utilize them the best way possible.
You see, we are committed to your complete satisfaction, learning and enjoyment with your membership choice.
And there is more.
The Welcome Kit consists of specific How to Guides that hold your hand as you navigate the membership portal.
In this post, I will give you a sneak peek into what kind of How to Guides you may expect.
And moreover how the guides make it easy for you to enjoy the full benefits of learning.
Ready, let’s roll.
Watch this crisp video (less than 1 minute) on the Welcome Kit.
This Blog Post will cover
Membership Welcome Kit - Your Entry into a World of Unmatched Benefits
Take a sneak peek at the Welcome Kit Page below.
Know that the Welcome Kit is again customized to the type of membership you buy.
Another way we commit to focusing on your professional development needs.
Welcome Kit - Learner Member
First, a thank you for becoming a member.
Then, jump straight in.
See Welcome Kit Choices Page below.
Welcome Kit Choices - Learner Member
Clear guidance for what you prefer to do first.
No fluff, no fancy body text.
Dive straight into the learning.
And the road to your professional development.
You can choose to go to the dashboard first.
And get to see the world of benefits you enjoy as a member in one screen.
See dashboard image below.
Or proceed to quick learning.
If you are a visual person, go visit our Infographics Library.
I promise it will be stimulating (tons of infographics to choose from).
The entire premise of this approach is to tailor learning to your needs.
And not to be tied down to any one way of learning.
Unique Learning Needs Quiz in Welcome Kit
What kind of learning needs do you have as a hotel middle manager?
How are you meeting those needs?
Or are you meeting them at all?
Have you considered enrolling in the Financial Skills Academy Membership [coming soon..].
Why should you, you ask?
In the previous behind the scenes update on Membership Dashboard, I talked about a unique benefit.
Just one of the many benefits you will enjoy with our membership.
You will learn about this benefit right now.
I will guarantee that you will not find this benefit elsewhere in any membership.
Enough said....
Without divulging too much, I will let the cat out of the bag for a sneak peek.
Say, you are a:
- new hotel middle manager,
- new business owner or
- a student,
we have a Learner level Membership tailored for you.
And what about that unmatched benefit I talked about?
Yes, of course.
It is one of our star attractions.
They are Mentoring Sessions.
One to one coaching engagements based on your learning needs.
Yet another tool for your professional development.
How exciting is that?
Enough said for now.
Let us now see how you can maximize your learning with the resources at hand.
How to Utilize best your World of Unmatched Benefits
Your Welcome Kit will lead you on to not one but multiple libraries.
We call them collectively as Professional Development Libraries.
For example:
- Premium Content Library
- Premium Courses Library
- Exclusive Video Library
- Ultimate Guides Library
- Ultimate Infographics Library
- Exclusive Podcast Library
- Unique Quiz Library (yes, quizzes)
and finally
- Asset Library (templates, excel file downloads and so on…)
Phew! that is a lot of resources to learn from.
However, professional development is not something to muck around with.
In a later behind the scenes post, I will dive deep into how you can build your entire professional development strategy around these libraries.
The reason is again to focus on you the member.
If you are a visual learner, you can watch videos or browse infographics.
If you are the audio kind, listen to the podcasts.
Want to learn on the go?
Carry podcast or infographic downloads on your smartphone.
Want to test yourself - take any of the Self Test Quizzes.
The Professional Development libraries are set up to accommodate any style of learning you may have.
But they are chosen based on your specific learning needs.
It is not a one size fits all.
Briefly, what do these resources offer?
