🎉 My Skillshare Class Got a Staff Pick!

I’m excited to announce that my latest Skillshare course has been awarded a Staff Pick! This was actually one of my goals for the year and I’m so proud that it’s actually happened.

If you’re wondering what a Staff Pick is, and why it’s a big deal for me, then read on!


🌟 What is a Skillshare Staff Pick?

The Staff Pick badge is a way for the Skillshare team to highlight exceptional classes that go above and beyond to provide students with a valuable, engaging experience. I put everything into my Skillshare classes, and they take so long to create, so it felt amazing to receive this recognition and gave me motivation to continue.

I love teaching on Skillshare as I feel like I’m really helping to make a difference, and that’s all I really want to do. Before teaching on Skillshare, I was a student on the platform, I loved the variety of classes and learnt some valuable skills like how to video edit, which I now do regularly as part of my own courses.

When I started teaching on Skillshare, I looked up to all the teachers with Staff Picks and thought: “Wow, imagine getting that one day.” So for me, this feels like a milestone, proof that showing up consistently, leaning into my own style, and focusing on student experience really does pay off.


💬 My Class: Story-First Social Media

The class that got picked is called Story-First Social Media: Boost Engagement with Authentic Storytelling.

It’s all about helping small business owners, freelancers, and creatives feel more confident with their content by using stories.

In the class, I cover:

  • Why storytelling matters more than ever in the age of AI

  • The 3 types of stories that connect and convert

  • My Hook–Heart–Human framework

  • How to create posts that feel personal, not polished

  • Plus, you get a free worksheet + story prompts to make posting easier


💡 Want to Check It Out?

If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the link to the class. If you’re not a member yet, you can try Skillshare for free for a month.

And if you do watch, I’d love to hear your biggest takeaway, or see your project in the discussion tab.

Thanks for celebrating this win with me 💛 I’m so excited to keep creating more classes and hopefully helping more people feel confident with their marketing.
