By choosing to teach nonprofit boards, Christina Becker has had to build an unorthodox business model. Her students are usually not the purchasers, and her courses are taken by teams. Tune in to find out how this road less traveled led to success.
Christina Becker is a nonprofit consultant, trainer, psychotherapist, and the founder of the Canadian Nonprofit Academy.
In this episode, Danny, Abe, and Christina discuss:
Her background and how she came to be a course creator
Balancing two different course businesses
Her course being taken by teams instead of individuals
Delivering very short course video lessons
Roadblocks and iterations
Her business model and reaching her target market
How Christina overcomes resistance from prospects
Why she chose a subscription model
The joy of iterating your course
“Once you create a course, that's not it. It's a dance between your students and yourself and learning new things. And I think that's been really, really fun.”
