Corporate Curveball
Demo: https://jodisdemos.s3.amazonaws.com/469+ID/story.html
The title of this challenge seemed different from the description, so I went with the exact moment in corporate America I was told to be an ID. That was in 2001, and although the moment was upsetting to me (as I was a Marketing Director and had a long career in marketing, sales and advertising that I loved) it ended up being a great life vector change for me. Here's how I remember the moment. :)

- Ron_Katz3 months agoCommunity MemberLoved this, Jody. The title and video production are superb.
- JodiSansone3 months agoCommunity MemberThank you all for the comments. Looking back, "2001 Jodi" was not happy with the change that came, but "2024 Jodi" is very pleased with how things turned out. If I hadn't been given that assignment, I never would have met all the kind and supportive people in this community.
- Samuel3 months agoCommunity MemberWow. You'll have to let us know how it went :)
- NickMorrison3 months agoCommunity MemberWow - that sounds like a very stressful transition for sure!
You know it's funny as I often look at ID and learning in general as a sales/marketing problem. I try to put myself in the learner's perspective, in so much as "what's in it for me?".
Usually there is a problem (pain) that needs to be highlighted and my training is the solution (relief from the pain).
Sometimes it leads to very creative and fun outputs that really ups the buy-in.
(Let's face it - most people really only care about themselves anyway...) ;)
All that to say they likely made a great pic when selecting you to spearhead their new learning hub initiative! Judging by the time that's passed since - you've excelled in the field!
