PORTFOLIO

PRAISE

Julia Nalani Adams, School of Healing and Development

“Working with Jenny Alton is a wonderfully refreshing and collaborative experience. I have worked with Jenny on two projects. And when it came time for me to begin my new project requiring in depth technical support, advice, guidance and know-how, Jenny was my first choice, my ‘go-to’ person. This project, to develop an Online Schoolhouse as a platform from which we can preserve and share our Traditional Teachings of 50+ Generations, is complex and has many moving parts.

The Online Schoolhouse is not simply about offering or curating Online Courses. We have many elements to consider, including culturally correct and precise practices which need to be embedded within every aspect of the online presence. The Online Schoolhouse is Schools within Schools. Each of the ‘schools’ has different requirements and similar but different audiences with differing learning needs. We are not about cookie-cutter, online learning experiences with the primary outcome of revenue generation.

We offer internationally-recognised, culturally and educationally robust learning programs and short courses for Healing Practitioners, Wellness Practitioners and Seekers of Personal Development. Our offer includes Online and Face to Face Training Programs, Short Courses, Memberships, Podcasts, Blogs, Online 1:1 Student Support, Affiliate Programs as well as collaborations with other Cultural Learning Providers. The scope of work that Jenny as developed with us includes all of the front-end and back-end processes so we can take our offering to our market and manage it ourselves.

Jenny committed herself to learning about our Project and what we are aiming to achieve. In doing so she correctly interpreted our studentsʻ learning journey, drawing on her deep knowledge of the various learning and delivery strategies, mechanisms, levers and technologies to work with us as SME’s – we also have an extensive background in Learning & Development, Organisational Development and Instructional Design, so our standards are high and informed.

Jenny brings exceptional agility, creative problem-solving, high quality outputs, learner/customer-centredness, project management, patience, communication and relational abilities. She will go deep into researching, enquiring to find and put forward solutions to non-linear speedhumps that require abstract thinking. As a start-up in a crowded marketplace, where we are competing against Providers of low-quality, low price courses, Jenny is instrumental in helping us to create modern, engaging and responsive eLearning training solutions.

That’s all the technical dimensions of Jenny’s expertise. What is invaluable is Jenny’s personal and professional demeanor. Her personal attributes and qualities that make her a stand-out. Kind, generous with time and knowledge, patient, resilient, collaborative, willing to listen and tease things out, relentless energy (our HQ is in Australia, so she’s had to manage delivery across a different time zone), tenacious – going so far beyond what we could possibly afford to pay for to ‘make it happen,’ she’s all heart and brings ease, grace and good humour to her work with us.

These are the qualities that are priceless and not easily quantified. But you can see the result of them when you visit our Online Schoolhouse: www.spiritualhealingcourses.com. Jenny is part of the fingerprint of ‘SoHAD Spirit.’ With her help, the SoHAD – School of Spirituality, Healing & Development – a start-up Social Enterprise, has been born. With her help, we are creating our Legacy for the Generations to come.”

Kami Orange, Boundary Coach

“My favorite aspect of working with Jenny is how much I can trust her.

I trust her to be reliable in doing what she says she will do. I trust her to be consistent in showing up on long-standing projects (we’ve worked together for months with weekly commitments). I trust her to communicate if things need clarifying or shifting around on scope or timeline. I trust her to exceed expectations every time.

She does beautiful work and I LOVE PAYING HER because it’s always 3-5x more value than the money!!

Jenny is a rockstar and I’m deeply grateful she is part of my business! Highly recommended – I give her ALL THE STARS!!”

Erin Garcia, Business Coach for Women

“It has been super easy working with you. The process was super smooth. Communication was a breeze. And the end results are beyond my vision. The images are all really professional, clean and totally on brand, and I really appreciate your attention to detail.”

Loren North, Stylist and Style Educator

“I could never have done this myself nor edited the videos to tell a story. I’m too caught up in my own business to see the story that is there. I loved the editing–how you broke apart very long detailed videos into short snippets that were meaningful. And I love how you mapped it out for me on a proposed webpage design. I think your name says it all–Creative. It’s not just video editing, it’s not just web design, etc. You really do have a creative spin to your work which is valuable.”
