Want to teach online?

impact Online Business Management works with business owners and organization leaders to transition the delivery of their education programs from in-person to online so they have more freedom, income potential and impact.   

the people you serve need your vision to come true

If you're like many business owners and organization leaders you have a strategic plan that outlines the future you want but it's a struggle to make progress.  The right things never seem to get done, or at least you're not aware of it. You don't see obstacles until they appear because you are too busy reacting to problems or changes. You can't find the time to focus on the work that will actually help you move the needle closer to the future you want.  Your team, if you have one, does not have the time to take on one more of the many projects piling up on the side of their desk; and, if you are completely honest, you are not 100% confident these will help you achieve your strategy.  

Or maybe the intern or assistant you just hired really is not fully equipped to lead projects yet and you just don't have the time to train or develop them! And to make matters worse, the processes that would help them step in and hit the road running do not exist...so you end up doing it yourself because it's sooo much easier and you know it will be done right.    

Realizing Your vision Should Not Be So Hard!

Imagine instead you and your team were focused on the right things because the destination was clear, they knew why it was important and was clear on who was responsible for what. The path to the destination was mapped and visible to all. The issues the team experienced were transparent so that you could focus your time on removing obstacles in a timely manner. Your team had the capacity to think ahead, identify what is required to successfully implement your strategic goals and know who to work with to ensure things stay on course. Also, the benefits each project expected to deliver is bringing you one step closer to the future you envision.

What would it mean to you if you could:
a) Be regarded as a leader that creates a social impact by improving the lives of the people you serve?
b) Be the visionary that proactively removes the obstacles getting in the way of pursuing important opportunities that help achieve your program's vision, mission and business goals?
c)  Create an environment where your team is empowered to grow your online education program? 

how I help you teach online

I work with you to develop the plans, processes, people and technology needed to teach online but unlike others that only focus on one aspect of the transition such as the digital marketing or the technology setup, I focus on all the work required to successfully plan, manage and integrate your online education program into your business. 

Assess the NEED

Before time and effort is spent building a new digital product (course, membership or coaching program), we create a business plan that looks at what you and your customer need to be successful in an online learning environment.  

Plan the Work

Once you decide that you're ready to transition online,  we plan ahead by identifying the right work that needs to be done, by the right people with the right process to deliver the program and integrate the new digital product successfully into your business operations.   

Equip the Project

To ensure the transition is set up for success, we help you hire the people, set up the processes, and choose the technology that will enable you to launch your online course, membership or coaching program with ease.

Why Trust Marianne?

   The struggle of holding yourself accountable to plan the work and then implementing it is real!  I have spent the last twenty years of my career helping my client's and employers turn their vision into reality using project management to hold them and their team's accountable for the results they wanted to achieve.  I have also spent the last five years learning the ins and outs of online business so I could have the lived experience of launching my own online programs and services which better enable me to support others with launching their online education programs.  When you work with me, I will apply the lessons I have learned from my own experience as well as the experience of other business owners in my online business network so that your transition to online education is as smooth as possible.

I believe in you

I don't just believe your vision matters, I know you have what it takes within you to turn your vision of teaching online into reality.

I see your strengths

Mid-way through my career I found myself in a job I hated. I was good at what I did, but I was not enjoying my work.  I found a way to use my unique strengths and do what I love on my own terms and I want you to be able to focus on your strengths too.

I understand what it is like to feel like you're continually getting ready to launch an online education product because I have spent the last three years immersed in learning and experiencing the ups and downs of launching online courses, memberships and coaching programs.
