☂️ April showers bring….exciting Coach updates & announcements from our team! 🌸 As always, if you have any feedback or suggestions about content you’re interested in for this newsletter, please let us know!
Coach Platform News
✨New Activity✨ “Should I apply?”: This activity is immediately available to all learners and helps them evaluate whether a specific job opportunity is a fit for key criteria like salary, qualifications, and availability. Let us know what you think!
🔒 Updated Quick Start Guide: We’ve revamped this resource to walk Advisor roles through best practices when using Coach activities and assignments. Check it out and let us know if you have any feedback!
- 🔥 Start Chatting Faster: We’ve added a general question chat to Coach’s homepage so learners don’t have to know what to ask before getting started. They can just say hi! (Side note: Yes, I am in a rebuilding season for my Coach streak! 💪)
