I want to thank my husband and Producer, Jason Benhoff. He did an excellent job on the animated scenarios for this course and was very careful in choosing the color palette and overall design. We are facing a new phase for our business in 2021 and I would not be able to focus solely on authoring if it were not for him.

This year is starting off with a bang and we are just getting started! There was a lot of content I had to cut from this course which I will cover in a series of blog posts and YouTube videos on mental health in the workplace. We also have a lot of projects planned for this year and we are very excited to be able to focus on producing learning content in 2021. Stay tuned!
