Anchored ID Process

It’s time to transform your process as an instructional designer and claim your spot as the expert at the table.

Figuring out how to manage a learning and development project all on your own is challenging...

For a long time, I was in your shoes. No matter how many blogs and articles I was reading,

I couldn't figure out how to manage a project.

Over time, eventually, I got better at my job. In 2018, after spending 7 years freelancing full-time AND working full time I had to make a decision to either stay as an internal practitioner or go full-time freelance. I decided for me, being a full-time freelancer was the best option.

But let me be clear…this is NOT a story or course about freelancing.

After my first year of freelancing, I ended up with a full learning and development agency. I remember thinking “how did this happen?” It felt like it happened on accident…

After successfully delivering my first big project on my own, I realized I wanted MORE of this. But I knew, if I had any chance of not only repeating but growing these results year after year, I needed to develop a repeatable process.

After a while, I realized I had it all along in front of me. It was my process that every client walks through whenever they sign a project with Anchored Training.

Introducing…

The Anchored Instructional Design Process

The Course to Help You
TRANSFORM Your Process as an ID

Hey friend! I’m Vanessa Alzate, the Founder, and CEO of Anchored Training and The Anchored ID Collective. I help instructional designers like you transform into well-rounded experts in the field who earn that seat at the table amongst their dream clients.

I have a passion for passing along what I believe to be the “secret sauce” in this industry…

Being a well-rounded, successful instructional designer that people are waiting in line to work with involves not only being great at your craft but being a great project manager who can take a project from inception through delivery, and have a skill in relationship building making the right connections to get you at that table.

And that is exactly what we are covering inside the 8-week Anchored ID Process Course!

FACT: Your customers, whether they are internal or external, want you to walk them through a process that is tried and true that will be able to get them from point A to point Z. They want YOU to own the project. Having a repeatable process will help you get there.

FACT: If you are changing how you start and work through each stage of your project, you will NEVER get to the point where you can really predict how long projects will take you, estimate project hours, put together a project plan, etc. Developing a process can help you break this habit.

FACT: You can be the best damn expert in ID, BUT if you can't manage a project properly you will NEVER get that seat. Developing a process can help you create a reliable project management system.

Here’s the thing friend, while the deliverables may be different, the actual process and how you take your clients from from A to B should be the same with each and every project that comes into your pipeline, and THIS is what helps you claim your seat at the table.

So friend, let's help you get that seat, and help you get out of anxiety and overwhelm.

Because you know what happens when you finally know how to manage and work through an instructional design project with ease?

  • You get hit with projects left and right and you don't need to freak out. You know how long projects will take and can scope and provide initial timelines within minutes.

  • You gain a reputation of being THE go-to person for ID/training projects, and you build your personal brand. And you know what happens when you build your personal brand? YOU GET REMEMBERED. Past clients bring you back when they need you, and colleagues who moved to other companies call you with new opportunities, which means MORE MONEY!

  • You spend less time stressing about how many hours something is going to take, creating a project plan, and how you are going to tell your boss or client you need an extension on your deadline…

  • You are exactly where you want to be.

Listen, not that I am not grateful for all of the experiences that have lead me to this point in my business, even the not-so-great experiences, but it took me a long time to develop this process. It has gone through years and years of adjusting and perfecting and now, I am so excited to be sharing this process to help you see success sooner rather than later!

Imagine being able to skip all this individual work and jump ahead by using a proven system that has given me a 7 figure business and has clients coming back for more work year after year in just 8 weeks…

What some of our past Anchored ID Collective students are saying…

  • Jennifer, Freelance Instructional Designer

    “Vanessa is so easy to work with. She is a wealth of information. Her New Year, New ID course was really helpful in getting me to think through my goals, values, and branding. I continually reach for her cover letter outline. I never really got the point of writing cover letters until she shared her outline. Now they make so much more sense and I write one for nearly all the jobs I apply for.”

  • Lauren, Freelance ID

    I decided to join New Year New ID (now names Destination ID), after watching a couple of Vanessa’s YouTube videos. The free content she was putting out was so helpful, that I knew that investing in the program would be worth it. After the first couple of sessions, I was so happy I joined. The personalized feedback Vanessa provided was so helpful because it forced me to be reflective and pushed me to grow. I loved the weekly resources and the workbook that went along with each topic. This program is definitely worth it if you are just starting off in Instructional Design or if you are needing the extra push to move your new business forward!

Give me the FAQs…

Q: Do I need to be a seasoned instructional designer?

A: While you don’t need 10 years of experience you DO need some ID background. You need to know the basic terminology and have done some sort of work in the field.

Q: Will this course teach me the technology?

A: No. This course will not teach you the technology it is about the PROCESS.

Q: What if I can't make the call live?

A: No worries everything is recorded

Q: Can I use the materials developed here for my portfolio?

A: HELL YES! I would love that! You'll be able to create an entire portfolio from scratch!

Q: Is this only for freelancers?

A: No! I have worked with SO many orgs you would think have their process together and don't. So this content can totally be used as an internal practitioner. So if you have some professional development budget to spend, this would be a good place to spend it. You can even work on a work project!

Q: I think I’m in, I just have one or two more questions, can I email you?

A: Yes! You can email us at info@anchoredidcollective.com, or you can also send Vanessa a message on the ‘gram @vanessaanchored.
