I spend weeks creating a stunningly beautiful classroom to look at. With every classroom header being on-brand and color-coordinated plus AI-generated images & infographics inside those thumbnails to explain the content with one view, which cost me an average of 20 min each to prompt and edit. Problem: Only I loved it. Not many members used them. After working through Brenda's classroom here with super clear alignment of the classroom and the engagement levels - numbered! Dah!!! - I have opened up here through my engagement; I went back into my own classroom and looked at it NOT through my neurodivergent artist brain's eyes, which needs lots of colors and visuals to stay awake and not get bored, but rather through the neurotypical brains' eyes of most of my members. I realized: 𝗠𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺: - Was too busy - Thumbnails had too much information - Big fonts competed with AI-generated rich images - No numbers, no clear order - Most were not connected to the engagement levels/leaderboard and lacked incentive and perceived value to get into 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀, 𝗺𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘢'𝘴 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘮. Some of the AI images I moved into the classroom because they truly communicate the content well. Overall, it is much simpler, clearer, easier to follow, and easier to understand. Is it as artsy, abundant, and colorful as my personal taste likes it? No. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. And 24 hours later, looking with fresh eyes at it, 𝗜 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹. Because the path for my clients, and with that my work and next steps, are clearer for me as well. Instead of a messy, beautiful abundance, I now have a strategic, clear path for my members AND myself. Thank you, Brenda, for the many moments in recent weeks when I realized through your YouTube videos, your daily gems, or your classroom design that my ego was in the way of the success of my members and my business. You are a powerful role model and teacher.
