But when they meet you right where you need support, they can help you grow from there.
For eighteen months I’ve been teaching Dream Teams with my former students. Dream Teams are training groups of 6 – 12 writers who want to put skills they have learned with me in classes into action in their careers.
The results for students who join the Dream Teams are amazing and, over time, I’ve come to realize why. Members of my Dream Teams have awesome attitudes. They not only expect to be challenged and pushed, after they reach one set of goals they come back asking to be challenged more.
I love working with students who strive to grow, grow, grow in every aspect of their work. Here’s what former Dream Team participants have to say about their experiences:
I’ve found my Dream Team experiences to be some of the best investments of my writing career. Something magical seems to happen during each team experience. Backed by an inspiring and encouraging support system with Christina as coach, I’m making strides in my writing career at a pace that doesn’t seem quite real. ~ Christa H.
Not only did I appreciate the mutual accountability the Dream Team afforded me in achieving my writing goals, but I also enjoyed being part of a community of writers. It has been thrilling to see the bylines of my fellow Dream Teamers alongside mine in different publications. And I’m looking forward to more of that in the future! ~ Lara K.
Being involved in a Dream Team with Christina was extremely beneficial to me. She guided me through the mass-submission process, which helped me get published in numerous publications. ~ Deanne H.
Participating in a Dream Team goes far beyond the actual calls. Your team becomes an incubator for all kinds of fresh ideas, and a source of continuous counsel, support and encouragement to push yourself and your career even further. ~ Lela D.
Hearing other writers talk about their accomplishments is inspiring, and Christina helps to solve the sticky issues that inevitably arise for writers working on the many facets of their platforms. ~ Cindy H.
Writing can be a lonely occupation. The Dream Team experience is helpful in supporting me as I grow my platform. The encouragement, camaraderie and sharing between team colleagues is invaluable. ~ Judy M.
