Supercharge your teaching game with the magic of visual frameworks with Rory Vaden

If you have a digital course, and are an expert in what you teach (but struggle with actually teaching it), then one of the biggest pieces of advice I can give you is to take your content and put it into a framework. 

What’s a framework, you ask? Think of a framework like a roadmap or a well-constructed skeleton for your thoughts. It allows you to break down intricate concepts into manageable, comprehensible pieces for your audience.

If you’ve been listening for a while, you’ve probably even heard me say something like “I have a framework for that”! because I’ve found that using them has made me a much more effective teacher. 

Most importantly, teaching in frameworks has helped my students understand and apply my content better.

Like anything, there’s an art and science to creating frameworks. Enter: My guest for this episode, Rory Vaden.

Rory is an expert when it comes to helping entrepreneurs find their uniqueness, create captivating content, and a world class presentation craft -- and in this episode, he shares the A to Z playbook on creating content frameworks.

You’ll learn:

• Why teaching in frameworks is so crucial to being an effective educator 


• An A to Z process on how to create effective content frameworks


• 7 questions you can ask yourself to help you generate ideas for frameworks 


• How to become “unstuck” on framework ideas and them quickly
