Learn how creator Veronica Green is helping educators to incorporate more fun and creativity in their environments for children creating a company that is authentic.

Imagine if young children could lead their own learning, exploring the world through creativity, imagination, and play?

When she realized that traditional techniques of teaching weren't always successful in early childhood education, educator Veronica Green set out to find out the answer to this. And what she discovered revolutionized everything.

Presently, Veronica is an early child consultant, and also the creator of Cultivating confidence  Cultivating Confidence, a company that assists educators in planning engaging activities, understand student behaviors, and build deeper connections through creativity and play.

This is the story of how Veronica used her own experience to be an industry pioneer, and change the way we educate youngsters along the way.

"When I began to learn more about loose parts play I discovered my creative side again."

Prior to when Veronica embarked on her creative journey her life was full of hats as an early childhood educator, and mom to a son that is autistic.

The instructor was operating an accredited program for children in her own home, as well as learning how to handle her son's specific needs. Standard activities weren't cutting it and so Veronica went to the library to discover solutions that were effective both for her students as her son.

The result was the catalyst that led Veronica into "loose parts play," which is a play-led, child-led learning method in which children make use of unique everyday objects and their imagination to make sense of their world, problem solve, explore the world, create, apply different thinking and of course, have fun.

Veronica discovered other ways to teach children which place exploring and curiosity on the top of the list.

The creative ideas, perseverance and determination paid off. Veronica discovered how to recognize her son's ways of communication, as well as his behaviours while providing support to all the children in her care.

"Going through it really changed who I am as an educator as well as a person" Veronica explains. "It helped me see the world differently with new views."

"My son has been my best educator, he has taught me to look at the world in a different way and to stand out from the grain...and have tons of fun along the way," Veronica says on her site . "My son has given me all the things I've learned."

They appreciated her transparency as well as her capacity to create a fun, inclusive learning environment. She thought outside the box in her role as an educator and students thrived. The audience was eager to learn more.

"When I was learning more about loose parts play, I found my creative side again. .... It brought out my creativity when I was in my ECE role. I shared photos and the "whys" behind what we were posting on social media, and others ECEs got involved and even asked questions."

Veronica knew that the educational methods she was studying can help early childhood educators reach many children. She was hoping to one day share her experience on a massive scale.

"I created my first lessonfrom my cell phone at Starbucks after my 10-hour work days and I still have it running."

One of the first items Veronica created was an online program on sensory issues. The course teaches the latest research and personal experiences with working with her son.

"I wrote [my first courseon my mobile in Starbucks after my 10 hour days, and I'm keeping it in the process. The format is the same. I haven't changed it. And people have been able to get a diagnosis and get the assistance they require following the treatment. That just touches me and I'm honored by the fact that it has happened."

The authenticity of Veronica's course made it stand out from others available. By showing the real experiences and challenges of her journey, Veronica helped other families and teachers feel comforted and encouraged.

She explains that early childhood educators often think that they must be "on" every minute of the day and aren't able to express emotions. Her program includes a human aspect by discussing the real issues and the way her family has overcome these challenges.

"A large portion of the time was sharing the journey. I'm eager to share the good as well as some of the less-than-great experiences as that's the place we learnt from." Veronica explains.

As well as her highly successful class, Veronica also offers live seminars which she packages and sells as on-demand replays.

These workshops cover topics like the use of loose play in creating curiosity-driven spaces, which teachers could use to enhance their professional development .

"I like showing up on stage and teaching since I'm more present in the moment. While recording it's like I get too involved in my thoughts, and I forget the words I'm saying. .... However, when I'm talking through Zoom, on a workshop I'm at ease. I've got my notes. I'm good to go. Also, I think my content is more effective that way."

In the next installment, we'll examine the methods Veronica utilizes her business to manage her company from behind.

"[] created more time for me to focus on my business instead of trying to figure out my business's problems."

The creators must have a safe location to manage the nuts and bolts of running a business. Let Veronica simplify her tools, keep her organized, and worry less on technical problems.

"I did not want to spend all of my time thinking about how to market something. "With this method, I'm able to just go in and make a product," Veronica says.

Educational professionals can order Veronica's materials from her website, without having to change apps. After they have signed into their account to access the resources and access them, the interface is based on Veronica's branding to create a cohesive professional design.

"Customer experience is very important. I wanted [things to be simple]. Early childhood teachers are fatigued. Most times, ECEs have to do personal development in their own. In a majority of instances, this is not paid. It's therefore crucial they have a simple time," Veronica emphasizes.

"It has solved many of the major problems that I had tech-wise, and it created more time to concentrate at my company instead of trying to solve my business's issues. This is massive. I didn't realize how much time I spent [troubleshooting] until I finally was able to move everything across."

Coming up, we'll look at various methods Veronica has achieved success in her career and share her advice for aspiring creators.

"For the first three years in my business, it was just about producing content. Today, I do not need to make additional. It's important to maximize it."

When it comes to the creation of content Veronica is aware that the more you create, the better. She has a message for creators: you don't have to stay at the wheel continuously releasing new content.

For Veronica she is less concerned with quantity and more about quality.

"I do not feel that I should have 200 blog entries . This is too many. Nobody's going to see them. If I've got 30-50 pieces of content, that's a amount. You can always refresh. It is possible to change my mind... My use that to keep my creativity flowing."

"I'm all about repurposing the content. Always. Every single video I've made ..., is used to the max."

Repurposing content is the process of take one piece of creative work and adapt it to different channels and mediums.

"I'm obsessed with recycling content. Always. Every video I've created, ..., it's been used in the most effective way," she explains.

"I recently created a YouTube video  which originated from a text blog post that has done very well .... It's time to embed that video onto the blog. After that, I post stuff on my social media channels about the video. I pull out videos, I take out quotes, then I share photos, and then I create carousels .... And then I email my followers about it."

Veronica emphasizes that creators shouldn't get pressured into creating new content when they can typically repurpose material they already possess in new ways. When you reformat existing content it is possible to work more efficiently, not harder.

"I believe that everybody in our digital society says you've to create new content every week. For me, as an artist I'm too exhausted to do that. When I feel inspired to create something, it's going to be fantastic. If I'm not motivated and not motivated, the result won't be great. If I have one new video or blog post up a month, I'm good with it."

But there is one aspect Veronica does every week, whether it's raining or shining and that is to send a message to her email list.

"I've been consistent emailing every once a week since I set it as a top priority above everything else and it's significant."

When she decided to start selling workshops, she observed how business owners of other businesses attracted new clients.

Since the beginning, word-of-mouth as well as social media have proven to be significant growth engines to Veronica's wish list. The website also provides various lead magnets for free designed for her ideal audience.

Since people have to sign up for your email list for your lead magnet, everyone benefits. Creators draw subscribers interested in their area of expertise, and individuals learn something new.

Since the beginning of the one year Veronica has made it an effort to send out emails to her subscribers every week. The PDF newsletter was discarded. newsletter, and has now written out of her heart.

"Now I am using my weekly email as a creative outlet. My Mondays are when I write to start my week off writing my Sunday email to be sent out for the following week. I make a list of the content I'd like to compose and then I simply create from my own thoughts. It's the way I take my writing seriously and improve to improve my writing. I feel like it's more real. It's me."

Authenticity is at the core of Veronica's work, and the emails she sends out every week are no one-off.

"Carve the space you need to develop your skills."

One of Veronica's biggest tips to be successful? Make time to practice your skills.

Be careful not to get too involved in managing your company that you lose sight of the reason you began. Enjoy the subjects you're teaching and deepening your understanding.

"Carve out that space to work on your craft, whatever it is," Veronica advises. "When you first start a business, you do not practice the work you've been doing. The majority of the time, you spend your time managing your business rather than doing the work."

Not to mention, Veronica stresses how crucial the need to take your own route . Don't let comparisons and outside opinion lead you out of the goal you're trying to reach.

"Listen to what people discuss and share the information, but remember to take it as a smidgen of a tidbit," she explains. "You do not know what's taking place behind the scenes. You don't know the size of their staff of. There's no way to know the amount of budget they must put into marketing. It's impossible to know any about that. It's just some of the details, and you don't know the full background."

"That analogy can actually cause you to slow down and hinder you from moving forward. Pay attention to the story. Ask yourself: what could I use this to my situation? Don't be compelled to replicate it exactly the same simply because it did for them."

This circles back to the suggestions of Veronica about creating content and establishing a workflow which is suitable for your needs.

When the digital marketing world suggested she publish something new every week, Veronica tried it -- but decided it wasn't the right choice for her business. In fact, she was unable to make money since she would spend all day producing material.

Now, Veronica has honed her method of operation. She makes fewer pieces of content each month, but she never sacrifices quality. All of her work is focused on increasing revenue, increasing her reach and getting her work to the attention of incredible early childhood teachers.

"It took me a lengthy period of time to get rid of everything people tell me to do. I lost my own voice through the process," she recalls.

"You must figure out what you can do to make this experience be a success for you. Everyone has personal things going on. And everybody's journey is so distinct. You will get there. You must believe in yourself. It's true. There's a chance you'll doubt it. It's going to be a resounding annoyance. It's time to end it But you have to believe it."

In the present, Veronica is making a important contribution to early childhood education through mixing her expertise in the field with her own personal stories.

She's created her company according to her own rules and is focused on quality over volume, recycling content, nurturing her email list, and carving out an area to engage to her passion.

Veronica has helped numerous educators serve their students better We know that she's just starting. We're eager to find out where her imagination and drive will lead her to next.
