WORDS OF LOVE
-
Ilissa Goman"I have been with the OIC for almost a year now and have no plans of leaving! I love that the trainings are always so timely to where I am at in my business. They are also so easy to take in, as they don't go on for multiple hours. Just the right amount of information. Also love that the materials have been well thought out for different learning styles. Thank you Laura for having this amazing community for all of us!"
-
Bre Hamilton"I've learned really simple ways of getting out of my head and figuring out what my brand looks like, stands for, speaks to and teaches."
-
Trezelle Morgain"It's an honor to be a part of OIC. I've learned so much from you and the great community you built with OIC. The way you taught me to believe in the depth of my dreams and it's multi function. I especially loved understanding how to market using visuals."
-
Amy Sparks"The OIC has helped me exhale. I'm a weird, clumsy goofball, and the OIC has helped me realize that letting my goofball out is much better than trying to be someone I'm not. I now know my brand animal and I'm letting the squirrel in me shine through."
-
Tracy Stanger"The OIC was a helpful space for knowledge and inspiration to add visuals to everything that I do and really to think about how others think and try to anticipate their needs even more and be able to serve better. It gave me new tools to play with like when I decided to scrap the Find The Poppy sales page and do something FUN, so instead I grabbed Poppy's markers and started playing, which really helped me break through that business decision block."
-
Bridget Baker"The OIC has helped me look at making my coursework more accessible and to lean into and embrace different learning styles."

O.I.C. Progress is a tool used within the O.I.C. Academy to help members take action. It's now available with mini lessons taken from O.I.C. Academy for those with limited budget and lower capacity. The O.I.C. Academy is a complete view of service design principles with access to all replay and future lessons, allowing you to see all of the options for each task rather than the one most popular option selected for you in O.I.C. Progress each month.
As an analogy, think of O.I.C. Progress like going to a restaurant and getting the daily special delivered to you. O.I.C. Academy is like choosing your food from the whole menu, including specials. Same great taste and chef, different formats. Someone who is too tired to decide what to eat can trust the special. But someone with some capacity and more unique needs would enjoy getting the full menu.
As of now, the cost of shipping is not included. That's something we are hoping to offer in the future!
Yes, if your mailer has not been sent out yet.
No, if the mailer has already been sent out.
You can cancel at anytime, you are not required to finish the whole 12 months if it's not interesting to you anymore.
Each mailer comes with custom suggestions from Laura based on the form you fill out. Feel free to email or mail questions to Laura and she'll reply in your next mailer.
For those with O.I.C. Academy added on, you can direct message Laura within O.I.C. Academy with any questions and she answers within 48 hours. So if having access to a service design expert is important to you, add on the O.I.C. Academy <3
Nope! O.I.C. Progress is a rolling admission. Once you signup and complete your form your 12 month cycle will begin. We don't feel the need to follow a calendar construct here if we don't want to.
The amount of time required depends on your business, your capacity and your resources. Here are the basics:
Each lesson is 5 minutes long
Mailers are sent monthly
The tasks assigned take between 20 minutes to 2 hours - depending on your perfectionism tendencies ;-)
Everything can be broken into smaller pieces. If you select a neurodivergence in time-awareness and prioritizing in your intake form Laura will break down the tasks into even smaller pieces for you within the "big why."
You can take more than a month to complete a task or finish it right away. It's up to your capacity. But each month you'll get a new mailer regardless of whether you finished the previous one as a reminder of your mission.
Yes! Mailers are sent every month as a way to remind "out of sight out of mind" peeps about their mission and goals.
If you finished the task you get a sticker with that mailer.
If you didn't finish your task you won't get that task's sticker until it's submitted.
Each mailer will include all of the stickers you've earned, so you can easily catch up in any season that you have more capacity without having to cancel. Your progress will be recorded.
Nope!!
Service design principles are used for services in business most commonly, but the tools can apply to anything (which is a unique viewpoint but what I'm seeking to prove with these cards).
Anything that you are leading can benefit from service design. Trying to get healthy? This will help. Trying to organize your living situation? This works for that! Parenting a tricky kiddo? This will guide you towards answers.
That's because it's all about observation and asking the right questions while focusing on serving humans (including yourself).
If you are putting a new service together this will help you start with a leg up (prepared).
O.I.C. Progress is designed as a tool to make reaching new goals more attainable, especially for those who need extra reminders, a big why and playfulness to get them out of their own head.
If you can easily make a goal, create a task list and get it done, you probably don't need this.
But if you find yourself working on a million projects, feeling broken at times or wondering why you can't focus on something or take action on it "correctly" then this is for you. It's designed to work with your correct way of doing things for you. We don't force you into the standard "Make a goal, break it down, do it" format. That's not always enough, especially for deep thinkers, empaths, creatives and kaleidoscopic thinkers.
Create what you want to see in the world with O.I.C. Progress Cards.
