Episode notes
Cohort Courses Built Around Practice
- Teresa describes Product Talk Academy's original cohort-based, instructor-led courses built around deliberate practice.
- She explains the continuous interviewing course (since 2017) as an example that meets weekly and focuses on practicing interviewing skills.
Break Courses Into Reusable Components
- Teresa breaks continuous interviewing into three teachable components you can separate: story-based interviewing, interview snapshots, and recruiting automation.
- Splitting content enables offering individual on-demand courses alongside cohort options.
Design Problem Sets For Practice
- Don't assume on-demand can't teach deep skills; reimagine deliberate practice into problem sets and focused exercises.
- Design bite-sized practice tasks that map to core skills instead of long passive videos.
