Bio

Spoken Lives: Stories Women Share was founded in 2015 by Elizabeth after a late life divorce. It's a speaker series and 5 women share their stories at events, online. Our target audience are women over 40 years of age. The speakers share their powerful personal stories of adventure or resilience. Elizabeth curates stories that inspire and offer life learnings. Our speakers are so grateful to share these personal stories. The listeners see themselves in the stories and gain a deeper understanding of womenkind.

We used to host live events in several locations. We've moved online during the Pandemic and hope to keep a stream online after (if we can build the audience) the lockdown lifts.

Analyzing Survey Data on Caring for an Ex

Spoken Lives: Stories Women Share is seeking to gain meaningful insights from a survey of 500 individuals who answered closed-ended questions about their thoughts about caring for an ex-partner (someone they lived with for over a year). The goal of this project is to analyze the survey data to identify patterns, trends, and significant findings that can be used to inform a new book. The project will involve data cleaning, statistical analysis, and the creation of visual representations of the data. This analysis will help to understand the emotional and other impacts of caring for an ex-partner, providing valuable content for the book. We also got to interview people who had already had this experience. Key tasks include:- Data cleaning and preparation- Statistical analysis to identify key trends and patterns- Creation of visual data representations (charts, graphs)- With Author, interpretation of findings in the context of the book's themes

Digital Marketing Strategy for Online Course

Elizabeth Verwey has created an online course and wants students to help us develop a digital marketing strategy to grow and engage our target market. We’d like to know how we can maximize different channels and what will work best for us. After selling licenses to open other locations for 5 years, I realized that an online course would be a better way to get this valuable information out into the world. The main questions we’d like students to help us answer are the following:How should we promote our course and company?What social media channels should we utilize?What budget is appropriate for advertising?What messaging should we use?This is the first online course of an established brand and we already have a community who will help spread the word. Our plan is to launch in 2022.
