Are Instructional Designers Happy? Hear from 3 IDs

Are you looking for an instructional design role that can bring you better work-life balance? Start working on the transition today with the free Become an ID checklist: https://www.devlinpeck.com/become-an-...

"Will I be really able to find purpose in what I do?"
"Is the work-life balance really that much better?"
"Can I really get my health and happiness back on track?"

We hear these questions all the time!

Which is why this video, Sabrina Gonzales interviews Tanya Stillman, Celina Bertoncini, and Sean Anderson to hear from them: does a career in instructional design really lead to better work-life balance?

These designers give us an insider's perspective on if it's possible to prioritize your mental health, if you can make an impact in a corporate space, and whether or not they feel they can still be their authentic selves in their current ID role.

Plus, they share about how life has changed since they transitioned to ID and what challenges they've overcome through the process.

And some of their answers may surprise you...
