Self Improvement Program
The "Six Steps to Seeing It Through" is a program I developed for the success of women while working through workplace challenges. Through extensive surveys, research, and interviews, I found a trend in workplace bullying that goes unreported or underreported. Much of the lack of reporting is due to the chance of retaliation in the workplace.
​
As the project creator, designer, and manager, I have created multiple resources for the user in their quest for a healthy mental state at work. These resources were based on desired needs from potential users, and people who have experienced these situations in the past.
​
1. Workbook for encouragement and documentation
2. Training module for new professionals
3. Music for meditation and relaxation
4. Webinars for interactive communication in real time
5. App for user accountability and reporting

Personas and the Journey
"I am so tired of being hopeful for jobs, to then, just get discouraged because of how I am treated. I am qualified, I bring so much to the table, but my ideas are ignored and certain people act like they do not understand me. I have quit jobs in the past because I did not feel valued or taken seriously, but I worked hard for this one and I am not leaving. However, I am miserable and stressed everyday."
-Jodie 34, years old.
"This particular job I had made me feel like I was on eggshells. I could not do anything right, even though I tried really hard. I do not believe I was given the right tools to be successful, and this was possibly on purpose. I did not have proof and the one time I complained, HR made me look like I was the problem. I gave up and moved on."
-Ashe, 29 years old

App Prototype for Healing, Support, and Guidance
The first task of the app is to help the user understand how to use the app with the assistance of their coach. It also explains the award system (badges) and how to communicate with their coach.
The second task is designed to teach the user how to "focus or hold" certain activities involved with their growth. The app entitled, "Six Steps" has six focus areas that promote healing and growth within the individual user.
The third task demonstrates how to earn badges and rewards for consistent participation from the user. It also encourages accountability and reporting, two important aspects of the app and program.
