What you walk away with

A Translation Portfolio.

Every exercise feeds one working document you keep—not notes you'll never reopen. By Module 5 it's done.

  • Your Chaos Inventory—the production moments that prove your range.
  • Your skill groups mapped to corporate language.
  • A story bank of proof, built for interviews and pitches.
  • Reframed resume bullets and a personal logline.

This is the foundation.

It changes how you see your own experience—the shift from "I'm just a coordinator" to "I managed resources, risk, and stakeholders under conditions most corporate PMs never face." That shift is what makes every resume rewrite and interview actually work.

Included with the course

Plus—bonuses.

Production-to-corporate translation at a glance. What it looked like on set. What corporate calls it. Keep it open while you rewrite bullets.

From people who took it

Don't just take it from me.

It taught me in a couple afternoons what I spent three years and $5,000 learning in a PM certificate—that much of what I did as a production coordinator is what project managers do. I just didn't know the jargon.

Natty M.Film & TV

I didn't feel like I had to pretend I was someone else for the resume or the job. Amanda made it so clear that I was more than enough.

Arash M.Sports Broadcasting

She helped me put words to what I already knew, and positioned my background in a way that feels marketable across a much broader range of opportunities.

None of those other things start where this starts—with actually believing the translation. Without that, the resume rewrite is a paint job on a house you're not sure you own.

Before you talk yourself out of it

Course questions, straight answers.

Can't I just use ChatGPT to translate my resume?
You can. But if you don't believe the words it gives you, you'll fold the second someone asks about them. AI can hand you "stakeholder management." This course makes you believe it—because you should.
How long does it take?
About 4–6 hours of video plus your exercise time. Some people do it in a weekend, some over a couple weeks. You go at your own pace.
Do I need to know what role I want?
No. Module 3 helps you find where your strengths show up in real roles—you'll leave with a filter you can apply to any job description.
I've only been in production a few years. Is it still for me?
Yes. Even a few years in, you've managed chaos at a level most corporate professionals never face. The frameworks work whether you have 3 years or 15.
Will it actually get me hired?
No course can promise that, and I won't pretend otherwise. What it gives you is clarity about what you bring, the vocabulary to describe it, and the confidence to own it. Those were the missing pieces—and they're fixable.

Who's teaching

Amanda Schultz

Founder, Scene Change · Former TV Producer · Big 4 Consultant

A decade in production—Big Brother Canada, the Junos, live events—before moving into project management across healthcare, tech, and now consulting for a Big 4 firm.

When she landed her first corporate gig, she realized the skills she'd used in production were the same ones colleagues were paid six figures to develop. She'd been doing all of it. She just never had the language. This course is the one she wishes she'd had.
