Your new Go-To Guides to Creating Coaching & Workshops
Designing and delivering coaching and workshops is both an art and a science. It’s often a huge challenge. To help, we teamed up with some of the leading community voices and our in-house experts. The result is your two new supportive guides. So it’s technically two new features here, but all the better.
Both guides give you practical Portrait breakdowns, activities to use, worksheets and templated session plans with tips and step-by-step videos to use across any development experience you’re running.
From short one-to-one coaching catch ups to full day workshops for the masses, we’ve included something for everyone to help get the most from Lumina Spark.
We’re excited for you explore the new guides and we hope they’ll make designing and delivering personal development simpler, smarter, and more impactful for your learners.
Open Badges – your shiny official qualification certificate
Your Open Badge (or badges if you’re qualified beyond Lumina Spark) helps showcase your skillset in a well presented, digitally focused and verified way. Whether you’re newly qualified in one of our tools, or looking to highlight your existing credentials, they’re a great way to sharpen up your personal brand and show what you do.
Now a popular standard feature of many learning management systems, Open Badges (which also go by the name of ‘micro-credentials’) are visual tokens of verifiable achievements earned by recipients and easily shared online and via social media.
More than just a pretty image

- Share your link to take people to your badge’s landing page. with a brief overview of your skillset and qualification
- Your badges can be checked and verified by anyone for authenticity, with your details automatically personalised within the badge.
A LinkedIn study found that digital credentials increase profile views by 600% !*

Practitioner Dashboard Refresh & more coming soon
Feel like your Practitioner log-in experience getting a bit tired? We get you, and we’re giving everything a fresh lick of paint and a bit of a general redesign to make things simpler and easier with a few less headaches. We’ve started with a touch-up to your Practitioner Dashboard that is now live, with much more on the way over the next few months.
The design team are chipping away on making your entire Practitioner login experience more intuitive to navigate and more accessible to explore the features useful to you. And likewise, much more pleasing to the eye.
From setting up projects, to finding available resources, and billing & subscriptions, it’s all in the plan. We’re looking forward to showing you around the new layout so you can crack on with everything Lumina related that you’re logging in.
The new Dashboard is also where you can find your new coaching & workshops guides and your Open Badges too!
