About Damien
Damien Herlihy is both a teacher and a learner of languages. Currently, he serves as the Director of Studies at Trat English Community.
Why Notion Mastery?
Damien was in the process of relocating to Australia and needed a solution to run the school remotely. Many of their systems were reliant on being physically present and were built on a range of tools sticky-taped together. Information was siloed between roles as well.
Damien needed a course that could transition him from being a user of Notion templates to a builder of a workspace for a school of ten staff.
Since Joining the Program
The Notion Mastery course allowed him to built a tailored system that facilitated remote management of the school.
“In some ways—with the help of Notion and the system I created in Notion Mastery—it runs even better than when we were there in person!”
The new system streamlined information sharing, making it easy to distribute SOPs and curriculum, while providing individual workspaces for staff, improving efficiency and communication.
Damien also notes the time-saving benefits, which have allowed him more personal time for family and community volunteer work. Additionally, the custom CRM built in Notion helped the school achieve its highest student numbers ever by effectively tracking leads and retaining potential new students.
Damien’s Advice to Anyone Thinking of Joining Notion Mastery
“If you want to progress from Notion templates to Notion Architect, this course is for you. I believe if you run a small business, this course can have an incalculable impact on your operations. The goal of NM was to create the best online learning experience, and they hit that benchmark.
Out of all the online courses I’ve taken, THIS course has given me the most tangible results for me personally and professionally. If you are on the fence, take the course, you won’t regret it.”
The monthly meet-ups I attended with Ben and Marie were invaluable. Whenever I encountered a problem in my builds I got to rebound ideas off people who are the best at what they do!
The Best Bits
Damien found the learning pathways, the ability to build all components himself, and the monthly meet-ups with experts most valuable about the Notion Mastery program. He appreciated how these elements helped him transition from a user to a confident builder, enabling him to manage his school and personal life more effectively with Notion.
