SKILLS: A Community for Online Learning & Accelerated Growth
Join a facilitated professional community designed to help you learn, practice, share and complete tasks and strategies to propel your vegan or plant-based business to the next level.
Online Training Designed for Vegan and Plant-Based Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, Leaders, Freelancers and Marketing Specialists!
Today, more than ever before, vegan business owners and entrepreneurs are being challenged to reposition themselves in their communities and the marketplace.
Instead of taking this journey alone, we invite you to join a group of like-minded peers to gain and give support every step of the way.
Learn at your own pace, join a chat room to gather feedback, or participate in community challenges to take specific actions and get results.
Our goal with the SKILLS Community is to create an active learning experience where you can network and leverage the support provided to become more efficient and move your business forward.
Fully Committed To
Building Your SKILLS
The SKILLS Online Training Community is a subscription-based all-access pass that offers training, challenges, activities, workshops, best practices, and daily support in one central location.
Whether you are working on digitizing your business, improving your marketing skills, developing a new website, or streamlining your tech (or any number of other business tasks), you can get the information and support you need when you need it.
What can you find in the SKILLS Online Training Community? Along with delivering actionable content that can impact your business, one of our priorities is providing students with the support they need to apply what they are learning to their business.
- People Who Understand You -- To achieve growth and success, you need motivation, direction, and knowledge. The SKILLS Community is a place where like-minded people—people like you—come together to support one another. With Accountability Groups, Quiet Working Sessions, and regular activities, we bring you together in meaningful and productive ways.
- Community Challenges -- Each month we offer 3-, 5- or 7-day challenges. Our challenges help build community and shared experiences by providing opportunities for everyone in the Vegan Mainstream Skills community to learn and execute a concept simultaneously.
- 2-Hour Live Class Experiences -- Live Class Experiences are designed to introduce you to key course concepts and provide tips for success with the SKILLS Online Training Community in a classroom-type setting. In these 2-hour live training lectures, you can join Stephanie and fellow class members to walkthrough various course lessons. (Each month a Live Class Experience will be provided for a different course topic, on a rotating basis). If you crave a more traditional teaching approach, you are going to love these monthly sessions.
- Deep-Dive To Learn More -- We believe in lifelong collaborative learning. To help you on your journey, we have created a library where every SKILLS community member can share their wisdom and resources. With Rabbit Hole, Sunday Reads, and Case Study activities and content, we are learning together.

How Vegan Mainstream Courses Are Different
We love online learning because it makes valuable training accessible to vegan business owners and entrepreneurs all over the world. But we know that sometimes you want more. That’s why, along with delivering actionable content that can really impact your business, one of our priorities is providing students with the support they need to make the most of our courses.
Every month we offer a “New Student” Orientation. This is a live session designed to walk new students through the online course system. Attending this session will ensure that you understand all that our platform has to offer and that you get the most out of your investment.
Each month we offer 3-, 5- or 7-day challenges. Our challenges help to build community by providing opportunities for everyone in the Vegan Mainstream community to share the experience of learning and executing a concept at the same time as other members of the group.
Live Class Experiences are designed to introduce you to key course concepts and provide tips for success with the SKILLS Online Training Community in a classroom-type setting.
In these 2-hour training lectures, you will join Stephanie and fellow class members live as Stephanie walks the group through various course lessons. (Each month a Live Class Experience will be provided for a different course topic, on a rotating basis). If you crave a more traditional teaching approach, you are going to love these monthly sessions.
Live Class Experiences happen every month, and are offered on two different days and at two times to accommodate subscribers in different time zones. Subscribers are welcome to join one or both sessions
- On the 4th Thursday of the month from 7:30pm to 9:30pm ET
- On the 4th Friday of the month from 11:30am to 1:30pm ET
Office hours are designed to help you get comfortable with course content, address any obstacles you are facing and provide you with support while you make progress in the training. These sessions are conversational and we host them via Zoom so everyone can be on camera and ask questions easily. LIVE Q&A office-hour sessions occur twice per month.
We are offering two sessions to accommodate multiple time zones.
- On the 1st Thursday of the month at 11:30am ET or 7:30pm ET
- On the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 11:30am ET or 7:30pm ET
Be an active member of our community via Vegan Mainstream chat. We’ve organized conversation threads around common course topics so you can engage with other members who are going through course materials and implementing their learnings at the same time as you are.
This feature of our online training is a powerful way to connect with others in a shared learning setting. If you love it and want to take a course with fellow members, be sure to join a course launch group, which will assure that you will always have others to bounce ideas from and brainstorm with!
When you take a course with Vegan Mainstream, I (Stephanie Redcross West) will be your instructor.

In the past decade, I have been a frequent speaker at vegfests, conferences, and even my own bootcamp series. I have been featured as a business leader in magazines and on websites and podcasts. I am well known as a business consultant and coach, and day by day I build my business dream…It lights me up to inspire others to turn their vegan passion into successful businesses, and I can’t wait to meet and help you too!
