  • Our Story

    Storyboard EMP

    We are entrepreneurs, educators, writers, and video producers. We’re also veteran professionals who go out into the field and do the work. Most of all, we’re actual humans who value common decency over the bottom line. There are no manuals for what we do. So here at Storyboard, we create them. We find the experts, put them in the studio, and beam their knowledge to you. Our podcasts, webinars, conferences and courses are polished, but personal. Check out our work, and learn because you want to.

    Storyboard EMP. Your Education Media Partners.

  • Our Professional Education Brands

    We launched Storyboard EMP because we wanted to make professional education that’s worth your time. As professionals in these industries, we’ve endured the other kind of CE (the not good kind). At Storyboard, we respect our fellow professionals and work hard to build courses that will make you think and help you in your day-to-day work. And as media veterans, we make sure the writing, audio, and videos we create are polished to a professional sheen — but with a no-nonsense, human touch.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    • What are your privacy policies?

    At Storyboard EMP, value your privacy. We use the information we collect about you to process orders and never share it with anyone outside of our company.
     

    • What information does Storyboard EMP collect, and how do we use it?

    When you order, we ask for your name, e-mail address, mailing address, credit card number, and credit card expiration date. We use this information to fill your order and notify you of your order status.


    To fulfill professional licensure requirements, we ask for the following information: (1) your name, (2) address, (3) telephone number, (4) e-mail address, (5) state license number(s), (6) company or agency affiliation (7) course history information. If you communicate with us by e-mail or complete online forms or surveys, we may also collect that information. We monitor customer site traffic to help us design the site but collect no identifying information about users to accomplish this.


    We may also use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about changes to the website, new services, and special offers we think you’ll find valuable. If you'd rather not receive this information, let us know.

    • How does Storyboard EMP protect customer information? 

    StoryboardEMP uses the latest encryption technology to keep your personal information safe. All ordering information, including your name, address, and credit card number, is encrypted using a secure server for maximum security. Your credit card and billing information cannot be read as it travels to our ordering system. To ensure that your information is even more secure, we will never see or be in possession of your credit card information. Credit card transactions are handled by a third-party financial institution, which receives the credit card number and other personal identifying information only to verify the credit card numbers and process transactions. If you feel more comfortable calling in your credit card information, call us at 615-953-350. When we complete your transaction, you'll receive your order number via our confirmation e-mail.
     

    • Will Storyboard EMP disclose my personal information to outside parties? 

    Storyboard EMP does not sell, rent, or loan our customers’ personal information (including customers’ names and shipping, billing, and e-mail addresses) to anyone outside of our company. We take your trust very seriously, so the only messages you receive will be from us. This includes automatic order and shipping confirmation e-mails generated upon receipt of your order. Storyboard EMP may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information. Storyboard EMP may release account information when we believe, in good faith, that such release is reasonably necessary to (1) comply with law, (2) enforce or apply the terms of any of our user agreements, or (3) protect the rights, property, or safety of Storyboard EMP, our users, or others.
