Category — 2010 Appearances - Public only

Remember when job descriptions used to actually call out ‘proficiency with the Microsoft Office Suite’ as a job requirement?  Even if you don’t, trust me, they did.

Welcome to 2010.  Now we’re seeing job descriptions asking for skills with remote presentations, demonstrations, and webinars in general.

As we quip at 1080 Group, “Microsoft will teach you how to use Word, but they won’t teach you how to be a writer.”  This webinar isn’t about technology (though that’s an important component!), it’s about mastering business-critical communication skills – making presentations – in the unique environment of webinars.

Join me on 3/23 at 11am Pacific.

You don’t have to read too far to know that I’m a Mac fan, including how Steve Jobs presents/represents the brand.  So I’m honored to be joining Carmine Gallo on the virtual stage (I’m moderating, he’s presenting) for the presentation he’s doing promoting his new book.

Join us?

The three basic variables of project management are cost, time, and quality…you can’t change one without affecting the others.

Webinars are projects where you don’t have the option to change the deadline, and the result is something that gets done, but not very well.  The consequence is an audience that doesn’t get engaged (at best) or changes the channel.

Join me for How to Plan and Produce Engaging Webinars on Thursday, March 18 to save yourself some headaches and stand out from the competition.

“Back by popular demand” sounds so silly, but what if it’s true?  I’m excited by the feedback you bring me after this event, and if you missed it, well… catch it this time around.

Attend this interactive Webinar and learn how to:

• Get your trainees engaged and participating
• Use Webinar tools to deliver unique and creative exercises
• Measure the effectiveness of your training sessions

I don’t get on an airplane often, and I’m always amused to do so to talk about webinars.  The good news is that the South Bay Organizational Development Network will be a GREAT group to be sharing some time with on 3/1.  And if you’re not in Santa Clara, no problem.

And one learning note:

Just in case you’re wondering how I tackle these – I do them as if delivering virtually (and in this case I will be), so learner :: content, learner :: instructor, etc. will be just like the virtual event.  *See* you there one way or another!

Effective online webinars require three skills to be firing on all cylinders… production, promotion, and presentation.  A 360-degree perspective on 3 things gives you the 1080 in “1080 Group.”

Of course, almost four years ago what we couldn’t have foreseen were other trends that also use the name… pixels in Hi-Def televisions, and that a catalog number for a poison would bubble up (so to speak) with some controversy for not being so nice to small animals.

Despite the heat associated with this latter topic in ANZ, the good news is that 1) we have nothing to do with that and 2) we are incredibly privileged to be addressing a Sage-specific audience on the subject of effective online meetings.

Care to join?  We’d love to have you, and we can promise the results will be anything but poisonous for your online meetings!

As a quasi-public event, I’m not going to post the link to register here.  Shoot me an email at roger (at) 1080group (dot) com and I’ll make sure you get an invite.

It’s always exciting to see 1000 in a virtual room, and that’s literally what we had last week.  Same event, different time slot.

I’d be honored to *see* you there.
