Category — 2010 Appearances – Public only

I just had the pleasure this week of speaking for students and industry pros alike at Ohio University’s Sales Symposium, and I’ll admit to being a little amused to get on an airplane to teach about presenting virtually…but then if you’ve heard me speak, you know that I don’t advocate throwing all face-to-face contact out the door.

It’s more common, however, to find me virtually.  Some good news in the world of sales and training recently is that after announcing a shut down, Sales and Management Magazine has been purchased and revitalized, including a new webinar series (yay!).

So…here’re the virtual goodies virtually.  Join me on 6/22?

Another angle on engagement…getting – and keeping – trainees attentive and motivated is a pain point when they’re not a ‘captive audience.’

Join me on 5/12 for tips and tricks of the trade.

This will be an early one if you’re stateside, but that doesn’t mean you can’t come.

Join me on 5/27 for improving your game in virtual training sessions.

My longtime friends at Brainshark are hosting a webinar next week, and I have the privilege of delivering the goods.  This webinar is going to cover some of the stuff I’ve got coming up in my next book, so I’d be honored if you’d join me!

See you on 5/5?  Register here!

(It’s the “Raise Your Webinar Engagement Quotient” option)

Engagement is powerfully needed in every presentation, and doubly so in a webinar.  This webinar will explore ten different things you can do to improve engagement on several levels.  Note…the target audience for this webinar is trainers, but it’s open and useful to all.

Join me on 4/28 (ANZ) (which is 4/27 U.S.).

I’m excited and privileged to be part of a new webinar series at ConferencePlus.  This is going to be fun one!

Join me on 4/29!

Face it:  even if an audience shows up to your webinar, if they’re tuned out, you’re not accomplishing what you need to accomplish.

In Motivating Trainees from a Distance:  Making Online Training Effective will focus on the key elements of engagement that turn passive participants into actively engaged learners.

Hope to see you on 5/12!

In a topic a little different than what you see from me, Creating Strategic Advantage in Service and Support taps into my experience running professional services organizations.  Join me on 4/15?

Fellow National Speakers Association member Taylor Ellwood of Imagine Your Reality invited me to a virtual fireside chat.  We’ll be talking about web seminars, of course, but you’ll he hosts a nice variety of topics of interest to business people.

7:30pm Pacific, 4/19

*See* you there!

I love Twitter, and of all the times I’ve spoken at webinars and used Twitter for backchannel conversation, nobody’s more enthusiastically embraced it than when I’ve spoken to trainers.

Hence this event… How to use Twitter and Social Media with Training Webinars.  Join me on April 29?
