What is your personal record for yawning and losing interest in a virtual meeting? Twenty-five seconds? Fifteen seconds? Less?
In today’s world where digital interactions rely on ZOOM, Adobe Connect, WebEx, MS Teams, and other online experiences, the risk is high that learners and audience members will be lost in the blink of an eye.
This is my story. Twelve years ago, I founded TrainingMagNetwork.com. From 2,000 members, we now have 175,000 members. Since then, 35,000 attended my workshops and webinars. If I’ve learned anything over twelve years of leading workshops and webinars, it’s this: If you put them to sleep, you’ll never get them back! That’s why I've made it my personal mission to do my best to engage each and every person who attends one of my events.
Over the years, I’ve developed a number of PRACTICAL methods and approaches to accomplish my mission. These are things you can learn today and apply tomorrow and I’ve packed them all into this workshop.
So what’s one tip that I’d share right off the top? Speak from your HEART! You must communicate your passion. You must BE your passion! All other methods and techniques I share in this workshop flow from being your true passionate self. I will help you discover the passionate part of you so you can inspire, teach, move and help others.
Ray Jimenez, PhD
Join me in the workshop.
In this workshop, you will learn to:
The workshop is highly interactive, engaging, and deep in learning. Participants will participate in three live ZOOM virtual (1.5 hours each) sessions. Participants will also submit small exercise documents to translate ideas into actual applications.
Participants may join small groups and/or individualized coaching sessions. They will also review guides and checklists. Participants will use their smart phones to create mini self videos that demonstrate application of new skills. The videos will be submitted to the workshop website. Participants will receive feedback and suggestions before, during, and after the coaching sessions. The coaching sessions aim for application and building skills.
We show, exemplify and make you see and experience on how the ideas are done. We promise not to lecture on being passionate.
The workshop is for everyone, however, participants should have at least delivered a few webinars and virtual sessions. The workshop is especially helpful for those who are subject matter experts, presenters, trainers, coaches and mentors, facilitators, teachers, and speakers.
