Comments from Previous Participants
“‘Creating Powerful Online Meetings’ was a dynamic training session that featured clear and concise tools and techniques. You will leave the session with concepts that can be applied immediately!”
–Chantee Guiney, Specialist in Academic Planning & Development, Calfornia Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office
“Even with 25 years experience, I definitely learned new ways to engage people during remote meetings. Their beginning to end ‘how-to’ approach helped me leave with practical action steps that I implemented right away. Well worth the 2 hours!”
–Dawn Hanley, Learning and Development, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)“I have to admit that when I saw the training had a fee, I paused asking myself if I really needed it given all the other free stuff out there, but something in me kept saying ‘do it.’ Oh my goodness! I said to myself multiple times during the session and still saying, ‘Who are these people? I love them! I get them.’ So grateful I found them!”
“This course gives you the foundation to design purposeful, productive meetings—with practical recommendations to make the most of everyone’s attention in a virtual setting.”
–Leili Khalessi, Lead Alumni Outreach and Communications Officer, Sacramento State University
