What is a webinar? Participants login on a web conference site and call in with a toll-free telephone number to watch the slides on a computer monitor (or project them onto a screen) and hear the audio presentation. Our webinars allow the participants to ask questions verbally or by typing in on the conference screen (some webinars mute the participants). You may participate alone or with others in your organization.

Our webinars are designed to provide you and others in your organization an opportunity to learn proven practical techniques and tools praised by our hundreds of client organizations and tens of thousands of individuals who have participated in our training programs. Each webinar is focused on a few major topics with an emphasis on what to do and how to do it to achieve the learning objectives.

We suggest that you limit webinar participation at your location to 6-10 people to allow maximum participation. We encourage verbal involvement during the webinar and larger groups tend to limit involvement in the learning process. By having small groups participate in different locations simultaneously they learn more than they would in large groups.
