Program Description:
When Covid-19 brought all in-person events to a screeching halt, events became synonymous with virtual events. You now have Zoom basics down. The problem is that basic skills are not enough to stand out as a top-notch virtual presenter.
You don't need a high-tech recording studio with a green screen, hair light (that's a real thing), and fancy software to level up your Zoom game. Focus on improving your technique rather than your technology.
This training will help you design transformative, inclusive, and engaging online experiences.
Your message may not be getting across if you are not providing a thoughtful participant experience design that focuses on intentional engagement. All too often, traditional event design, particularly in a virtual setting, benefits the loudest, the most confident, and the most experienced.
Robbie Samuels shares how to use the latest features and online facilitation techniques to structure your events, so everyone feels welcomed instead of merely invited. Using purpose-first design creates sessions that move participants from inspiration to action.
No more Zoom fatigue. No more death-by-Powerpoint.
If virtual programming is part of your business model, you cannot afford to use skills and settings stuck in 2020.

-
