Description

The path to becoming a virtual trainer is a hero’s journey, one filled with adventure, challenges, disappointments, excitement, determination, and great success and achievement. Those who have forged ahead know the journey is often fraught with fears, foes, and failing audio connections. With challenges like confusing links and logins, participants unable to connect, and unexpected technical issues, it’s no easy feat to become a respected virtual trainer.

Learn how to confidently step up to this call to adventure, armed with the tools, techniques, and ideas you need to defeat your worries and fears. Gain the knowledge to begin to build the virtual training skills needed for success and pick up a dose of courage and bravery along the way.

After participating in this session, you will be able to:
  • Accept the call to the virtual training adventure to identify what to do about whatever is holding you back
  • Face the most common trials and tribulations every virtual trainer must overcome
  • Create a plan for the successful preparation, delivery, and production of your next virtual training and become a virtual training hero
