  • The Five Keys for Successful Virtual Training
  • Interact and Engage! Activities for Spectacular Live Online Training
  • How to Produce World-Class Virtual Training?
  • Becoming a Virtual Trainer is a Hero’s Journey
  • Virtual Events: Master the Tech So You Can Ignore the Tech
  • Common Virtual Classroom Disasters and What to Do About Them
★★★★★ 5/5
“Session was great! As a trainer for a global company, I’m often on WebEx and asked to give training over a live meeting. I hate doing them because 2-way communication is difficult over the phone and I felt they were so ineffective they were really just a waste of everyone’s time. I now have some great ideas on how to make them worthwhile, and can’t wait to go use them and try to “break” WebEx! Best hands-on session of the conference!”

“My team felt uncomfortable in the virtual classroom before Kassy’s training. All of their focus was on the new technology. They stopped being engaging trainers. Instead, my seasoned trainers felt nervous. For us, the result has been that our people are prepared to train virtually. They’re confident. They understand why people might not interact and how to fix it. And, most importantly, everyone in our organization is getting the same great training experience whether virtually or in-person.”
