Because of webinars, we can provide just-in-time training to leaders. Before the pandemic, companies conducted most training programs in person. Leadership training was usually a one-day or two-day event because that’s how it was always done.
We seldom conduct short sessions because preparations for traditional training are time-consuming, expensive, and logistically challenging.
We have seen that webinars can be excellent alternatives to traditional training. We can introduce new tools and coach leaders on skills anytime and anywhere. Webinars are easier to organize and cost-effective.
To help ordinary leaders create extraordinary results, give them focused, intensive, relevant, and engaging training programs when needed.
On-Demand Webinars
An on-demand webinar is a pre-recorded webinar at any time. Those who finish our on-demand webinars must pass an evaluation to get certificates. We want to ensure that you will learn from these programs.
Live Webinars
Live webinars occur in real time. The main advantage of a live webinar is that it is interactive, and participants can work on exercises at the same time. You can bring these live webinars to your company.
Virtual Workshops
Virtual workshops are highly interactive corporate learning events. We hold virtual workshops for activities requiring participants to present learning exercises’ outputs. Typically, a virtual workshop focus on a single process or skill.
Upgrade Your Skills
Participate in success webinars to gain new perspectives, practical skills, and proven strategies to find a great job, be more productive, relieve stress, get promoted, and build leadership. These webinars are for Filipino professionals eager to learn anywhere and anytime.
What is a webinar?
A webinar is a word blend or portmanteau of the words web and seminar. It is a virtual learning event attended by online audiences from anywhere in the world. Though webinars become popular during the quarantine, it is not new. Companies have used webinars for technical, soft skills, and leadership training. The increase in webinar platforms also makes it cheaper than live training programs.
Webinars will stay and become an essential learning platform in the new normal. Live in-person training will continue, of course. Just like Netflix did not replace public TV. Webinars are for those professionals who want to learn more and better, anytime and anywhere, for less cost.
Is It An Online Seminar?
Yes, a webinar is an online seminar. However, a webinar is not meant to be delivered for eight hours, the usual duration of in-person seminars.
This is a common mistake and must be corrected.
Unlike in-person seminars, there is less interaction in webinars. We can only watch and listen to the speakers. We cannot make questions at once. We cannot talk to the other participants of the webinars.
Because of slow internet connection, most cameras are turned off, and are phones are on mute.
Of course, we can make a webinar interactive. We can use whiteboards, quizzes, polls, and some games. But we cannot consider it as a seminar done online.
I may consider it a short online learning session. The best webinars should run from 60 to 120 minutes. Beyond two hours and the webinar becomes very tiring.
Of course, we can say that there are many boring seminars. But we do not need boring seminars. We need lively and productive webinars. And it is best if we do it in two hours or less.
10 Benefits of Webinars
Help leaders learn faster and better for less cost.
Webinars and virtual workshops will remain the new normal. Sure, most of us will go back to live in-person seminars. But it won’t be the same anymore.
That’s because most traditional multi-day training programs often do not show the desired results.
Science has shown us that focused tiny learning brings mighty results. Technology, when used properly, can help us design the learning experiences that professionals need.
Webinars, virtual workshops, and online courses have benefits that are more valuable than traditional training. The pandemic highlighted the benefits of digital learning.
I have listed ten of these benefits.
1. Get High Impact Results
We focus on key priorities and provide snackable learning sessions so you will get the desired results.
2. Access Anywhere.
Participants can join virtual workshops wherever they are. A webinar can be browser-based.
3. Experience Personalized Courses.
There is exclusivity in virtual workshops and webinars. The program content is tailor-fit to your needs.
4. Learn Effectively.
Our virtual workshops focus on output and outcome. We eliminate out-of-scope discussions. You can visit each lesson again and again. Snackable segments are recorded to ensure high-quality presentations.
5. Encourage Self-Learning.
I use flip and rapid learning and provide participants with learning resources before and after the virtual workshops so they can learn independently.
6. Promote Social Learning.
Participants share insights, stories, questions, and answers in discussion boards exclusively created for them. Social learning helps speed up learning and makes it sticky.
7. Provide Flexible and Scalable Learning.
The virtual workshops and the resources provide participants with opportunities to learn at their own pace. You and I can also increase our reach. Virtual workshops may accommodate 20, 40, or even a hundred people. Webinars may host 2000 participants.
8. Foster Emotional Connections.
Remote employees find it challenging to connect. Virtual workshops provide a “face-to-face” experience for members of teams.
9. Save Time and Money.
No travel time is required. No need to pay rent for venues. In between learning sessions, you can spend more attention on job time.
10. Reduce carbon footprint.
Virtual workshops allow you to help save the environment.
