Virtual Presenter

Ive been called the Michael Jordan of online presentations and virtual classes (which, with four bucks, will get you a latte at Starchucks). Most of the time, though, Im a just an exceedingly normal guy who speaks, trains, consults, and writes about psychosocial effectiveness when communicating via web/audio/video conferencing (e.g., webinars/web s... eminars, virtual presentations, webcasts, virtual classrooms, livestreams, et al). A veteran of the conferencing industry (since the modem days of 1999), Ive taught tens of thousands people worldwide, and Ive reached tens of thousands more with writing appearances, interviews, and while sitting in airports. My 2008 white paper Five Keys to Moving Training Online won TrainingZone.co.uks Readers Choice Award for Top Download of the Year. My book The Virtual Presenters Playbook won a couple awards, too (free digital here). Oh, and Ive got speaking awards (Microsoft, National Speakers Association). The central, driving question you will hear out of my mouth repeatedly is, How do we take the best of human connectedness and translate that for virtual environments? Im not a big fan of the word webinar, but may be just smart enough to use it on this blog for SEO purposes. My future-thinking keynotes about trends, connectorship, and the impact of technology on relationship are more like pragmatic training sessions than talk at you keynotes. Ive host a lively non-commercial community of practice group on Facebook thats 1900-members strong. Warning: Im a momma bear when it comes to self-promoting stuff there, so if youre looking for a place to advertise, just move along. If you want to see the professional journey that includes startups and Microsoft, catch me on LinkedIn . Finally, Im a keepin-it-real kinda guy. I give credit where credits due and am happy to earn my keep with your crew. Oh, and I always help people, whether theres money involved or not. Its part of how I give back. Give a ring and you wont get a pitch for an invoice.Read More
