Webinar: Perhaps you prefer a technologically-sophisticated Webinar in which participants view PowerPoint slides on their individual computers while listening to Dr. Thiederman on a speakerphone or individual telephone.

 

Teleconference: As an alternative, you might arrange for a simple telephone conference call on which Dr. Thiederman is a formal participant. In this case, each participant will receive support materials prior to the call that will help them follow along and readily apply the material covered in the workplace. If all participants are at the same location, PowerPoint slides can be provided for showing in your meeting room.

Sondra’s Webinar and Teleconference-Savvy Skills

It takes experience and skill to reach through the telephone line and deliver effective training to people on computer screens and telephones hundreds of miles away. The question always is: Will it be effective? Here’s what one Webinar client has to say:

“Web conferencing has become a preferred method of receiving education for our membership. So, when we were looking for a speaker to present a cultural competence program, we needed someone who, not only knew the material, but was dynamic enough to present the program using the Web conference format.

We could not have been more pleased with how Sondra Thiederman met this requirement. For a full 90 minutes, she kept the participants engaged as she spoke from her office in San Diego. She told amusing anecdotes, employed industry-specific examples, and took an involving approach that got her important message across.

No matter what your industry, if you are thinking of producing a Web conference on any aspect of diversity, bias-reduction, or cross-cultural issues, I would highly recommend Sondra Thiederman.”
