The eLearning Guild’s  Learning Solutions 2011 is almost here.  Next Tuesday, I’ll be presenting my full-day certificate program on voiceovers for eLearning.  And on Wed-Fri mornings, as part of the Morning Buzz agenda, I’ll be presenting my 1-hour discussion and coaching session on Presentation Skills. If you want to sign up for my voiceovers hands-on workshop, you…

I’m very excited about leading my full-day certificate program in eLearning voiceovers next week (3/22) as part of the special pre-conference offerings of the eLearning Guild’s Learning Solutions 2011 conference in Orlando, Florida.  The indefatigable Juli Balding at the Guild sent me a note on Friday that my session looks like it will be full!…

In addition to the full-day eLearning voiceovers program I’m teaching as part of the eLearning Guild’s Learning Solutions 2011 conference in Orlando, I’m also going to be leading discussion/coaching sessions as part of the Morning Buzz breakfast chat programs from 7:15-8:15AM  on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, 3/23-25.  I’ll be in the Crystal Room on the…

As mentioned in a previous post, based on the success of the introductory eLearning voiceover sessions I offered at two eLearning Guild conferences in 2010, I’ve been asked to offer a full-day certificate program on the topic as part of the Learning Solutions 2011 conference.  I’ll be offering my workshop on Tuesday, March 22nd, from…

This past fall, I was contacted by Rick Rabideau, one of my former supervisors at MetLife, about consulting with him on his new solo business venture, Telivant.  Rick’s new organization is currently focused on the real estate market, helping realty agents embrace technology to enhance their business.  I agreed immediately; having bought and sold homes…

Well, it’s official!  Heidi Fisk of the eLearning Guild has asked me back for the 2011 Learning Solutions conference in Orlando, Florida.  This time, I’ll be offering Breakfast Bytes coaching and discussion sessions on basic Presentation Skills each day, as well as a pre-conference full day hands-on workshop focusing on creating quality voiceovers for eLearning. …

One of my projects this fall was partnering with the folks at MetLife on preparing communications pieces, job aids, and how-to guided tour simulations for the launch of their new internal MyLearning site interface.  I created a series of communications pieces, from the executive e-mail announcement down to a series of monthly “did you know?”…

Apologies that I haven’t been posting much over the last couple of months.  My beloved dad passed away in early November at the age of 88 after a brief illness.  I’ve been taking time this fall to handle some family matters, and to size up what the world looks like when both of one’s parents…
