Hands On Training Seminars

The war against digital illiteracy will not be won through keynotes or breakout sessions. What’s required is hands-on training.

You can learn strategy and big ideas through keynotes and panel sessions, but actual training in a wired classroom with broadband access, step-by-step exercises and expert instruction is required to develop applied knowledge.

I've led professional development training seminars for a variety of audiences including the US Dept. of State, Singapore Ministry of Health, Yamaha, Bombardier, National Rural Electrical Cooperative and many others on all aspects of digital business.

Here are my room set up recommendations. I also host sessions at software training facilities in major metros worldwide.

Preconference Workshops

For conference attendees who want to fly in early and attend a live training sessions, I produce 1- to 3-day workshops for conference organizers. For more than 10 years, I led 2-day Social Media Boot Camps trainings for the Public Relations Society of America nationwide and annually at the PRSA International Conference for over a decade. I have also led preconference workshops for The Licensing Show, The Market Research Association, the Direct Marketing Association, Athens Journalism Society, Warisan Global, American University, UCLA, and many others.

Executive Briefings

At an executive briefing I delivered at a division of the US Army at Fort Lee in Virginia. I am frequently retained to help senior managers understand the opportunities that digital business presents. I have delivered executive briefings at the Inter American Development Bank, US Embassy to Kuala Lumpur, US Embassy to Rome, Foreign Service Institute, Boeing, Environmental Defense Fund and many others.

Custom eLearning

I produce custom eLearning courses to help clients provide employees have access to the timely information to leverage digital business technology responsibly and effectively in the work place.

HOW TO: Create Online Training Courses

Since on demand training is prerecorded, delegates can focus on learning key concepts, and if they miss something, they can rewind and reply. And a six-hour class can be delivered online in as little as three hours, and with better retention rates

On demand training is a scalable way to teach self motivated employees digital workplace skills, while safeguarding organizations against the many legal, regulatory and competitive threats that public communications pose.

Great work and highly recommended.

"I can count on Eric to delivery great webinars."

I appreciate Eric's professionalism and skill at leading webinars.

He provides a satisfying depth to the topic he presents and doesn't rush through it.

He comes across very knowledgeable and personable, which he is.

But better than my comments are these from my attendees:

"This is the best seminar that I have attended in a long time."
"It was a very meaty webinar - wish it could've been a little longer."
"It gave me a solid overview of current thinking, trends and research."
