For over 20 years, Company of Experts has delivered exceptional face-to-face trainings that have received 5-star ratings for their on-site trainings and programs. The Company is now bringing their trainings to you in the form of webinars.
Our webinars are interactive “mini” workshops on a specific topic usually one hour long. Our webinars are practical and focus on the most critical and relevant issues facing people today. Our primary goal is to provide participants with the information, training, and skills necessary to immediately implement positive change at their institutions. Many webinars will have pre and post hand-outs and materials.
Company of Experts encourages teams to participant in each webinar. We include an open discussion at the end of the webinar to reinforce how participants will integrate the content into their personal or organizational practices. This add-on to the webinar is typically 30 minutes or so after the webinar has concluded. This 30 minute coaching session adds to the value of the webinar and to your organization.
