Capital Goods Webinars – The New Dynamic

I began my career as an educator.  There was nothing I enjoyed more than seeing the light go on for a student – unless, of course, it was shocking them with my unorthodox methods.

Today, the landscape of education has shifted.  We have moved from the traditional classroom to the world wide web.  Webinars have become one of the most convenient and cost-effective learning tools for continuing education, and even mainstream university programs.

A webinar is typically a static process.

We are throwing that idea out the window.

We use a projector at a 16:10 aspect ratio, and a high definition camera.  Instead of our students watching Power Point slides go by, we present information, and then switch to conference format.  I move in front of the camera, and our webinar turns into a classroom discussion.

There is no better way for you to receive the training you need to advance personally, and advance your company, than to try one of our webinars.

I have pooled the knowledge of the past 45 years of my experience, as well as incorporating the latest, cutting edge theory and practice across the industry, to help the light go on for all of you.

Move forward in this New Year.

Content is King…Capital Goods Training

What sets you apart?

It is all too easy to recognize the similarities among service departments, parts departments, and product support salespeople.  In order to stand out amongst the crowd, your training helps you make your mark.  Your training teaches you what your work looks like when it is right.

I have been working in the capital goods industry for 45 years.  I have implemented new systems, and worked in nearly every product support position within the dealership.  With this knowledge under my belt, I have moved into the newest teaching module: the webinar.

Webinars enable students to take a course in a brief format, from the comfort of their own office or home.  By and large, webinars are becoming the preferred method for training across industries.  The trick is in finding the right program, with the right instructor.

Without any exaggeration, I can tell you that there is no one in our industry doing what we do.  There is no other place for you to learn WHAT we can teach you, in the WAY we teach it.

That is what sets us apart.

At Learning Without Scars, we don’t want you to passively receive information.

We’ve ramped up the webinar into a truly interactive, multi-media event.  Our webinars take not only my 45 years of background and knowledge, but present the material in an “internet conference.”  As a student, you will see, hear, and be able to actively participate in each webinar.

In 2015, why don’t you join us?  Set yourself apart, professionally, and start one of our series of webinars.

Leadership, like swimming, cannot be learned by reading about it.

Henry Mintzberg

 

Adversity is the first path to truth.

Lord Byron

 

Happiness is not a matter of events, it depends upon the tides of the mind.

Alice Meynell
Last month I highlighted the great teacher as being a person who inspired. I want to suggest that each of you read about John Wooden, UCLA Basketball Coach extraordinaire.

He was one who was clear on expectations – Clarity

The expectations were divorced from outcomes – which you don’t control and all about process – which you do control.

 

Like many people he had some “foundations pillars.” (My words not his)

 

They were in two sets of three

First:

  • Never Lie
  • Never Cheat
  • Never Steal

Pretty simple and straightforward.

Second:

  • Don’t Whine
  • Don’t Complain
  • Don’t Make Excuses

 

Coach Wooden defined SUCCESS as follows:

 

Peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best you are capable of becoming.

 

May YOU each have peace of mind.

A thank you for the AED

Today I had the opportunity to read December’s issue of CED magazine.  This is the last month I will be a contributing writer to the magazine, and I am touched and thankful for the tribute the Associated Equipment Distributors wrote in their magazine.  We have had a wonderful professional relationship over these many years, and I wish you the best in your new endeavors.
