How to deliver Kick-Ass Virtual Training

You can almost say that in some ways it is better than spending a whole day sitting in a conference room with your colleagues to learn something new.

How can it be better? Let’s look at the silver lining this whole pandemic has provided us. We spend our days working in our pajamas, showers are optional, make-up is left in the drawer and depending on your living situation, deodorant might not be a daily thing anymore. Now, let’s move to the productivity gains of your work. If you are lucky enough to be living in a kid free zone, then you have probably noticed it takes you half the time to get things done for work. You are free of distractions from people dropping by your office to chit chat or get your opinion on a project or issue. You aren’t spending that wasted time commuting to the office and instead gain another 2 hours in your day to spend it on what you want.

Oh, I forgot, you’ve been spending the last 3 months stuck on virtual meetings that are so routine you have checked out in the first 5 minutes, turned your video off, and started flipping through Tik-Tok.
