5. Convert your face-to-face product into a successful online learning experience

Initially a Live Webinar (now a fully resourced lesson):

Convert your face-to-face product into a successful online learning experience

If you’re a practitioner or a subject matter expert in your field, there’s a fair chance you’ve delivered the same workshop or training over and over again and you’re a bit over it. You’re ready to have it digitalised, so the same message can go out repeatedly to whoever wants and needs it - without you having to physically deliver it every single time. Hallo time, energy and money savings!

If you’ve given it a go, you’ve probably found that recording your PowerPoint without an audience to interact with, just doesn’t have the same impact and you have no idea how to convert what is usually super engaging, motivating and client focused, into an online or digital version that will pack the same punch.

In this lesson you will learn:

the difference between self study, live online and face to face training - and which option is best for you and your clients;
how technology is changing the way we learn - and what your clients expect from you as a subject matter expert;
the foundations of best practice teaching and learning - and how to apply them to any learning experience
how to structure engaging training sessions with action based outcomes;
create effective visual aids and workbooks; and
Use delivery techniques that result in knowledge retention and action taking,

giving you the knowledge required to adopt best practice teaching practices regardless of the platform you are using to deliver your content.

Choose the sections that speak to you!

Originally, this lesson was a webinar with a live audience. Now it's a series of 8 videos, which all focus on a different set of objectives. Play them all from start to finish, or choose the sections that speak to you.

Five Quick Training Tips

You will learn how to get the most out of the training and education industry.

Are you wondering whether you're really cut out for this whole teacher gig? It's not as easy as it may seem, but if there's one thing a career in teaching and learning has taught me, is what it can really offer us, the trainers, as facilitators of change. It can be the most challenging ride in the world but can also bring you such joy, reward, and personal development opportunities.

This e-book gives you my top 5 tips for staying sane, and getting the most out of a career in teaching and training, whatever your field, wherever you are, and who ever you're helping.

Not sure whether you're really ready for a career in teaching or training or really need to read this mini-book?

Have a quick read of this article: 'Teaching Tips if you want to create real change in the world' where I explain a gorgeous piece of artwork which summarises our industry, and that was created specifically with all teachers in mind.

5 QUICK TRAINING TIPS

1. Assess your content creation skills

Welcome! To a new, interactive way of learning.

We're in the process of completely revamping our online Library - and to start with, we've got a fully updated Introductory Course that contains 6 Self Assessment Tools. Each of the tools asks you a series of questions that will help you work out which courses are most suited to your needs.

Click on 'START COURSE' below, and follow the prompts!

Please note: if you'd prefer a more traditional way to learn, scroll down below the course - where you can still download our Content Creation Checklist and do our Quiz - the Quiz will set off a personalised email sequence for you; based on what you ask for more information on!

Please login.

With the:

Content Creation Checklist & Quiz

You will learn how to assess your preparedness for embarking on the Content Creation journey. Never done this before? Don't worry - I hear you! I work with people like you every day and the sheer amount of moving parts you have to have in sync to make this happen efficiently (while keeping your sanity), can be really overwhelming. It doesn't have to be though.

Not sure you need either?

Engage with the Pre-Reading Task and decide for yourself!

12 Points to Consider Before Creating Content

DOWNLOAD THE CHECKLIST

Want to get stuck into learning immediately?

Download the CONTENT CREATION CHECKLIST
Answer the questions honestly, and then follow the links to the lessons you need.
This is a downloadable PDF - answers WILL NOT SAVE if you simply open in the browser.
Download and save to your desktop or folder, so you are working on a saved copy.

Want a steadier approach, and a personalised learning plan?

Do the Content Creation Quiz. The questions are identical to the ones in the Checklist, but you'll also receive an email once every 4 days, that will help you with the questions you've answered No or Not Sure to - (the areas you specifically need help with).

3. Systemise and sell your expertise

With the:

3. Be Realistic About What it Takes to Systemise and Sell your Expertise

Tutorial, Content Organising Tool plus a fully resourced Live Webinar

You will collate and package your existing knowledge into a range of educational products and services, then have the reality of promoting and selling spelt out for you in a 1 hour webinar with Q&A from a live audience.

Not sure you need this lesson? Have a quick read of the Pre-reading here.

TASK 1: Content Development Made Easy

Why do you need the Content Organising Tool?

You've got a lot of experience working one on one with clients and you KNOW the best way to leverage that is to put it into some sort of group learning experience. You know you have enough to create a product out of, but you're confused, frustrated and have no idea where to start.

Follow this simple 6 step process to organise, systemise and package your content. The Tutorial and Content Organising Tool will walk you through the process so that you can start taking action immediately - get that content out of your head and into a variety of learning products that you can promote, package and sell.

Why do you need the Live Webinar?

I specifically did a 6 month case study, promoting 4 of my online courses, so that I could catalogue the time, cost and effort it takes to have an online social media presence that delivers consistent value to your ideal clients. The short story? A LOT. The webinar takes you through all the work that is involved and how long it takes you to either do it yourself or have it outsourced to a professional who knows what they're doing. You'll meet Ilana Van Geijn, my right hand woman, who does most of this for me. You want the truth? You get the truth in this webinar - the true costs of what it takes to systemise and promote your expertise.

Still not convinced the system I use works for your content?

Engage with the Pre-Reading Task: Content Development Made Easy and see the range of industries I work with.

The True Costs of Systemising and Selling Your Expertise

One strategy for selling yourself online, is to create a webinar that will ‘sell' people into your program, online course or coaching services.

A lot of clients come to me with this idea in mind, and are completely overwhelmed when they try to start putting together all the marketing material - because the truth is, there’s a LOT to think about - and there are a lot of professionals out there making it look super slick, simple and straightforward.

If you’ve given it a go, there's a chance you have found yourself feeling like a bit of a floundering failure - how do they make it look so easy when you have spent so much time, put in all this effort, and still don't really have all the pieces of the puzzle you need - and to be honest, you're not even quite sure what is missing and what you actually need to be doing?!

DOWNLOAD THE WORKBOOK HERE

I want to share with a case study, which Ilana van Geijn I worked on over a 6 month period, to help you understand the steps, time, skill level and effort involved so when you are putting together your next launch strategy you can systematically work your way through the to-do list and successfully sell yourself online like a pro.

In this lesson you will learn how to:

set realistic goals and expectations around creating and promoting your next webinar
systemise and prepare your content to best promote your product
prepare the marketing material you need for pre, during and post your webinar
repurpose your webinar content for your website, program, online course or coaching services.

giving you the knowledge required to systematically put together a webinar to launch your online content with ease - and to then repurpose the material for future use and promotion.

1. Outcomes Based Product Development

Understanding what your clients need, and how they learn best, will enable you to create courses, workshops and information products that deliver on their outcomes. When clear expectations are set, and outcomes are achieved, your raving fans will be letting the world know about it - and when you don't? Well, they'll be letting the world know about it too - which would you prefer?

The first part in this mini-series outlines why you need to CONNECT with your clients or learners - and how doing so will improve their learning experience. It's all about the basics of how adults learn and why you should be incorporating these ideas into the way you design and deliver your materials.

2. Curriculum and Content Development

We've all sat through presentations or courses that are disorganised and poorly structured - not particularly inspiring is it? Neither is it engaging or motivating.. right?

The second part in our mini-series is all about how to create materials, resources, modules and whole courses that will get your clients or learners RESULTS. It's about structuring content in a way that will help your clients or learners achieve success by building on what they already know, and achieving their goals.

3. Delivery Skills and User Experience

No body wants to be that boring presenter that sends the room to sleep, or has the audience slowly disengaging, checking phones, yawning or leaving early #disaster...

The third part in our mini-series demonstrates how to make your materials engaging - be they the worksheets or activities themselves, or the way you deliver them, there's a few different aspects you need to consider.

4. Continuous Improvement

Evaluating, reviewing and reflecting on your content so that your clients get a better experience every time, and leave you with more raving reviews every time you deliver your content. Unless of course you'd prefer to be known as that teacher who just recycles the same content over, and over, and over....

The final part in our mini-series is all about getting results - and making sure you get double the number next time round. Whether that's RESULTS for your clients or raving reviews, there are 4 simple ways to make sure you get better results - every time.
