About this workshop

Deepening Your Impact

In a time with limited resources and limited attention spans, this 3-part webinar series is designed to help you deepen the impact of your self-paced trainings. In the first webinar, you’ll learn how to pare down the content of your trainings to focus on the skills your participants need most. In the second webinar, you’ll learn how to communicate in straightforward language and choose voices that will reflect and resonate with your participants. In the final webinar, you’ll learn how to record quality audio from home so you can maximize resources for your training.

Part 1: Scoping Down Trainings to be More Action-Oriented

You’ll learn a 4-question framework to use when creating online trainings. We’ll be discussing this framework as applied to the development of a recent online training for dental hygienists.


What you'll learn

After completing this course, participants will be able to...

  • Distinguish between the “nice to know” and the “need to know” information for a training
  • Identify the knowledge, skills, and mindsets for each training you design
  • Communicate the behavior changes you hope to result from your trainings
  • Explain the “north star” for your trainings that will guide your decision-making
