Online Training

For years I have resisted presenting online training. This stems from my belief that no educational experience is better than being in the room with a well-qualified and enthusiastic instructor where you can ask questions and exchange thoughts.

I still believe that.

But the world is going online. Clients want access to classes 24 hours a day and an online version costs less than having old Wade come in with his stories and questions, although that is obviously an experience to be cherished.

I'll still teach live workshops but am preparing online versions of my classes on leadership, harassment prevention, ethical decision making, and supervision. Others will follow on customer service, followership, and other topics.

They will be available on a public and in-house basis. The idea is to make them easily available.

Many years back, I developed and taught a supervisor's workshop for Dun & Bradstreet. I received royalties whenever another instructor used my materials. There was something intensely pleasurable when a letter arrived announcing that winter sessions of my class were being taught in Montreal, Buffalo, or Minneapolis while I sat in Phoenix.

Yes, the online option has its advantages.
