Times:
1-day Mastering Virtual Presentation Skills Workshop
8.45am for 9.00am start – 5.00pm
Pre-work to sort out before you arrive:
– All participants are expected to be present for the entire workshop.
– Please don’t organise appointments during training as this reduces the effectiveness of the customised activities that have been designed assuming everyone will be in attendance for the duration.
Please Note – you can’t be late!
This is a group learning experience and the activities have been designed with full numbers to help everyone perform at their best.
We ask that you please arrange to be present for the entire program to ensure maximum effectiveness for everyone.
Warwick’s role is to ensure everyone achieves the outcomes promised. Collectively Warwick and Michelle have delivered the 2-day version of this masterclass over 1000 times (over nearly 3 decades) and unfortunately due to frequent late arrivals over the years we have been forced to make some decisions that may seem very tough or rigid to you.
Because late arrivals mean we cannot start on time, and due to a packed agenda each day and the fact that past participants have expressed a strong need for us to finish by 5pm, we must advise you that participants who are more than 15 minutes late are not admitted to the workshop regardless of the reason.
We greatly respect that you have other commitments that may prevent you from arriving on time.
Please SMS Warwick on 0408592158 immediately if our scheduled start time poses a problem for you.
Phones and emails
As you probably know, phone calls can disrupt proceedings and impact negatively on everyone’s learning outcomes – even when online.
– For your own comfort and the comfort of your colleagues, we would be grateful if you could please close all your apps and alerts on your computer and switch your phone to silent and leave it away from your training space.
– This training day is YOUR time! Please consider setting your OOO so people know not to expect you to be available.
– There will be time for you to take important calls in the scheduled breaks.
Don’t plan to party the night before!!!
We further recommend you do not plan client meetings/dinners on the night before the program to ensure you have enough energy to learn at your best.
Michelle and Warwick pride themselves on their generosity and ability to achieve results through learning and laughter. We want your experience with us to be joyful. If you are concerned about anything at all before you attend training with us, please email Michelle at michelle@michellebowden.com.au or send a text message to Michelle on 0412 391170 and she will be delighted to help you.
