Whereas office workers might be sent on courses or receive on-site training, Out of Office workers are often responsible for their own professional education. MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are to education what OOO is to work; they allow you to time-shift and place-shift your learning. In this episode, Chris shares his experience with doing an online course using popular course provider Coursera.

There are so many possible information products you could create that it can be difficult to know where to start. In this short video I’ll show you a very simple system to help you decide which to do first, so you can maximise the benefits for both you and your clients.
Expert Gold Radio brings you monthly ideas, information, interviews and insights into leveraging your leadership – through better communication, on-line learning and Internet marketing.
It’s one thing to have the latest and greatest technology, but another altogether to make sure it’s being used to make yourself and your teams more productive, more effective, and even happier! Donna Hanson, who is an expert in exactly this area, talks about the leadership challenges of integrating technology into an organisation.
The most common way of doing workshops, training, seminars and even conference presentations is by gathering your participants together and presenting to them. But that’s SO 20th-century now (In fact, it’s 19th-century!), especially for adult learners. Modern audiences and clients expect so much more now, and it goes beyond just adding online components to your workshops. Many schools, universities and other educators are increasingly adopting a new approach called “Flipping the Classroom”, and we presenters should be using it as well. In this webinar, I’ll introduce you to this idea, and show you how to use it to add value to your clients, increase your fees, and improve long-term learning.
Suppose your best client came to you for advice about the best way to teach what you know. They want you to design a program for their people, who work all around the world. Money is no object, but they want you to design the absolute best program possible, using whatever technology and other tools are available, and not being constrained at all by what you have done in the past. They want something that’s world’s best practice, and they need your help.
There was a time when most experts – such as speakers, trainers, consultants and thought leaders – delivered one-off face-to-face programs, and nothing else. A few – the smart few – complemented their programs with electronic products, but they were in the minority.
If you’re an expert, you’re probably sitting on a gold mine of potential information products you can create quickly and at low cost. In this webinar, I’ll show you how to turn books into webinars, workshop handouts into on-line courses, PowerPoint slide shows into marketing material, and more.
Don’t just create a single information product – such as a book, a video or an MP3 file. Always create a bundle of related products, so your customers get more value and you increase your sales (and profits!). In this webinar, I’ll show you how to turn a single product into a more valuable product bundle, and also explain how to promote them to your existing clients so you can boost sales and profits.
I love watching what Gary does, because he’s always willing to try new stuff. That’s exactly the right spirit and mindset to have in order to succeed on-line, because there’s no one sure-fire way to success.
