Virtual Trainer: Online Training People Join, 350+ Tools

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

In a physical room, half the trainer’s work is done by the room. Online there is no room, and you find out how much of it you were relying on. Here are 352 tools to replace it: 212 ready-to-use question lists, procedures, checklists and templates, 103 models and methods, 34 services shown on screen and 3 working files.

Open a lecture, take the checklist, and use it for your next live session.

Why online sessions go quiet

Classroom training is moved online as it is: long slides, few questions, no plan for the camera or the chat. Participants switch off their cameras and open email, breakouts fall flat, and nobody can tell whether anything was learned.

What changes after this course

Your online sessions are designed for the screen, with interaction every few minutes, breakouts that work and engagement that lasts. Training is linked to strategy and transfer, and AI helps with content and analytics.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

I ran my first webinar in 2011, at work and later from home, and I have been running them for more than ten years. Webinars need preparation: at one time I used six or seven light sources so the camera would show me well, and I used an external camera until 2014, when laptops got good built-in ones.
