SUMMARY:From Overwhelm to Organized; Technology Tips & Techniques to Serve You
DESCRIPTION:Technology is supposed to make life easier … but more often than not it becomes just one more time suck. \nEvery other day there’s a new app or new software “you just have to try!” and you secretly wish everything would slow down — just a teensy bit — to give you time to catch up. \nThink about it: your bank’s gone online\, your kids’ school messages you through Whatsapp\, heck\, you’re even supposed to know how to control the temperature of your house from your cell phone! \nAnd the weird thing is\, everyone else just “gets it”. They seem to pick up on the latest thing with ease\, while you’re still trying to get your head round the last big thing. \nDon’t get me wrong\, you’re not against all of this techy progress — you’re not looking to get back to the time when it took like 3 hours for your dial-up to connect. You just need things to be a little clearer\, a little more … accessible. \nBecause when it comes to technology: \n— You don’t have the time to muddle through “how to” guides that require a PhD-level education to get past the first page. \n— You’re sick of feeling like the only person who doesn’t “get it” — hey\, you’re not that old\, right? You remember chuckling at your mom when she couldn’t work the VCR and now you wonder if you’re turning into her… \n— You’re actually pretty curious to find out what the fuss is all about. I mean\, who doesn’t want to take advantage of things that’ll make life easier\, especially when your schedule is just so darn hectic. \nPanic over\, I’ve got your back!\nI work with smart\, savvy\, seekers and meaning makers like you. Women (mostly) who are globally-minded and who are on a mission to change the world — or at least their small corner of it. Women who aren’t about to let a little thing like a slight(ish) fear of new technology hold them back. \nBecause all of the lovely new tech available to us really is a gift that can help us amp up our efficiency and make our lives sooo much easier. IF we can figure out how to harness it. \nImagine if you could…\n\nFeel capable\, energized\, encouraged\, and confident when it comes to tech. Instead of burying your head in the sand when you hear about the latest time-saving app\, you’ll be lining up to get your hands on it!\n\n\nHave fun as you discover how to benefit from the power of very simple tech tools (Yes I just used fun and technology in the same sentence. I stand by my choice!)\n\n\nGain control of your to-do list. Because life is frantic and you really don’t want to miss out on ANYTHING that’ll help make running your day-to-day schedule easier.\n\n\nReign in those mind numbing\, soul sucking\, repetitive tasks that drive you batty — I’m looking at you\, finance records and diary management.\n\n\nMaster simple tech tools without having to learn a bunch of jargon\, without hours of hard slog\, and without getting sucked into the time-wasting black hole of the Internet (you know\, the place where they keep all those cat videos…)\n\n\nBe more efficient so you can devote space and time to the things that truly matter to you; the unique gifts you have to offer the world.\n\nThere are soooo many free\, easy tech tools out there and I can show you how to harness them effectively\, helping you reduce overwhelm\, make your life easier\, and amp up your efficiency so you can recharge\, reboot\, and (re)activate your superpowers. I’ll introduce you to  uncovered possibilities haven’t even dreamt of; ways of using tech that will free up your time\, letting you get back to what really matters — making the world a better place in your own cool\, creative way. \nIt’s time to set aside the fear that you’re “past it” (you’re really not!)\, or that you’ve “missed the boat”. (You haven’t. Promise). \nYou’ve got this; you just need a little help in navigating all of that lovely new technology. \nYou need to find your way from Overwhelm to Organized. \nHow it works:\n\nRegister by paying $97 USD here to secure your spot.\nThen email the name of the colleague or friend you’d like to join you on the course. Yep\, because I’m all about building community and we all know how great it is to have someone to help you absorb your new skills\, the price above is 2 for 1.\nThen you’ll both receive my bonus primer on how to get the bestest and mostest out of the course (don’t worry nothing heavy\, just simple things to do to get ready to soak up the learning).\n\nBonuses:\nYou’ll get access to the course recording; both audio and visual\, so you can choose which works best for you \n\nYou’ll receive once a week tips and techniques that’ll help you apply all the good stuff you’ve learnt and help you start using your newfound skills.\nYou’ll get access to an online treasure trove of resources; easy peasy\, all in one place ready and waiting for you to access anytime you wish.\nAnd remember you get to bring along a buddy or a colleague (or a colleague buddy). For free!\n\nThe Result?  \n\nYou’ll be able to use free\, simple tech tools that bring bucketfuls of ease and efficiency to your work and personal life.\nYou’ll feel absolute confidence in your ability to install\, use\, and benefit from that new time-saving app everyone is raving about.\nYou’ll find you actually ENJOY using tech tools — as well as appreciating the heck out of the time and energy they save you each day.\n\nReady to find a way to take care of those tedious\, repetitive tasks with ease?

SUMMARY:Training of Trainers
DESCRIPTION:“The best teachers teach from the heart\, not the book.” \n\nHave you heard that one before? Isn’t that cute? \nNow forget it! \nYou already know that loving a subject and being able to teach it well are two totally different things. That’s why you’re here\, right? \nI’m willing to bet that at least one of these sounds familiar to you:\n\nYou’re burning and yearning to teach but get brain freeze — when you try to teach\, nothing comes out. Suddenly your tongue is tied up tighter than a bank vault.\nThe thought of public speaking gives you literal\, waking up at 2am in a cold sweat\, nightmares (and the old adage of imagining everyone naked is decidedly unhelpful\, and a little disturbing!)\nMaybe you’ve taught before but you secretly fear that\, horror of horrors\, your fabulous content didn’t sink in. It was the glazed eyes of your students that gave it away.\nYou know in theory that it’s important to appeal to all different kinds of learners but you don’t have the first idea how to do that.\nYou’re Overwhelmed (with a capital O) and don’t know where to start. How do you organize your material? How much should you include? How to teach so you’re not lecturing? Do you really have to wear a tweed jacket with elbow patches?\nYou need some quick\, interesting techniques — that are simple but not simplistic — to move forward so you can get up and running quickly with your teaching.\n\nYou’re in the right place.  \nI work with smart\, savvy\, seekers and meaning makers like you. Women (mostly) who are globally-minded and who are on a mission to change the world — or at least their small corner of it. \nNo matter how important your information is (and we both know how hard you’ve worked to master your area\, huge high five!)\, no matter how excited you are about the subject\, if you don’t know how to share it effectively … it might as well not exist. I know\, serious stuff\, right?  But relief is at hand.  \nIt’s time to mix passion with strategy.\nI can show you how to:\n\nDip into a vast toolbox of simple\, easy tips and techniques that you can use right away (AKA before your next workshop).\nUse proven methods for designing an effective curriculum\, structuring trainings\, and delivering them in a way that works for everyone in the class (and not just the people who learn like you)\, while encouraging maximum retention.\nConfidently address ANY room and know that you can get your subject across articulately and effectively –– even if right now\, the thought of public speaking makes you want to curl up in a little ball.\n\nI’ll share my top tips and techniques that I’ve honed by teaching more than 20\,000 participants from more than 120 countries\, in diverse settings from slums to the C-Suite. \n\nTogether we’ll pull you out of the trenches of teaching frustration\, fatigue\, and wheel spinning and get you effectively teaching with ease.\n— No more feeling like you’ve totally wasted your time because you can just see the information trickling out of your students’ heads as they walk out the door –– and you know that this time next month they’ll barely remember who you are\, much less what you taught them. \n— No more feeling like you’re banging your head against the wall with the same teaching challenges — the so-called “problem students” you’re struggling to reach or those harder-to-teach concepts that never quite seem to hit the mark and leave your attendees scratching their heads. \n— No more lying awake at night worrying that you’re expending all of your energy on techniques that don’t actually work\, or spending hours trawling Pinterest for teaching tips\, only to find advice that doesn’t really seem relevant to your students or the subject you’re teaching. \nInstead you’ll be able to teach confidently\, be seen\, heard\, and understood while lowering your blood pressure and getting back to what’s important to you — making the world a better place in your own cool\, creative way by teaching your cool\, creative content. \nI’ll show you what to do to make everyone feel included and the steps you need to take to help your students enjoy themselves and engage with the material. Because\, as you know\, when you’re enjoying yourself you find it soooo much easier to absorb\, remember\, and practice what you’re learning so that it’s actually effective long term. \nYou’ll discover pocketfuls of creativity you never knew you had so you can amp up your next workshop\, impress your boss\, your students — and yourself. \nSoon\, you’ll be designing and delivering workshops with ease and grace\, in ways that are super impactful and leave lasting learning.\nLee-Anne has given me superpowers. \n\nLearning about how people learn has been transformative for me – and for my clients\, and everyone else I teach. Now in my teaching\, I know what to do in order to make everyone feel included\, which helps them enjoy themselves\, which – most importantly – helps them learn\, remember and practise what I’m teaching\, so that it’s ACTUALLY effective. We’ve all been to those workshops where\, a month later\, we remember nothing and nothing has changed. \n\nThanks to what Lee-Anne has taught me\, my workshops will be ones that lead directly to people learning\, remembering\, and incorporating what I’ve taught them. ~Marsha Shandur\, Storytelling Coach and Networking Mentor\, YesYesMarsha.com \nHow it works\n\nRegister by paying $97 USD here to secure your spot.\nThen email me with the name of the friend or colleague you’d like to join you on the course. Yep\, because I’m all about building community and we all know how great it is to have someone to help you absorb new skills\, the price above is 2 for 1.\nThen you’ll both receive my bonus primer on how to get the bestest and mostest out of the course (don’t worry nothing heavy\, just simple things that’ll help you soak up the learning).\n\nBonuses!\n\nYou’ll get free bonus tips for how to harness tech tools in your teaching to really amp up your students’ learning.\nYou’ll get access to the course recording\, both audio and visual\, so you can choose which works best for you.\nYou’ll receive once a week tips and techniques to help you apply all the good stuff you’re learning and start using your newfound skills.\nYou’ll get access to an online treasure trove of teaching resources; easy peasy\, all in one place\, ready and waiting for you to access anytime you wish.\nAnd remember you get to bring along a buddy or a colleague (or a colleague buddy). For free!\n\nThank you again for all the resources and your teachings.  I learned so much from you in such a small amount of time and found your workshop so useful and of great value.” ~ Karina Edora \n  \nThe Result?  \n\nYou’ll finally be able to put your energy into designing and delivering effective workshops instead of wasting time worrying about how you’re being perceived as a teacher.\nYou’ll have a bank of proven tips and techniques at your fingertips\, ready to help you design workshops easily\, with minimum fuss.\nYou’ll finally be able to relax with your students and have fun teaching instead of being all up tight and stressed out. This is your passion\, remember\, you want to enjoy it!\nYou’ll have superstar strategies up your sleeve to help turn those so called “problem” students into confident\, motivated learners.\n\nReady to design and deliver workshops with ease and grace? Ready to share your passion in ways that are super impactful and leave lasting learning? Ready to affect that social change you’ve been yearning for with your particular subject matter expertise? Then let’s go! \nYour next steps:\n\nRegister right now by paying $97 USD here.\nThen email me the name of the colleague or friend who’ll be joining you on the course.\n\n“Lee-Anne’s style\, delivery\, and content is wonderfully enjoyable and effective.” ~ Alolan Remedios\, Global Stewardship Program at Capilano University
