Many of you in my audiences ask for implementation support but I can only take on half dozen clients last a time. As demand exceeds my capacity, I'm adapting with a highly-effective academic process for scaling my ability to help you.
Introducing the best remote learning methods for enhancing leadership, sales, and organization performance.

Tired of Powerpoint voiceovers
and video monologues?
I know.
In this post-content age, cheap and over-abundant online educational programs now make us worse off.
More access does not mean better results.
Research reveals poor completion rates, minimum application, questionable knowledge transfer, and varying quality or depth.
What To Do?
After much searching, I found it.
Cohort-based courses work!
Centered around communities of peers, better results happen with:
- hands-on engagement
- shared, live lectures
- active participation
- applied learning exercises
- breakout groups
- feedback-based learning
- online coursework
Advancing through the material together, real-time, produces higher learning, retained knowledge, and impact than solo, passive content consumption.

Benefits From Using This Approach
1-Motivation and Engagement
Group experience challenges and motivates students like no other learning platform. It’s a dialogue, not a static, monologue lecture. As in areas of higher-learning, like medical schools, cohort-based courses offer students active and hands-on learning while students design and critique each other’s work. This back-and-forth holds student attention in a way that no lecture can.


2-Collaboration and Innovation
Collaboration drives higher learning and applications. The MIT Teaching & Learning Laboratory found students collaborating together scored higher than average. This dynamic exposure to new ideas results in higher levels of innovation.
3-Accountability and Commitment
Urgent time constraints in live courses with bi-directional knowledge exchange between instructor-student, as well as student-student, drives higher accountability. And the built-in social contract from the cohort drives higher completion rates.


4-Decisiveness
More than just “knowledge transfer,” this type of program drives higher-order skills with feedback, discussion, and hands-on practice. Students leave with intensive learning experiences of analysis, evaluation, synthesis, judgment, and creativity.
5-Community
It's not just content, it’s also about community. Learning alongside a diverse group of peers who share passion for education and an intellectual curiosity develops strong bonds and a supportive learning community. These relationships established support and sustain students beyond the program.
