Their great stories\, examples and anecdotes feel like dull monologues without the energy of the real-life room. \nJoin our expert team to push your online training to its limits to excite and engage your audiences. \n  \nAbout the Workshop\nIn this interactive training session\, we’ll look at different ways to break out of the box and level up our live training. You should come away buzzing with tips\, tricks and techniques to make your live training more engaging for both the audience – and the trainer. \nIt’s going to be a live workshop\, so we won’t be recording the event. Come along to enjoy a live interactive session with the team\, get involved\, ask questions\, get real answers and come away with practical ways to improve your own training sessions. \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nRichard leads workshop development for Enterprise CUBE CIC and has been finding new ways to deliver online workshops since 2013. Since the pandemic\, there’s been an explosion in audiences and the available technology. \nThis workshop is being run in response to the number of people that come to our workshops and ask – how are you doing that? \n  \nBeyond the Workshop – Level-Up Your Way\nAfter the workshop you’ll get access to our Level-Up your Live Training on-demand course\, so you can tackle the technical and practical elements of improving your own training at your own pace with step-by-step demonstrations and guidance on a wide range of topics – from creator confidence to studio design or selecting affordable equipment. \n  \nDetails: Tuesday 21 July\, 10am – 11am | Online\n  \nDelivered by Enterprise CUBE CIC\, this project is part of the LX Foundry series which is supporting local providers to design new and improved learner experiences. \nSupported by David Skaith\, Mayor of York and North Yorkshire and funded by York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority. \n
