Helping you show up at your best - virtually!

 

 

Let’s build something together


Virtual Production

Once you have your event or learning session structured and planned, and once it is laid out on the best platform and you have communicated it precisely to your audience, your success still depends largely on having the right producer in the room.

You need someone who can provide technical help to a struggling attendee via private chat while admitting others to the room, moving slides, monitoring session activities, and being fully supportive to presenters. You need someone who can pull all the pieces together at session start, all while calmly delivering a seamless experience.

I have produced thousands of hours of live learning sessions and events. Topics have covered everything from how to clean and repair a beer keg for a global brewery to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion roundtables for corporate senior leaders.

I am not a button-pusher; I consider myself your partner. Everything I do reflects on you and I take that very seriously.

Whether you need a fully developed long-term learning/event strategy, or a short term plan for rolling out information and connecting your teams, I put my 15 years of experience in event and learning strategy and planning to work to help make your event a success.


Instructional Design

The most critical aspect of any learning event - whether it’s a user manual, online help, or a virtual presentation - is making sure that the information is properly positioned for your audience, that it meets your learning objectives, and that your learners are fully equipped to launch their new knowledge into action. With more than 20 years as a technical writer and elearning producer, I can help you get the most out of your learning initiatives - wherever the learning takes place.


Platform Education

If you build it, will they come?

First, it depends on how you built it. Second, it depends on whether they know what to do with it when they get there.

Some more robust learning and event platforms* such as Adobe Connect require more in the way of room design and configuration to be effective. Others such as Zoom and WebEx Meeting Center rely more heavily on knowing how to achieve the design you want using the available features within the platform and sometimes integrating third party applications to fill the gaps.

I have extensive experience with many popular learning and meeting platforms. Whether you need training for yourself, for your Learning & Development facilitators, or for your entire organization, I can design and deliver platform training that is accessible and non-threatening. My style is warm and approachable because I understand that technology can be intimidating; platform education shouldn’t be.

Event Recording & Editing

Having polished recordings of your event or learning session can not only extend your reach, but it can increase your ROI and promote your brand organically. When learning attendees have last-minute conflicts that prevent them from joining, a session recording is invaluable. And when your event or conference sessions are recorded you can use that content to generate revenue and promote the next event. In the right hands, your session recording can extend the value of your content and enable you to take advantage of countless marketing and communication opportunities.

I have had the pleasure of working with Julie on many occasions in numerous contexts. The expertise and grace she brings to production is quite remarkable. My colleagues and I are able to focus on the client knowing that all the “behind the scenes” work will go smoothly. I highly recommend her.

Let’s talk

It doesn’t cost anything to have a conversation with me about your project. And I will never employ high-pressure sales tactics in my communications with you. I want you to have the best possible partner so that you end up with the best event or training you’re capable of producing. I hope that will be by partnering with me, but even if we don’t end up working together, wouldn’t it be fun to tell me about your project? I know I want to hear all about it.
