I took 2 tele-classes this week and they were both AWESOME!!!!

Don't forget about this great resource! Plus they are FREE! And if you forget to register, call in at the right time anyway... usually there is room!
 
I always enjoyed the tele classes but they don't offer very many in the evening or weekends. I know Consultants volunteer to do them and they have family commitments and/or shows themselves. Sometimes I will listen to the recorded versions. It is great that training is offered to us. Another reason why PC is THE BEST!!!!!
 
*Dumb Question Alert*

What's a tele-class??????
 
Tele-classes are telephone workshops on business topics. You can see the schedule on Consultant's Corner, under Consultant Training. If you can't fit a live one into your schedule, many are recorded and can be downloaded.
 
Very cool! My cluster meetings are like an hour away, and I went to one meeting and I didn't get very much out of it, it wasn't worth a two hours rountrip of my time! But teleclasses sound awesome! I will def check it out. So the live calls, do they allow you to ask questions, etc.??? Just like a real meeting!
 
the leaders have an outline they have to follow, but there is usually time at the end for Q&A. One of my pet peeves is when the leader says to hold questions for the end, and someone keeps asking them, getting the whole course off-track. :rolleyes: If you take a live one and get a "dud" session, check to see if there's a recording of that topic. Those are typically selected based on good content (like the Conference recordings).

The teleclass schedule is also in your Consultant News each month.
 
Actually, it's only included in the Director edition of the newsletter. But the monthly calendar is on CC, with the other Tele Class info.
