We offer a regular rotation of live seminars online. These are intended for busy nonprofit staff who don't have the time to travel to a workshop, but who want to learn to apply strategic communication lessons to their work. Our packages tend to be tightly focused on a particular professional field and our seminars deliver lessons that can be immediately applied within a particular professional's field of authority. These live, online seminars are designed to teach immediate practical lessons, while still remaining grounded in clear principles.
 

You are responsible for making sure that you can meet these requirements before you register to attend one of our online seminars. Please feel free to Contact Us with any questions you might have.

Seminar sessions are broadcast to you via Quicktime, and you are able to send in questions during the session via AOL Instant Messenger. For this you will need:

• An internet connection (broadband will yield improved performance)
• An email account and email address
• A free AOL Instant Messaging account and client software (AIM Web Site)
• Directions to get a free screen name
• Install AIM on your computer
• Or see the help page linked to below for other options.
• The free Quicktime Player plugin (Quicktime Free Download)
  • The ability to access this test movie with Quicktime.

If you're having trouble, check the Technical Help page.
 

You will need to see the description page for the particular seminar you are interested in for this information. If you don't have that web page handy, try the Calendar, or full topic list.
 

Live online seminars presented by The Gilbert Center are open registration seminars, which means that anyone can attend. And they are held online. (See technical requirements above.)

There is a base registration fee for each seminar, which covers the first student. The exact price depends on the seminar (length and complexity). There is a small fee for each additional student watching at the same computer, and at the same time, with the first. You will find the exact pricing on the registration form, which will be linked to from the seminars description page, and the Calendar page, when we are currently accepting registrations for it. If you don't have that handy, you can also find it on the topic list.
 

For live sessions, you will want to check our calendar for the date and time of each upcoming seminar. It will also be listed on the main webpage for that seminar once we start accepting registrations for it.

New On-Demand Option: If you would like to attend a live seminar in our calendar, but our schedule doesn't work for you, then you can now request the "On-Demand" option. What this means is that we will schedule time for you to watch the recording of the seminar when it is most convenient for you, within a couple weeks after the live session.
 

Additional Resources

To support your implementation of what you learn.

Publications

We often recommend a particular publication or two that relate most closely with the topic of the seminar. These will be listed on the registration form with links to more info, for your consideration.

Michael Gilbert has a proven track record of helping individuals and organizations move the ideas he has taught in a seminar from concept to implementation during one on one consultations afterwards. He will answer any questions you have regarding the seminar materials, of course. But more importantly, you'll have access to the discipline and focus that comes from his 20+ years of experience. He can help you develop a plan and get it started. One call or many, it all depends on how much help you need in your particular situation. Each call is 30 minutes in length and should be scheduled within two weeks after the seminar. Also, you may have additional people join the call on your end, if you like.

Location & Timing: These sessions can be held over the phone, in person, or online via chat with audio and video. The timing is somewhat flexible, and should be scheduled with the instructor, within two weeks after the seminar.

Technical Requirements: This depends on how you decide to conduct the consultation. We will discuss this with you when we are scheduling it with you.

Pricing: The price for one on one consultations is discounted by more than 50% if you purchase it as part of a seminar package.
