Dear Visitor to Our Website:

I'm delighted to announce that as of June 1st Kirsten Farrell has assumed the role of Director of The Goodman Center. I will remain actively involved as Director Emeritus (which, I believe, is Latin for "Are you still here?"), and I will continue to co-facilitate both our in-person workshops and virtual classes.

In her new role, Kirsten will take the lead in facilitating all of our online and in-person workshops, she'll develop new curriculum to keep our current classes fresh and relevant, and will also be adding new courses to our lineup. She will be the lead writer of The Goodman Center's new blog (coming soon) to share tools and guidance for public interest professionals and help them better connect with their audiences. You can read more about Kirsten on her bio.

Please join me in congratulating Kirsten on her new role, and thank you for your continued support and interest in everything The Goodman Center does to help do-gooders do better!

Unmuted: What Works, What Doesn’t, and How We Can All Do Better When Working Together Online

About this Webinar (formerly "The Webinar on Webinars")

Based on findings from our new report, this one-hour webinar examines the explosion of videoconferencing triggered by the pandemic and addresses the question: What’s really happening when working together face-to-face means screen-to-screen?

As the report’s title suggests, by pressing “unmute” and letting thousands of people sound off about their daily experiences in videoconferences, we were able to identify best practices worth emulating along with persistent problems that require attention. Like the report, “Unmuted: The Webinar” is divided into nine sections focused on specific aspects of videoconferences such as structure, leadership and facilitation, engagement techniques, and more; and each section includes data-driven recommendations for improving your videoconferences going forward.

Please note: we record each class, so if you ever arrive late, leave early, or even miss an entire session, we’ll send you a link to a recording immediately after the class that you can watch any time up until one week after the class.

The Honor System: We ask that anyone attending the class live, watching the class recording, or planning to participate in any capacity be registered as a student.

CANCELLATION POLICY: We understand that schedules can change, so if you need to cancel your registration, you can do so and receive a full refund up to 24 hours before the start of the first class. We cannot honor requests for cancellation after this deadline, but we will always provide links to stream the recordings of the classes in case you cannot attend live sessions.

MORE CLASSES COMING SOON

Our report about best practices in videoconferencing, based on responses from 4,405 survey respondents, will be released in October. We'll be scheduling classes at that time to tell you all about what we learned from the survey.
