Course Description:

Whether your employee is a novice or a seasoned professional, demonstrations are a great way to provide training. Demonstrations show attendees the level of knowledge available to them through training while being eye-opening and fun for everyone. Tim Ard distributes the information in a way that keeps not only the new employee but also the experienced professional interested in the subject matter. Stories and techniques relating to situations and questions at hand, open minds and update the attitudes of everyone who attends. After attending, your employees will want to learn even more about this subject.
