Public Online Sessions

I provide short, intense seminars of 60 minutes on topics you need to know about right now. These are hosted on Zoom, starting at noon EST, and will deliver vital information on a range of topics that are essential to your professional skill set today. These include AI tools and strategies, personal productivity, cybersecurity best practices, communication skills, project management, wellness, and many more. The full list is below. These courses are digests of longer sessions that I deliver to companies and universities every week, but build to fit into your busy day. Always up to date and relevant, they allow a digest of vital techniques, backed up with a recording, transcript and summary, as well as ongoing conversation after the session to allow the learning to be absorbed iteratively and asynchronously, which is how I believe all learning should happen. Frankly, I believe an hour is a better period of time than a half-day or a full day, at least to start. You get the key, actionable points, while avoiding information overload. Basically, you get what you need to feel comfortable with the topic. You can build on this later using iterative learning as needed.

Participants will learn how to assess and visualize their current state, define meaningful targets, and identify opportunities for improvement, using concepts related to performance measurement, benchmarking, and best practices, including Lean principles, Kaizen, Six Sigma, and Total Productive Maintenance.

  • Project Management Advanced: Tuesday, August 4, 2026, 12:00 p.m. EDT
  • First, the bad news. You can't fully learn advanced project management in an hour. It's a highly nuanced art and science that requires regularly updated expertise in areas such as estimation, risk management cost-benefit analysis and people management/leadership. But the good news is that you can learn the starting components of these vital elements of advanced project management, and then you can turn to other resources such as YouTube, and LLMs to add to your knowledge piece-by piece and as you need. This sessions is here to set you on a path toward lifelong learning in the area of project management which itself is a highly sought-after professional skill. In this one hour I will discuss the vital areas of project management that embody the "advanced" level. These include: optimizing project schedules, advanced risk management strategies, leadership, leveraging generative AI and agentic AI in project management, and advanced communication and stakeholder management.
