Workshop: Performance-Focused Smile Sheets

This workshop is in hiatus until the publication of the book.

FORMAT:  This is a workout-workplace workshop. It includes traditional presentations, but it also includes reinforcing decision-making practice, realistic exercises, and personal coaching on your final work product. This workshop is designed based on scientific research–to enable you to take what you’ve learned and put it into practice–successfully!

ECONOMY OPTION:  While the workout aspects of the learning experience are highly recommended (because it is in iterative practice with feedback that we fully develop our skills), we realize that some people may not be fully able to commit to the more rigorous format offered. Therefore, we offer a presentation-only format at a lower cost.

TOPIC:  You will learn why traditional smile sheets fail in predicting learning results. You’ll learn how scientific research makes this clear. You’ll also learn about Dr. Will Thalheimer’s new smile sheet design–based on years of research and development. Indeed, the Performance-Focused Smile Sheet is the first major upgrade on traditional smile sheets in generations.

GUARANTEE:  100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.

TIME FRAME:  Three online sessions will be offered one week apart in January

HOMEWORK:  Darn right!! This is serious stuff…

AVAILABILITY:  Only 12 seats available…

ONLINE MEETINGS:  Monday, Wednesday, Friday during the same week

MEETING TECHNOLOGY:  GoToWebinar (GoToMeeting)

CREATOR, WORKSHOP FACILITATOR, and YOUR PERSONAL COACH:  Dr. Will Thalheimer.
