What In The World Is A Virtual Class? by Sherry Cardinal and Laurie Geary A virtual class is a live, real time and interactive class conducted over the telephone through a state-of-the-art teleconferencing bridge system. During the virtual class you will receive timely tips, tools, strategies and techniques that can benefit the evolution of your life or business immediately. Teleclasses can be for any subject or even used as a support group for any type of need. Virtual classes are confidential and convenient. You can call from the comfort of your home or office while eliminating travel time and expenses. You can call in from anywhere and will meet others from just about everywhere else! Top Ten Advantages & Benefits of Taking a Virtual Class INFORMATION/TRAINING: You gain valuable information, get new ideas, and/or learn new skills based on the topic of the teleclass. CONVENIENCE & COMFORT: You can make the call from your home or office (or car or boat or airplane!); you can call from your bed or your bathtub or your hot tub...you can wear whatever you want: your pajamas, your bathing suit, or nothing at all! You can call from a hammock in Tahiti..while on vacation...or at work. Wherever you are, if there is a telephone, you can take a teleclass. HASSLE-FREE: No commuting hassles...no rush hour traffic to deal with...no parking problems. TIME-SAVING: A one-hour call is just one hour. No need to include commuting time or parking time with your class time. MONEY-SAVING: Many virtual classes are free, most are inexpensive. Gas and parking for a regular class will cost much more than that! DIVERSITY: Participants call in from all over the United States (and the world!) so that you experience points of view and get new ideas from a variety of people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. CONNECTION: Participants report feeling connected to a diverse group of people with a common interest or concern. You truly get to experience and be part of our global community! INCREASED PARTICIPATION: Virtual classes are highly interactive..as if everyone is sitting in the front row. It can be easier to share and be heard...to ask questions and to get feedback. However, you can also choose to just sit and listen i.e. be in the back row. INCREASED INTIMACY: Because of the anonymity of the virtual class, many participants report that it is easier to share more personal concerns/situations; they feel safer to take more risks...which can lead to greater insights and even breakthroughs. People also report the comfort they feel by hearing that they are not alone in their concerns. CUTTING-EDGE LEARNING: You are in the Vanguard...the first Wave...of this exciting learning modality and will be with others who are also on THE Wave. Therefore there tends to be higher-level discussions and deeper learning. You are with a select group of people who, like you, want to be in the forefront..take risks..grow and evolve!
