Welcome to the Post-COVID Era of the Modern Workplace!
WORDS FROM DR. JAY / February 2023
The current state of business and education is widely turning in a difficult direction. In the business world, many companies are facing organizational restructuring. Add the effects of COVID-19 and the remote learning change, and you will find that change has become more difficult than ever.
Because of this, I decided to start sharing my most significant insights in regards to engaging others. My goal is to help you to resonate with anyone, anytime. As a best-selling author and award-winning leader in facilitation, I have both breadth and depth in the fields of K-12 Education, Instructional Design, Corporate Training, Software, and Leadership and Development. There are few people who have the academic, business, pedagogical, and andragogic knowledge to produce life-changing practices that are so succinctly identified.
I have recently published a book, titled Conquering the Seven C's for Better Face-to-Face and Online Teaching. I hope that either the Seven C's, the seminars, or my consulting can help you and your team with navigating the choppy waters that is Post-COVID communication.
I have also built a curriculum that helps teachers work through those waters more efficiently. Our company, New Horizons, is one of the frontier organizations on this change and would be happy to guide your team through those waters!
Conquering the Seven C's for Better Face-to-Face and Online Teaching changes the game of "classroom engagement and management."
What makes this book different? The strategies provided are universal! They work for anyone who teach others, regardless of job! There are no books out there that focus on bringing quality-based education to life. It is self-reflective and empowering in the way it connects.
