Hello everyone
I hope you are all managing to keep safe (and sane!) as you work from home this week. If you’re anything like me, it has been a challenge just keeping up with the basics while helping home school our three children. As I watch the impact of Coronavirus unfold around us, I am particularly grateful to everyone who has worked with us to move their trainings online (enabling us to retain our staff on full pay). You can see how our courses work online here and browse all our new online courses here.
Over the coming weeks, I’m going to be doing a series of free interactive webinars to give you free access to the newest and best loved Fast Track Impact training sessions. Bookings have opened for the first two webinars and new sessions will be added regularly, so keep checking back. Participants get exclusive access to a PDF copy of The Research Impact Handbook and a video recording of the session. However, places are limited to 100 per webinar, so book now to avoid disappointment. I’d love to hear from you with suggestions for future webinars - just hit reply and let me know!
Fast Track Impact webinars and online courses are designed to be more interactive than a traditional face-to-face course, and are a great way to stay connected to colleagues with similar interests when face-to-face contact isn’t possible.
