Content & Faculty

You will need to see the description page for the particular seminar you are interested in for this information. If you don't have that web page handy, you will find a link in the box on the right side of this page.
 

Scheduling

You select the day the materials become available to you. We have a regular schedule to set up and take down seminar materials early on Tuesday mornings. You decide if you want your access to begin on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th Tuesday, after the day you register.

If this doesn't work for you, and you need to make special arrangements with us to start this sooner, later, or on a schedule that is different than what is offered here, you will need to pay the "special schedule" fee to cover the cost of staff time needed to handle your request. FYI: The earliest we can gaurantee to see your request and be able to implement it, is by 12 pm (PDT) the next business day after you complete registration payment. You can request it sooner, and if we get the request in time we will do everything we can to fulfill your request, but we cannot gaurantee it.

One on One Consultations with Michael Gilbert

Michael Gilbert has a proven track record of helping individuals and organizations move the ideas he has taught in a seminar from concept to implementation during one on one consultations afterwards. First he will answer any questions you have regarding the seminar materials. But more importantly, you'll have access to the discipline and focus that comes from his twenty years of experience. He can help you develop a plan and get it started. One call or many, it all depends on how much help you need in your particular situation. Each call is 30 minutes in length and should be scheduled to happen after you have watched the seminar and done all of the homework. Also, you may have additional people join the call on your end, if you like.

Location & Timing: These sessions can be held over the phone, or online via chat with audio and video. The timing is somewhat flexible, and should be scheduled with the instructor, within two weeks after the seminar.

Technical Requirements: This depends on how you decide to conduct the consultation. We will discuss this with you when we schedule it.

Pricing: The price for one on one consultations is discounted by more than 50% if you buy it as part of a seminar package.
