We offer live as well as on-demand seminars online. If there is live session coming up, we will advertise it on this page, as well as on the home page of this site, and also announce it on Nonprofit News. The list of available on-demand seminars is on the right side of this page. You can sign up for these seminars any time.
All of our seminars are intended for busy nonprofit staff who don’t have the time to travel to a workshop, but who want to learn to apply strategic communication lessons to their work. Our packages tend to be tightly focused on a particular professional field and our seminars deliver lessons that can be immediately applied within a particular professional’s field of authority. These live, online seminars are designed to teach immediate practical lessons, while still remaining grounded in clear principles.
You are responsible for making sure that you can meet these requirements before you register to attend one of our online seminars. Please feel free to Contact Us with any questions you might have.

Live online seminars presented by The Gilbert Center are open registration seminars, which means that anyone who can meet the technical requirements can attend. They are delivered online. (You can also hire us to present private seminars for your organization, or any group you put together. Read more about our Training Packages here.)
There is a base registration fee for each seminar, which covers the first student. The exact price depends on the seminar (length and complexity). There is a small fee for each additional student watching at the same computer, and at the same time, with the first. You will find the exact pricing on the registration form, which will be linked to from the seminars description page when we are currently accepting registrations for it. If you don’t have a link handy for the seminar, you can try the full topic list.
Date, time, and registration link will be listed on the seminar’s main webpage once we start accepting registrations for a live event. It will also be listed in a special note at the top of this page, once announced.
On-Demand Option: If you would like to attend a live seminar in our calendar, but our schedule doesn’t work for you, then you can now request the “On-Demand” option. What this means is that we will schedule time for you to watch the recording of the seminar when it is most convenient for you, within a couple weeks after the live session. Additionally, all of the seminars listed down the right side of this page are available to be watched on-demand any time that works best for you.
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. He will answer any questions you have regarding the seminar materials, of course, but more importantly, you’ll have access to the discipline and focus that comes from his 20+ 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 within two weeks after the seminar. 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 Skype 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 are scheduling it with you.
Pricing: The price for one-on-one consultations is discounted by more than 50% if you purchase it as part of a seminar package.
