Think about your last professional development, training or education offering. Was it the traditional sit and get… you know, the ones where everyone stares at a screen or presenter for 2 hours with limited engagement?
Did you notice that people were excessively popping in & out of your event? Did they seem distracted, uninterested or bored?
Were you worried they were on their phones more than on the call?
Zoom style calls are notoriously hard for our brains to process because there is just too much stimulation (backgrounds, mute/unmuting issues, can’t make eye contact with anyone, too many faces in the gallery). This causes a Zoombie effect – people turning into Zoom Zombies who simply cannot keep focusing in a virtual environment.
If you are struggling to find PD that is engaging, NOT VIRTUAL and provides information that your employees & clients can easily understand, digest and APPLY to their role, then you and I need to chat….like last week.
There are NO more Zoombies at the Wheelhouse. That’s because we have converted all of our in-person, onsite and virtual workshops into three new online academies that provide MICROTraining via a text based delivery system and include topics around Personal Growth, Team Building and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.
We can also help you avoid Zoombies by transferring your existing training content into a text based model… onboarding, compliance, sales, customer service… if you can teach it, you can text it!

Taking inspired action to BE THE CHANGE you want to see in your organization is no easy task. It takes a SHIFT TON of work. Crafting the perfect Diversity and Inclusion Improvement Plan (DIIP) requires a deep dive into your existing polices, procedures, processes and structure. It requires commitment, resources and subject matter experts to guide you on your journey. It includes FINDING JOY and using it to drive change. If you were rebuilding a car engine, wouldn’t you want a licensed MECHANIC rather than an apprentice?
