Sneak Peek | 2025 Training Event Schedule

Here’s a sneak peek at my 2025 schedule for live online training for those of you who like to play ahead. I have over 40 topics, so most are offered only once a year.

A few Notes

Some things to know:

• Events occur via the Zoom meeting platform on Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm Central time, USA (Eastern 8:00pm | Mountain 6:00pm | Pacific 5:00pm ).
• Registration for all sessions will open in the last quarter of 2024.
• Registration costs $20, but you can save money with one of my free or paid membership options.
• All events are pre-approved professional development in IL, MI, MO, NE, OK, and WI. Last I checked, my certificates are accepted for professional development in AL, AZ, and SD in the United States and BC in Canada.
• Most topics can be booked for private online or in-person training events. You can contact me for more information.
• You can download a PDF of the information below for easy printing or sharing.
