Interview with Author: Kassy LaBorie

book cover

Kassy Laborie, Director, Virtual Training Services, Dale Carnegie

What motivated you to write this book? 

I have over 15 years of experience converting activities into the live online environment. I get new ideas all the time, every time I deliver an event. I didn't want to lose them or keep repeating them without the specific knowledge of how I'd done them before. I wanted to document the activities in order to archive them, grow them, and of course, share them with others!

If you could distill your message down to just one - what would it be? 

So you want to engage your online attendees? Get them to interact. To ACT. DO. THINK. Engagement is not elusive if you simply permit people to be active participants to

their 

event rather than passive "attendees" to 

yours

How can trainers use this book to assist them in the work that they do? 

Do you want to make your next online event memorable, exciting and effective? Interact and Engage! is a practical resource, full of over 50  off the shelf recipes for activities you can use right away to engage your participants like never before!

Do you have a personal motto that you live by? 

Practice learning. Practice failing. Practice succeeding! Keep practicing.
