Hi!
                            If the experiential workshop intrigues you, get
                            in touch. Until we have a quorum (nine
                            participants), I’m quite flexible about the
                            duration, workload, and objectives for the
                            event. Since there will be a maximum of ten of
                            us, we can personalize things to your situation.

                            There won’t be a set curriculum. I have lots in
                            mind but we’re going to go with what works
Jay Cross                   for you. At least half of our live sessions will be
                            devoted to questions & answers.

                            Timing is flexible, too. We could do things every
                            other week. Or we could spent two weeks
                            together instead of four. I’d prefer to kick
                            things off in August 2012.

                            Since I’m essentially the product, you need to

  • 3. Hi! If the experiential workshop intrigues you, get in touch. Until we have a quorum (nine participants), I’m quite flexible about the duration, workload, and objectives for the event. Since there will be a maximum of ten of us, we can personalize things to your situation. There won’t be a set curriculum. I have lots in mind but we’re going to go with what works Jay Cross for you. At least half of our live sessions will be devoted to questions & answers. Timing is flexible, too. We could do things every other week. Or we could spent two weeks together instead of four. I’d prefer to kick things off in August 2012. Since I’m essentially the product, you need to check me out if you don’t know me. I’ve posted http://about.me/jaycross most of my LinkedIn recommendations and my Skype: jaycross bio on the pages that follow for you to look at. jaycross@internettime.com 1 (510) 528-3105
