Why Pulling Works Better Than Pushing

The use of webinars as an alternative to traditional in-person training sessions and meetings is on the rise, and there are lots of services to help you push presentations and demonstrations out to hundreds or thousands of people located all over the globe.

Pushing information out can be just the ticket for a sales pitch, lecture or demonstration. But, as the use of business webinars extends to management training and leadership development, it’s much more effective to engage the audience and draw on the wisdom of the group as well as the knowledge of the trainer. This is pulling valuable information in.

The opportunity? Interactive webinars hold the promise for increased learning, improved productivity, shorter meetings, greater participation, less multi-tasking and continued collaboration long after the webinar is over.
