Description

"Tesla Teaching" was written for the Audiovisual industry but it is great for trainers (everyone for that matter) in every industry.There are so many training and communications books out there and many books out there about Nikola Tesla. Most of the books about Nikola Tesla are about the controversial things he did near the end of his life and not about the wondrous inventions or incredible works he accomplished. From what I can tell not a single book out there is about Nikola Tesla AND training. This book is all about developing the attributes that made Nikola the great Training Guru (and communicator) that many may not recognize him as being.Nikola Tesla was one of the key founders of modern technology (including AV.) He also transferred his love for communication and science into the business of training. In his communications he used demonstrations that were incredibly convincing to teach people how safe alternating current was. As engineer and inventor there is no question he was incredibly successful. This book explores how you can apply the training principles developed by one of the most brilliant and creative minds in history.

Read this book to learn to sell train and communicate technology like Nikola.A lot of what you read in this book may be a reminder of what you already know about communicating technology. I believe that we all need to be reminded of what got us where we are and sometimes we need to a little refocusing and a bump back in the right direction. Sometimes we need this so that we can move to the next level. I wrote this book to share things that I know and things I work on regularly to improve on in my own technology training career. It is a constant cycle of learning, applying, relearning and reapplying.50% of the profits from the sales of this book will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in honor of Christine Kopsho and in memory of Brad Weber (an Atlanta based AV industry veteran who lost his courageous battle against Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in September of 2014.)
