Transforming Overwhelm into Success: The Power of Webinars
This chapter explores the role of webinars in tackling Excel skills challenges faced by professionals. It highlights the use of testimonials and visual aids to encourage participation and showcase the positive impact on students' careers.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Kat Norton discovered TikTok and found it odd that there was no Excel content on the platform. She decided to start posting dance-infused tutorials, and her videos went viral. She then launched multiple Excel courses that quickly generated more income than her corporate salary.
