CompassPoint Webinars

New online courses you can attend from your desk!

All classes are produced by The Goodman Center exclusively for the CompassPoint community.

All the workshops are:

Designed for professionals who act in the public good—the challenges you face, the multiple audiences you address, the competing noise you must overcome
Intimate. Twenty-five students maximum per class. Engaging. Everyone talks. Everyone learns.
Participative. There’s homework. Not too much – we know you’re busy – but just enough to exercise what you’ve learned in class and to ensure you’re ready to apply the skills you’ve acquired on the job.
Convenient. All you need is a computer, a phone, the Internet, and a little time. Another plus: all the classes are recorded so you can review them online.
Cost-effective. Tuition for most courses is kept low and every dollar goes to learning: no airfare, no hotel rooms, no taxis!

Courses include:
