Ray Trygstad: Trainer
 

Let's face it: too many “techies” don’t know how to relate technical topics in terms that can be understood by the average person, and too many “great speakers” do not have a sufficient grasp of technical topics to address them adequately. Throughout my entire working life I have grappled with issues of making technical information accessible to non-technical folks who need to learn to handle a world of rapidly expanding technological impact on both the workplace and daily life. This is where I shine, and where I can be of enormous value to you. Perhaps I'm just lucky; I come from a liberal arts background with an undergraduate degree in European Studies, but earned at a technical school, the U.S. Naval Academy.

In any case, the fact is that I can teach technologically-intense topics to anyone, and make the material clear and accessible. My training is tailored specifically to your needs, and material available covers a broad range of technology, Internet, World Wide Web and multimedia topics. My training is always accompanied by handouts and a companion Web site which include well-researched guides to additional material on the topic.

Here are some typical comments from a one-hour corporate seminar on “Introduction to Web Design”:
