About the lesson

One-on-one help for folks with technology phobias

You may have a technology phobia if:

•You have not really tried to learn computers.

•You only use your computer to
write letters, send email and maybe dabble in social networking web sites.

•You don't know what the difference is between
"intuitive" and "counter-intuitive" interactive design.

•You bought a digital camcorder (a camera that can also record video with audio) on sale for $200,
then let it gather dust on your shelf
because you couldn't figure out how to turn it on or off.
Let alone, how to take photos or shoot video,
then save that media file to your computer and
email a compressed version of your masterpieces to friends and family.

•You have no time to take a 8-16 week class in basic computers.

•Add your other computer phobias here:
____________________________________________.
Need more room to complete your personal list of computer phobias?
I know you do:

Solution that can end the madness:
What you need is a series of one-on-one sessions
with the Computer Coach (me) to:
•rapidly hand-hold you through the basics.
•so a new world will open.

Stop being afraid of that little dumb box
•on your desk called a "computer" or
the more fashionable phone, digital assistant, tablet, etc.,
•in your pocket/purse/briefcase called a "mobile device."

You are not alone.
But now is your time to come out of the technologically phobic closet.

8-)

Your investment for a brighter future:
Computer Coach offers private sessions: $50/hour.
Upshot: your advance payment reserves my time.

BTW:
•No charge for my travel if you are within a 20 minute drive
of Mill Valley, California, USA.

Not even in California nor the USA?
No problem:
I also work long-distance, both nationally and internationally
•via phone, email and video conferencing.

Note:
Video conferencing is a relatively simple thing to set up,
and can even save you bucks on my local travel expenses.
•Plus, it humanizes the learning experience:
As one of my clients exclaimed in astonishment,
"Jim, it's like you are here, right in my living room!"

With Jim Richardson as the Teacher & Course Developer with Organized Comedy, I gained a huge amount of insight into multiple theatrical-based tools that I have used to engage an audience. Jim is not only a teacher; but, also a student of the best practices being utilized by the best performers past and present.

It is with a great deal of admiration and appreciation that I wholeheartedly endorse Jim Richardson's Teaching Skills for Stand Up Comedy & Professional Speaking. I first became a student of Jim in the Summer of 1987 when Jim conducted an all encompassing class for aspiring comedians and comedy writers. In the ensuing years, Jim broadened his teachings to include Professional Speakers in addition to the comedy focused students.
In addition, Jim has been at the forefront of using technology to help business professionals be more successful. A lot of business professionals, particularly those in their 40's and over, did not go to school with a laptop or even a desktop at their immediate reach. Through his thoughtful explanations of the benefits of using various software, a non-techie like me has gained a wealth of computer knowledge.
One of Jim's most salient attributes is that he has a very strong attention to detail. For example, in one of Jim's stand up comedy classes Jim taught me that the economy of words in the punch line in any joke is important; but, most important is the punch word in the punch line and the importance of where the punch word is located. This seemingly minor point has been a major enhancement for creating more, stronger and better laughs for me.
Without reservation, I give Jim the highest endorsement for his teaching skills with people from the arts community and people from the business community.

I have known Jim for over 40 years and worked with him on and off over that time. He is an exceptional, encouraging, thoughtful teacher, who has the ability to bring out the best to those he is teaching. His compassion while delivering criticism as amazingly effective and tenacity endless. You will feel lucky if you get the opportunity to learn from his wealth of information.
