WORDS BY GLOBAL ROAMING REAL ESTATE TRAINER, TARA CHRISTIANSON

American real-estate trainer Tara Christianson runs her successful training business –

with clients in multiple time zones, in the US, Australia and New Zealand – from her

kitchen bench in Brisbane. This is how she does it.

It’s almost 5am in Brisbane when I

GoToWebinar

, but for the

real estate agents who I’m training,

in northern Virginia and Washington

DC, it’s 3pm and this is our weekly

training session on new technologies

and social media.

Welcome to the newworld of training.

Training used to mean a classroom

setting, with a PowerPoint presentation

and hand-outs or, if you were lucky,

a live, hands-on session. With the

introduction of new technology tools,

however, trainers can reach beyond the

local and gain a more global audience.

That ability works two ways. Now, you

can learn pretty much anything you

want, on any subject, from experts

around the world.

For me, being free from the tethers

of geography is essential for my roles

as a consultant across three different

countries (the US, New Zealand and

Australia), and as Technology and

Training Director of Redwood Realty

in northern Virginia/Washington

DC/Maryland.

With 10 offices and close to 500

agents, I have to use technology as a

method of communicating with and

training my agents. I need to be able

to understand and address their most

timely issues.

I need to create and distribute

pertinent materials to them. And

I need to be able to transmit that

information to people across the

world, regardless of our location.
