If you've been following me for long or visited my website at all, then you probably know that I'm disabled. Yes, I have problems putting two words together. No, no... I really do have a mobility limitation. As does my business partner. Which makes life as a course facilitator somewhat difficult.
In fact that's why we got into the internet based training business. Rather than fight the trend we realized that embracing technology would help us to continue to do what we both love doing - helping people succeed.
There can be no doubt that improvements in technology can overcome physical limitations not only for people with my problem (or similar) but for everyone. In fact when I was preparing for this article I realized that ideas for overcoming physical limitations which weren't disability based were coming every bit as fast as the ones for people with limitations. Faster if you add in how technology was improving teleseminar limitations.
Here are four examples of how improvements in technology can overcome physical limitations.
1. I am now able to teach without spending hours standing up. The biggest issue which my business partner and I both faced was that doing a live seminar meant spending two to four hours at a stretch without sitting. Teleseminars allow me to present a seminar while sitting, standing or doing a mix of both. You can't see me so I have a much greater freedom than I do in a live environment.
2. I am able to reach people around the world without having to travel. Now don't get me wrong. I love travelling. I enjoy meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. But travelling for business - especially the training business - gets old quick. And the enhanced security in the last ten years has made travel for business even more of a hassle.
3. I am now able to teach at any time of the day or night. When I was teaching for live audiences I would have to eat or sleep or just relax. And when I was doing that I couldn't teach. And even if I was available I could only teach for a limited amount of time. Teleseminars can be recorded and played back at any time. In fact, many courses run twenty four hours per day, seven days per week without ever stopping!
4. The sound quality of teleseminars has increased dramatically. So far I've given examples of how teleseminars have overcome physical limits for the disabled, for travel and for time shifting. But technology has helped teleseminars overcome their own limitations as well. At one time a teleseminar had to be done via a phone line using a telephone headset. Quality was frequently questionable. Now even an inexpensive headset can produce music quality using digitally perfect recording tools. And editing has become something even an amateur can do.
