Live sessions

Two live sessions, run periodically

Unlike the self-paced courses, these two run as scheduled live sessions with room for questions. Recordings are made available afterward for anyone enrolled who couldn't attend live.

The budget that doesn't quit by week three

Most household budgets fail for the same handful of reasons: categories that don't match real spending, no room for irregular expenses, and an all-or-nothing mindset after the first slip-up. This workshop rebuilds the process from scratch, with a focus on what actually holds up past the second paycheck.

  • Session 1

    Why most budgets die in the first two weeks

    A look at the common structural mistakes, before we fix any of them.

  • Session 2

    Categories built around actual behavior

    Setting spending categories based on what you really do, not an idealized version of it.

  • Session 3

    A buffer system for irregular expenses

    Handling the costs that don't show up every month but always show up eventually.

  • Session 4

    Reviewing and adjusting without restarting

    How to correct course mid-month instead of abandoning the whole plan.

Reading between the lines of financial marketing

Financial product advertising tends to rely on a limited set of persuasion techniques, used across credit cards, loans, insurance, and investment apps alike. This single-session masterclass breaks down how those techniques work, so you can read an offer on your own terms.

  • Part 1

    Framing and anchoring

    How the way a number is presented changes how it feels, even when the number itself doesn't change.

  • Part 2

    Disclosure versus disclaimer

    The difference between information you're meant to notice and information that's technically there.

  • Part 3

    Common rhetorical patterns

    Recurring phrasing and structure that shows up across financial marketing, once you know what to look for.

  • Part 4

    A personal review checklist

    A short list of questions to run through before responding to any financial offer.

vSphere reporting with RVTools, live

A live, hands-on webinar for IT professionals who manage a VMware environment and want a cleaner picture of it. We walk through exporting a full vSphere inventory with RVTools, the utility from Robware now maintained by Dell, and reading vCenter data to find what needs attention.

  • Part 1

    Connecting RVTools to vCenter

    How the tool reads a live vSphere environment safely, and what each exported tab actually represents.

  • Part 2

    Finding the problems

    Spotting orphaned VMs, old snapshots, and misconfigured resources inside the vCenter inventory RVTools returns.

  • Part 3

    Capacity and housekeeping

    Turning the vSphere report into a prioritized cleanup and capacity plan for the VMware estate.

  • Part 4

    Reporting to a team

    Presenting RVTools findings so non-specialists understand what the vCenter data means and why it matters.

Scheduling

How sessions are scheduled
