Who is OLAV and What’s Next?

Developing and Sustaining Education Programs

“ Anticipate a bumpy ride, and expect that significant psychological calming is going to be needed at times.” Bob Whipple, CEO of Leadergrow

Current “Presenter Certification” Program

“Certification” Industry Standards

New regulations are making it too costly and labor intensive for our

modest resources

Materials Materials currently developed for Presenters are only seen by those

attending a presentation

Current Operation Lifesaver Presenters

Presenter Addresses an audience that is mostly passive Possesses all of the content Credibility is derived from Presenter Is accountable for the learning

Difference Between a Presenter and an OLAV

In response to the observation that volunteers are too often seen as amateurs: “Just

remember: Noah’s Ark was built by amateurs. The Titanic was built by professionals.”
