“Let’s go to the beach and move your feet, let’s party all day, like it’s a holiday… Let’s Naach”.
Wolverhampton born and bred entertainer Sohan Kailey adds, “There’s nothing like this in the market for young children. I wanted to create something fresh, new and exciting. Afterall whenever I am booked to perform at birthday parties and festivals, parents always request Bhangra songs for children but nothing ever suitable. I decided to create an album that children and parents can enjoy listening to and dancing to together. Let’s Naach is a collection of a variety of songs which I carefully selected to put together for this exciting project. From going into the studio with having just one track to work with and the end of it walking away with 7 tracks plus story interludes made it all the more special. You have to listen to the entire album to enjoy the story.

High-Quality Virtual Training Activities, Simple and Fast

With Soapbox, you begin by entering a few simple facts about your presentation (the length, how many people will attend, what platform you will be using to present, and the objectives of your presentation), and with the click of a button, Soapbox will generate your presentation complete with activities, instructions, a facilitator guide, handouts, and a PowerPoint slide deck. Soapbox takes the guesswork out of virtual instruction and creates engaging presentations that will leave your audience singing your praises.

One early adopter commented: “Soapbox is great fun. It would be very easy for those who don’t do instructional design regularly to jump in, get it done, and have a good adult learning experience.”

“Several years ago, we began to brainstorm ways that could automate the instructional design process so that anyone could quickly put together a training session,” recalled Brian Washburn, CEO and co-founder of Endurance Learning. “When we conducted our beta test, some users reported that Soapbox could save them 8 hours or more in putting together a presentation. That’s 8 hours that they could be spending doing other things for their company – making sales calls, coding software, problem-solving, leading their teams – whatever they are actually paid to do by the company. Most people who deliver presentations are actually hired by a company to make money in ways other than training. Putting together engaging training sessions has traditionally gotten in the way of people’s ‘day jobs’.”

After using the software, another beta tester remarked, “This literally builds your facilitator guide. That’s amazing!”
