Lecturer to Legend is where you fix that. You build the skillset and the workflow that carries your in-person presence into async video. You don't "attend" L2L. You DO it.

Not by attending. Most faculty development ends with proof you showed up. Ours doesn't exist until you've made something. Seven dimensions, each scored against a published rubric, every one at professional standard. Fall short anywhere and it comes back with specific notes. Resubmit as many times as you need, at no additional charge. ![1000001821](https://www.rowanelder.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1000001821.png?width=2000&height=1500&name=1000001821.png "1000001821") ## Meet the instructor Dr. William McCumber has been coaching and teaching for over 30 years. He is a full professor of finance with research interests primarily in complex financial networks. He teaches online and in person at the PhD, graduate, and undergraduate levels. He takes MBA students around the world on global consulting projects and coaches undergraduate students in the Student Managed Investment Fund.  If he had his druthers, he would be teaching Chaucer instead of agency theory and market dynamics, but he is exquisitely unqualified to do so.  ## Not "Tips & Tricks" or Pedagogy PDFs ### Presence & Software Mastery Master recording and editing workflows that build authentic on-screen presence. Students best engage with digital content that is resoundingly human. Students deserve human guidance, and you deserve the support to share your expertise in a professional, compelling manner. ### Prep Once, Reuse Forever Create reusable lectures - and a replicable workflow - that spans terms and sections. The second workflow run costs a fraction of the first.  ### Actual Output + Certification Produce studio-quality lectures as tangible assets: link them on your CV, LinkedIn, or market packets as proof of teaching excellence. Earned by producing a studio-quality lecture evaluated against a published rubric - 7 dimensions, all at a professional standard - not by attending. Independently verifiable and yours across institutions.
