Bill Attardi, a 60-year electrical and lighting industry veteran, has launched a new website called LearnersLive.com.
Bill started his career in 1965 as a sales representative at Westinghouse / Phillips in New York City. 23 years later, in 1988, he left the company as Senior Vice President of Marketing & Sales. He then spent several years at USI Lighting and Wellmade before starting his own company, Attardi Marketing, in 1994.
He has also served as an adjunct professor at Monmouth University for 25 years teaching graduate and undergraduate strategic marketing and management courses.
Attardi is very passionate about our industry, leading him to launch this new website as an avenue to share his lighting knowledge.
In describing the launch of LearnersLive.com, Attardi says it will be a learning experience where lighting professionals will have the opportunity to learn something every day, through virtual courses that will include marketing and management sessions developed through the courses he teaches at Monmouth University; interviews with lighting experts including Jim Benya, Deb Burnett, Mark Rea, Chris Brown and Bernie Erickson; and other lighting industry training websites and videos.
“Learning Showcase on LearnersLive.com is committed to the learning process,” he says in a LearnersLive.com post. “An activity that goes on and on and on, as it should. Every month, my passion as an educator is to contribute to that process with what I have learned over my lifetime.” Effective Presentation Skills is currently posted at LearnersLive.com in three 30-minute virtual sessions, and in February Attardi will post his “Selling in the Executive Suite” video. He says the video will teach the special skills required to sell a major project to the executives that run a customer’s business.
“I have a passion for teaching and learning and have been doing it most of my life and for the past 20-plus years at Monmouth University,” Attardi says. “I want to continue doing it as long as God allows.”
