IMAGEINATION LLC

Imagenisis.net (the company is IMAGEINATION LLC) is the power or process of forming a mental image of something not present. For example: a collection of loose photos and papers can result in the expected portfolio or, with personal attention it can be a vivid description of who you truly are. Apply that same power (we say energy) or process (we say IMAGENISIS) to your new company logo, your new resume, or those boxes of photos you plan to exhibit at the family reunion. The recipes require the same main ingredient - a study of you, of your experience, your physiology, your favorite music, even your birthdate! Add to that healthy measures of artistic talent and technical expertise (if we don't have it on staff we'll find it!) and the outcome will be unique - it will reflect you! Coach led support favors teamwork to increase your digital literacy.

Offerings at imagenisis.net by IMAGEINATION LLC  are grouped under three main headings to help with reviewing options:

  • LEARN- offering approaches to project development that include varying degrees of customer involvement with access by links to relevant resources
  • SHARE - offering opportunity for discussions presented in webconferences presented on calendars accessed by subscriptions for participation by customers
  • VISIT- to links presented for customers to access for information, instruction, introduction to services or devices meant to assist wiith project development

Project development at IMAGEINATION/IMAGENISIS is meant to guide the mental picture of you that others will form when you cannot be physically present. "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."

Instruction is designed to increase your skill and comfort with the personal computer - desktop or laptop. Instruction is presented in groups or one-to-one in settings that include: computer labs, online via webconferenc, and with written tools designed for use from the desktoop or laptop computer.
