This is what Dan posted on his Facebook page about the webinar series:
Good evening our Disney friends. First, we are thinking about you and the difficult news that many of you have received. Lee and I spoke tonight and brainstormed how we can assist with the dramatic changes that many of you are going through right now.We will be offering multiple, free webinars in the coming days/weeks to help answer your questions, give advice, and share our experience of life after Disney. The truth is that you all have worked for a world class company, and have much more value than you know. We would be happy to “pay it forward” and share what we have learned making that transition.We will let you know the dates in the coming days. Please let us know the questions you may have on making a transition from Disney to the “outside world” on Facebook, or at Dan@cockerellconsulting.com.This is a tough time, and we would be honored to help the many talented and passionate Cast Members that have created magic and happiness for so many.Hang tough, and know that the future is bright!Lee & Dan

If you do not mind paying for a class, Dan is hosting a webinar on October 24th with special guest Lee Kitchen, former Disney Innovation Catalyst. You can see all the event details here.
With so many Cast Members being left without work recently it is great that these classes are being offered as a resource.
