Training - Professional Development Overview

Businesses today face challenges which reach far beyond what many professionals are prepared to address. Our higher education systems today are excellent in many courses of study; however, not everyone obtains from their formal education all that is needed to tackle the real world challenges facing them in today's business area.

Our goal is to help fill the gap that exists between formal education, business experience and the current challenges facing businesses today. We offer training programs in several relevant areas, taught by professionals who are currently practitioners of the material they are presenting. This approach to training enhances the classroom experience by incorporating current real world examples, pertinent videos, exercises and presentations which yield practical concepts and techniques to be applied by the students to their current business needs.

Classroom training, small group worksessions, and mentoring programs (hands-on practice and apprenticing on actual business projects to reinforce techniques and accelerate the learning process) are available and customizable to your specific needs. We utilize a variety of surveys and instruments (including the MBTI®, DiSC® Profile, and Johari Window) to enhance the learning experience.

The following topics can be combined in a variety of ways to give you the most relevant training for your organization:

Communication: Provides the foundation for effectively interacting and influencing in the workplace

Team Building: Enables workgroups and teams to be more productive and service-focused

Facilitation: Profiles the effective facilitator, and provides foundational and advanced techniques for managing group dynamics and building deliverables effectively to meet business objectives
