Our Philosophy and Methodology of Training and Development

1. Experiential Learning Approach 

We apply the following process in facilitating your workshop: Orientation & Objectives – These give the real world context and the desired outcomes or results to learners. 

Experience – We learn by doing, by reading and by listening. We use a variety of activities (e.g., discussion, dialogue, simulations, case studies, role plays, games, diagnostic tools) to provide a high impact experience for all learning styles. 

Reflection – We must make sense of our experiences, if we are to learn from them. 

Generalization – We must relate what we learn back to our real world. 

Application – We must have the opportunity to experiment with what we learn and get feedback on our performance and results so we can adjust to obtain our “desired outcomes”. 

2. Personal Accountability 

All of our trainings go well. But some of them are truly transformational experiences for the people involved. We’ve spent a good deal of time over the years thinking about what creates a WOW program versus a “good” program. The difference is that participants in a WOW program decide to get passionate about learning. They feel personally accountable for their own learning and for their contribution to others development. They choose to create the type of workshop that gives everyone a fair chance to gain the insights, strategies, skills and outcomes they desire.  

3. Confidentiality 

You and your colleagues will have the opportunity to share personal aspirations and challenges at many points during the workshop. We believe that people are able to be more honest when they trust that their colleagues have their best interests at heart and their confidence in all things said.

4. Challenging your Concepts 

 We believe that if you are always comfortable, you probably aren’t learning anything new. As Einstein said, “If you do what you have always done, expect to get what you have always gotten.” Notice when you find yourself uncomfortable during the workshop. What does this discomfort tell you about your preferences, assumptions, strengths and weaknesses? How does this help to explain your experiences at work? It isn’t our job to make you feel comfortable in this training. We’d go so far as to say that we’d be happy if you were a bit uncomfortable emotionally and intellectually at times! 

5. Participant Centered 

Our workshops are grounded in your day-to-day reality. From the outset we use a framework, not a script. We meet you where you are and so every program is customized before and during the workshop to meet your particular needs. Our research, facilitation techniques and diagnostic tools help you to create learning experiences and outcomes that target your most important challenges and aspirations
