Training Materials

We offer a variety of soft-skill learning instruments, books and other aids through our online store covering diverse topics: Leadership, Management & Supervision; Conflict, Cooperation & Teamwork; Creativity, Innovation & Problem Solving; Mentoring & Coaching; Personality Types & Emotional Intelligence; Presentation Skills; Marketing, Sales & Customer Service; Team Building; and Writing Skills. Our products are ready-to-use with step-by-step instruction guidelines. Not only do we offer pre-tested materials for both the facilitator and participants, we also provide attractive slides, games and activities embedded in the course.

Facilitation & Speaking Engagements

We address vital issues affecting business performance in our keynotes, drawing on our research and consulting in areas ranging from leadership to conflict, and creativity to strategic business growth. We bring our audience to a higher level of understanding and introduce them to powerful concepts and examples, so that they leave inspired to try new ideas and techniques as soon as they get back to their workplace.

Interweaving research results, real-world examples, and relevant humor, our keynotes entertain as they instruct, leaving the audience energized with our vision of all they might accomplish and achieve through the application of our findings in their own lives and workplaces.

Our genuine enthusiasm for our work quickly captures our audience as we lead them on a journey to the frontiers of management thought.

All our facilitators have more than twenty years of professional training experience and relevant advanced degrees. Please click on a link below to review a specific biography:

Custom Course Design

You might be pleasantly surprised at how easily we can tailor a course for your group, since we have so much original training material and research to draw upon. Any topic you find covered in our extensive product list is fair game for our custom course development as well. Let us know what you are thinking about, and we'll tell you if it is something we can add value to.

Course Delivery and Train-the-Trainers

We can provide the instruction or train your trainers. We help you bring students to a higher level of understanding and introduce them to powerful concepts and examples.

Executive Development

We can come in to provide a leadership or other module in your existing development program, or we can help you design a program from scratch (including the processes for identifying participants, and a combination of training, mentoring, coaching or other development processes depending on your needs).

Custom Materials & Books

Many of our assessments, workbooks, and books can be repackaged or "unbundled" for custom uses. If you can imagine it, we can probably make it happen, so please feel free to share your ideas or requests. Thanks!

We also have developed training materials, books and other products for some of our clients, and may be able to act as project managers, "ghost-writers" or developers for you if you have a project you need to sub out.

Licenses

Our courses and assessments can be licensed in order to simplify large-scale use or to incorporate them into your course design.

Please give us a call to see if a license is right for your project!
