A Common Language
and a Conceptual Framework
Everyday language, a structured approach, and the
linking of key concepts in simple patterns facilitate
discussion and shorten learning time.

Personalized
Learning
The learning tools are highly evocative. They serve
as "cognitive Rorshach tests" which allow
participants to learn from their own experiences rather
than using abstract models, simulations, or case studies.

A Record of
Written Responses
Participants write down their responses before
discussing them. They gain a sense of ownership and
clarity about their own responses and are protected
from being unduly influenced by the reactions of
others. This also gives them a permanent record of
their own individual learning.

Small
Group Discussions
After writing down their responses, participants break
into pairs or trios for discussion. This enables them
to explore their own feelings, gain feedback from others,
and develop commitment to following practical action
plans. |

Our
Programs Are Thoroughly Researched, Evaluated and Tested
After analyzing the needs of industries and organizations,
our professional staff of instructional designers and
master trainers reviews the existing literature, develops
programs, tests them in pilot groups, and revises them
until we know they work well. |

Our
Programs Are Designed For Both Participants and Trainers
Over thirty five years of experience in trainer training,
consulting with managers, and conducting training programs
have given us great understanding and respect for the
real-world requirements for effective training. We create
programs that can be easily transferred to in-house
trainers when that becomes the most practical method
for facilitating learning in a wider audience or for
follow-up sessions. |
