Our Unique Approach to Training

We use the latest, most effective approaches to training by using cutting edge behavioural technology We create the best conditions in each session, maximizing your learning and behavioural integration. Here are just some of our unique approaches to training:

Powerful, simple, but not simplistic
You don’t have time to take complicated models, analyze, memorize, and experiment with them, you want immediate, accurate, application based on sound knowledge and understanding. We take powerful ideas and make them simple and easy to remember. We take ideas and distil them down to the critical elements for you, so that you benefit from cutting edge information coupled with immediate application.

Everything should be as simple as possible,
and no more simple.
—Albert Einstein

We don’t just show you what to change, we show you how to turn those stubborn, unproductive habits into ideal ones

Everyone has a list of things that you know are ideal behaviours that would bring you tremendous results, we find ourselves making excuses like “I don’t have time to do them”. Simply put, sometimes common sense isn’t common behaviour. Sometimes we learn new ideas, and even with our best intentions, never actually put them into practice.

We have the solution for you! We teach simple yet powerful practices that quickly and smoothly change your habits into ideal ones. You walk away with the best information possible, and turn new, ideal behaviours into second nature, without the stress and strain usually associated with forming effective habits!

We recommend shorter, weekly training sessions
Studies have clearly shown that training programs have maximum impact when the sessions are shorter and spaced over a longer period of time. When you consider any sports team, they practice in short sessions paced over a whole season. If they didn’t, the coaches would have to give them all they need to learn in a few full, overwhelming days, where they would learn lost of useful ideas, but there were too many to keep them all fresh in mind and practice diligently. This reduces the actual skill development and the ideas become more “nice theory”. You take business training for skill development, and not just theory. You’ve probably attended trainings where you learned a lot of good quality information, but because there was so much all at once, you never used it to it’s full capacity.

The old question applies here: how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! As silly as this metaphor seems, it is exactly how people learn best: paced, a manageable amount at a time without being overwhelmed. At first glance, this training format may seem impractical and more time consuming, but when you consider that this format requires no “catch up on work” period after a few days out of your office, nor a rushed preparation to be away for extended periods, it is an extremely practical way learn. This also allows you to leave the training and get right back into your work environment to use your new skills immediately (research proves that immediate application improves retention by 400 - 500% over delayed application).

If you find, after everything we’ve said, that you still want your program delivered in full day sessions, rest assured that we’ll provide you with the same unparalleled quality program at no extra charge.

It is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.
—Mark Twain

Delivered at the site of your choice
Studies prove that information is most effectively remembered and used in the environment that it is learned. This is why we recommend that, where possible, our programs be conducted in or near the environment that you will be most often apply it.

In addition, this means that there is little time wasted travelling, and you can immediately (literally) begin using the new ideas. This eliminates the crucial dilution time that usually occurs between learning and real world application of material, and automatically associates the material to your regular environment instead of a hotel or resort. It’s highly cost effective, too!

We also realize, however, that this is not always practical or possible for you, so we’re happy to deliver the programs at the location most convenient for you.

Materials & manuals
Our programs all include a comprehensive review manual that is yours to keep. Written in a user-friendly, easy to use format, it captures the spirit and content of the program for your reference and review once your program is completed.

Ongoing support after your program is completed
When you train with us, we make a long-term commitment to you that ensures your complete satisfaction. Your trainer is available to you during or after your program is completed, to help you use your material in the most effective manner.

We create a relaxed fun and productive learning environment
It has been proven again and again that learning occurs most effectively when participants are relaxed and enjoying their program. We provide a fun, productive learning environment that naturally invokes participation rather than forcing it, allowing you to absorb the material to the best of your ability.

In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
- Eric Hoffer

Coaching vs. teaching or training
Each participant has his or her own unique challenges, issues and concerns. With this in mind, we design our programs to have the maximum impact by having a coaching orientation in the learning environment, maximizing your access to the trainer’s feedback and expertise. This is why we recommend (but again, not mandatory) that your program be delivered in groups of no more than 15 participants.

Wise living consists perhaps less in acquiring good habits than in acquiring as few habits as possible.
- Eric Hoffer

Tailored to fit your specific needs
You have your own specific ways of doing and seeing things. That’s why we design and deliver your program in the way that best suits you, based on your particular style. We conduct a pre-training assessment to ensure that the information is suitable for your people, your industry and the context you operate in
