Immediate Skill Application
Reading
You
will practice most of the reading strategies
on your own current (or future) reading
projects.
Writing
You will actually
proofread, edit and format your own current (or future) writing projects.
Thinking
You will define and create multiple solutions to your own current (or future)
work or personal challenges.
In addition,
we provide a variety of flexible “strategy
modules” to help you immediately apply
elements of your new skill once you
return to your job.
|
|
Studies have shown that 90%
of classroom training fails to transfer
back to the workplace (or is never used by the seminar participant).
WHY?
Classroom
training occurs in a controlled and
safe learning environment. When
you return to your place of work (after
the seminar) - you may sincerely want
to apply your new skills - but your
work environment is often rushed and
chaotic. Feeling the pressure
to complete your assignments, you may
delay applying your new skills and resort
to your old (and "comfortable") skills.
Our “strategy modules”
are short, realistic techniques that
can be quickly integrated into your
preferred method of operation (i.e.
comfort zone). The immediate (and
successful) application of these strategies
will then provide you the extra time
(and energy) to apply the additional
strategies learned in the classroom.

Goal-Oriented
Learning Approach
Reading
We will show you how to create specific
reading goals to ensure you quickly
collect the pertinent information you
need.
Writing
We will show you
how to develop and communicate
your message to ensure your readers
take notice…and take action.
Thinking
We will show you
how to determine priorities when reading,
writing, and problem solving - and how
to manage those priorities effectively.
|
|
Goal-oriented learners
excel in all areas due to their strong
focus and desire for self-improvement.
Because they create learning goals for
each task, they naturally seek the most
efficient path toward reaching their
overall goal (and completing each individual
task).
But our seminars do more
than just show you how to set a goal
and stay on course. Our learning
strategies are extremely flexible and
allow for multi-tasking. You often must
focus on several goals each day, so
we teach strategies that will show you
how to organize your projects to ensure
a seamless transition from one project
to the next.

Learning & Thinking Style
Focus
Reading
We will show you
how to use your preferred learning &
thinking style to efficiently organize
reading assignments & decipher complex
information - even if outside your field
of expertise.
Writing
We will show
you how to create documents that appeal
directly to your intended readers.
Thinking
We will show you how to use your preferred
learning & thinking style to take advantage
of your personal cognitive strengths
while minimizing any learning deficiencies.
In addition, if you are a manager, we
will show you how to recognize and utilize
the learning and thinking strengths
of your team members.
|
|
When you
use your preferred learning and thinking
style to gather and process new information,
you are using your natural aptitude.
When a process feels natural, it is
always easier to implement. After all,
you don't avoid the easy tasks; but
you may avoid starting complex or undesirable
tasks.
You,
however, may consider attending a seminar
to be an undesirable task. But
when our past participants used their
preferred learning and thinking style
to apply our strategies, the process
felt more like a common sense extension
of what they already know - which makes
it more likely you will apply our
learning strategies long after the seminar
ends.

It can be
difficult to remain focused during a
full-day seminar, particularly if you
putting off work or family duties to attend the seminar - not to mention the challenge of retaining
everything you see and hear.
Our
4-hour seminar provides a "get the
information and apply
it" format. In just 4 hours
you will leave with a strong understanding
of your personal learning and thinking
style, and all the strategies necessary
to apply and develop your new skills at work or at home.
If you would prefer to leave our seminar with your new
skills firmly in place, the longer
formats will ensure you have complete
command of the strategies by
the end of the seminar.

Free Enrollment
Program

This is
not a gimmick. You will not
be asked to buy anything or sign up
for any memberships.

Why do we
offer free enrollments?
It’s a matter of economics - if you provide us the names of
individuals interested in your preferred seminar, it is far more cost effective
(for us) than marketing our public seminars through
direct mail and newspaper advertisements. Typically, people ask their
friends, relatives, or colleagues if they are interested in the same seminar
then present their names. We do not create mailing lists - interested
individuals will only be contacted for the seminar they expressed an interest
in.

Absolutely No Book Sales
Most public
seminar providers attempt to generate
additional revenue through the sale
of books and resource materials (during
the seminar).
Naturally,
we believe in lifelong learning, but
during the seminar we prefer to focus
solely on our students, the seminar
topics and materials.
|
|
You will
spend the entire seminar learning the
skills you want. We will not ask
you to purchase additional
materials.
We have designed our
programs and
participant workbook to ensure you
leave our seminars with all the information
and strategies necessary to excel at
your new skill.

TL Strategies
Workbook
A Spiral
Binder Containing:
●
All the learning strategies covered
in the seminar
● Step-by-step
instructions to implement strategies
● Color-coded
reference to quickly find strategies
● Templates to immediately apply the strategies
|
|
This workbook
will not only keep you focused during
the seminar, it will serve as a valuable
resource for applying the strategies
long after the seminar ends.
The availability of the workbook at the beginning of the
seminar also helps reduce any learning
anxiety you may feel when starting
a seminar. Some people are simply not very comfortable in a learning
environment - due to poor teachers in the past or overly complex lessons.
Knowing you will have your own workbook with all the strategies listed (during
and after the seminar) you will be able to enjoy the class activities and
interactions with the other participants.

TL Advisor
Program
(following
the seminar)
You will have unlimited online access
to your instructor for six months following
the seminar.
|
|
This is another
stress reducer for the learner.
Normally, you must conceive and ask
your questions during the actual seminar
to take advantage of the instructor's
knowledge. This can place a lot of pressure
on you - which can cloud the thinking
process. How many times have you thought
of questions after a seminar
ended?
The TL
Advisor Program will not only allow
you to remain focused during the seminar,
it will allow you to ask how to apply
our various strategies for new (or unexpected)
learning situations - months after the
seminar is completed.
