Skill Transfer: Classroom to Workplace
Receiving Information
We will show your
employee how to learn and retain new information using highly effective reading,
listening, and memory strategies. To ensure immediate results, they will
use their own work materials and current work topics during the training class.
Processing Information
We will show your employees how to develop their critical and creative thinking
skills to accurately analyze information, properly define problems, and generate
realistic solutions - even when under pressure. They will practice our
thinking strategies on issues they currently face in their job.
Communicating Information
We will show your
employees how to efficiently and effectively communicate their message (written
and verbal) using flexible strategies that can be implemented quickly and
easily.
Overall,
we will provide a variety of flexible
�strategy modules� to help each participant
immediately apply their new skills
when they return to their job.

Classroom
training usually occurs in a controlled and
safe learning environment. However, most work environments are rushed and
even chaotic - with tangible consequences for poor performance.
Therefore, even if your employees sincerely want to apply their new skills once
they return to work, they often feel the pressure
to complete their assignments as quickly as possible. As a result, they
often
delay applying their new skills and
resort to their old, proven (and "comfortable")
skills.
Our �strategy modules� are short, realistic techniques that can
be quickly integrated into an individual�s personal way of thinking (i.e. his or
her comfort zone). If employees feel comfortable with a particular
strategy they will apply it immediately and often.
The successful application of these strategies
will also significantly raise the confidence level of each employee - and confident
employees learn faster, take the initiative, and embrace change.

Goal-Oriented
Approach
Receiving Information
We will show your
employees how to read and listen with specific objectives in mind to ensure they
remain focused on the key information.
Processing Information
We will show your employees how to approach all their tasks with a goal-oriented
mindset. Specifically, they will develop a "big picture" mentality to
ensure their solutions are relevant to your organization's short and long-term
objectives.
Communicating Information
We will show your employees how to communicate
(verbally and in writing) to ensure their listeners and readers quickly
understand the message and act on the message in the required timeframe.
|
|
Goal-oriented employees
excel in all areas due to their strong
focus and desire for self-improvement.
These employees typically create personal goals for
each task, and they seek the most efficient path to reach their goals.
Our
training classes
will show your employees how to become mentally and physically goal-oriented
when completing all their work-related tasks. But since every employee is
different, we will provide highly flexible strategies and worksheets that will
help your employees multi-task without losing focus on individual and
organizational goals.
All of our programs also include time management and organizational strategies
to help your employees reduce their stress levels and ensure a seamless
transition from one project to the next.

Learning & Thinking Style Focus
Receiving Information
We will show your employees
how to use their personal learning style to decipher complex reading material
and stay focused while listening to others.
Processing Information
We will show
your employees how to organize new information using their personal thinking
style to ensure the information makes sense and is remembered for later use.
Communicating
Information
We will show your employees how to recognize the learning and thinking
preferences of others to ensure their communication is received, understood, and
acted on accordingly.
|
|
When employees use their personal learning and thinking
style to gather and process new information,
they are using their natural aptitude.
When a process feels natural, it is
always easier to implement. As you know,
employees don't avoid the easy tasks;
they avoid starting complex or undesirable
tasks.
However, for some employees attending a training
class may feel like an undesirable task. But when our past participants used
their preferred learning and thinking
style to apply our strategies, they said the process
felt more like a common sense extension
of what they already knew - which makes
it more likely they will apply our learning and communication strategies long
after the class
ends.

Work-Related Class Activities
Receiving Information
Your employees
will practice the majority of the reading
strategies on their own current (or
future) reading assignments. Our listening strategies will be reinforced
through a variety of group activities that use topics related to your
organization's goals.
Processing Information
Your employees will practice applying our
strategies using class activities that allow them to create possible solutions
to current work issues facing your organization.
Communicating Information
Your employees will practice our written and verbal communication strategies
using work topics that they deal with on a daily basis.
|
|
It is well-known that new information should be applied immediately after it is
learned to ensure excellent comprehension and retention.
Using their own work materials to practice our
strategies will certainly improve your employees' comprehension and retention,
but it will also help your employees instantly recognize the true benefit of the
strategies - an important step to ensure they continue using the strategies long
after the training class ends.
Of course, another benefit of this approach is that your
employees will actually complete parts of their work-related assignments while
attending the training.

Multiple Options for Class Scheduling
Instructor
Availability:
●
Morning (6:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.)
● Afternoon (12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.)
●
Evening (5:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.)
● Early Morning (12:00
a.m. - 6:00 a.m.)
● Saturday (8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.)
|
|
Some employees don't work 9 - 5, and some employees can't afford to spend time
in a classroom during normal business hours while their supervisors, clients,
co-workers, etc. need their help. Therefore, we have created an open scheduling
policy to accommodate your training needs.
There is no additional charge for scheduling during
non-standard hours.

●
Per Person Rate: $195
(minimum 5 participants)

Strategies Workbook
Each workbook contains:
● All the topic
strategies covered in the training
● Step-by-step instructions for applying strategies
● Reference tabs to quickly find specific strategies
● Multiple worksheets for applying the strategies
|
|
This workbook will not only keep your employees focused during the training
class, it will serve as a valuable resource for applying the strategies long
after the class ends.
The availability of the workbook during the class also helps reduce the learning
anxiety some participants feel
when starting a training class. After all, adults who performed poorly in
school may still feel insecure about their learning abilities - and if an
employee believes (right or wrong) their employer is evaluating how well
they retain the training information,
their learning anxiety will intensify - which will minimize their learning
efficiency.

Extended
Instruction
Program
(following the on-site training class)
● 6 months of
access to their classroom instructor
● Participants can ask follow-up questions
Overall, participants can receive customized advice
based on their personal learning/thinking
style and their specific work situation.
|
|
This is another stress reducer for the learner.
Usually employees must conceive and ask their questions during the actual
training class to take advantage of the instructor's knowledge. This can place a
lot of pressure on the employees, which can cloud their thinking process.
How many times have you thought of questions
after a class ended?
The Extended Instruction Program will not only
help employees remain focused during the training class, it will allow them to
ask for help applying the training strategies
on new or difficult work situations they encounter months after the class ends.
