Learning is not a linear process.  Sharing knowledge and creating webs of knowledge is not a linear process. Training isn’t about offering information for the sole question of “What?”  We have to touch the heart to touch the mind and take the time to answer the question of “Why?" Learning is emotional.  People tend to comprehend new concepts when they are emotionally engaged in the matter.   We must entice people to seek out new knowledge in a comfortable and non-threatening environment.  Making it fun is always nice too! I really enjoy bringing humor into my workshops!  


Some companies don’t schedule training programs for their employees because they don’t think it works. Some training doesn’t work; however, other variables must be considered when training has failed.  First, the company needs to look inward to identify if they inspire a culture of learning and if they are offering training and development topics that are not just mandatory - - but, are appealing to employees.  Then, look outward at the training.  Ensure that the people who are training your employees are knowledgeable, experienced, well-spoken, value confidentiality, and are passionate about the topics they are sharing.    

        

Corporate Compass Training does not promise to change your organization and employees.  Some change management experts contend that it takes 10 years for true deep change.  Rather, Corporate Compass Training is an educational resource for your company and partners with you to inspire openness, inclusiveness, and emotion management. 


I don’t want employees to dread training and look at it like it’s a chore.  My training approach is engaging….and high energy!   I am an award winning speaker with significant knowledge and experience in leadership, public speaking, diversity management, and emotional intelligence...and I am committed to building strong webs of knowledge with organizations who are dedicated to developing their teams.
