Our Live Workshop Topics

All proven winners!

The modern work environment requires collaboration, and everyone benefits when problems can be solved by leveraging the strengths and talents of all. These lively, hands-on workshops focus on key strategies for powering effective collaboration on individual teams and across your entire organization.
Our Leadership workshops meet your employees where they are and offer hands-on practice with key skills of a leader such as building strong teams, giving feedback, providing coaching, making decisions that stick, and delegating.
If there's one constant in today's work environment, it's change. The business environment shifts, roles evolve, teams grow (and sometimes shrink), business strategy pivots. Our Change Management series of practical, hands-on workshops empowers your employees to navigate, manage, and initiate change with skill and confidence.
Communication is key. Getting along well with colleagues, putting ideas across, solving problems -- they all require effective listening, knowing your audience, and recognizing your own style and preferences. Our Communication workshops offer skills-building practices that address these topics and more to uplevel communication in your organization.
We believe anyone can manage projects with skill and confidence. Our Project Leader workshop series has something for everyone, whether they're facing their first project or just need a few tips to up their game.

Recent Clients

I had the opportunity to work with Debbie on rolling out an Introduction to Project Management workshop at Box. Debbie's experience and tenacity made this initiative a huge success. Her deep background in all things program management allowed us to tailor an interactive, dynamic workshop for a young, growing workforce who needed to develop these key skills to help us scale and thrive as a business. We achieved extraordinary 95%+ ratings on the course while training hundreds of Boxers and expanded it to even be conducted in our international offices. Debbie was an amazing partner throughout, never taking things too seriously and bringing levity & energy in the classroom to thoroughly engage all the attendees. I would be thrilled to work with Debbie again in the future.
