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 seminar.
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 usually create personal goals for
each task, and they seek the most efficient path to reach their goals
But our seminars do more than just show your employees how to set
goals and stay on course. Our learning strategies are extremely flexible
and allow for multi-tasking without losing focus on individual and
organizational goals.
All of our seminars also include time management and organizational strategies
to help your employees to reduce 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
acting 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 seminar
may feel like an undesirable task.
But when our past seminar 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 know - which makes
it more likely they will apply our
learning strategies long after the seminar
ends.

Work-Related Seminar 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
real-world issues - we actually encourage your organization to provide your own
issues for us to build the activities around.
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
seminar ends.
Of course, another benefit
of this approach is that your employees
will actually complete many of their
work-related assignments while attending
the seminar.

It can be
difficult to remain focused during a
full-day seminar, particularly if you
are constantly thinking about all the
work that is piling up on your desk;
not to mention the challenge of retaining
everything you see and hear.
Our
4-hour seminar provides a "get the
information, go back to work and apply
it" format. In just 4 hours
your employees will leave with a strong
understanding of their personal learning
and thinking style, and all the strategies
necessary to develop their new skills
on the job.
If you would
prefer to have your employees return
to work with their new skills firmly
in place, the longer formats will
ensure they have complete command of
the seminar strategies by the end of
the seminar.

Multiple Options for Seminar 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.)

Not everyone works 9 - 5, and not everyone can afford to spend time in a
classroom while their clients, co-workers, etc. need their assistance during
normal business hours. Therefore, we have created an open scheduling
policy to accommodate your training needs.
There is no additional charge for scheduling during
non-standard hours.

All-Inclusive
Seminar
Rates
●
Flat Rates - Up to 30 participants per
session
●
Direct Billing with no hidden costs
● No additional cost to have the seminar
customized
|
|
All-inclusive
flat rates certainly minimize paperwork
on your end. But they also produce
significant savings when you have more
than 10 employees attend one of our seminars.
For example, a 6-hour seminar (at the $2,700 flat rate) with 10 participants is
$270 per person, but
30 attendees would reduce your cost to less than $90 per person.

TL Participant Workbook
A Spiral Workbook Containing:
●
All the learning strategies covered
in the seminar
● Step-by-step instructions for implementing strategies
● Color-coded
reference to quickly find the strategies
● Multiple templates for applying the strategies
|
|
This workbook will not only keep your employees 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 some participants may feel
when starting a work-related seminar.
After all, adults who performed poorly
in school may still feel insecure about
their learning abilities - and if an
employee believes (right or wrong) that
their employer is evaluating how well
they retain the seminar information,
their learning anxiety will intensify
(which will minimize their learning
capability).

TL Advisor
Program
(following
the seminar)
●
6 months of online access to the seminar instructor
● Participants
receive unlimited follow-up help
|
|
This is another
stress reducer for the learner.
Usually a seminar participant must conceive
and ask his or her questions during
the actual seminar to take advantage
of the instructor's knowledge. This
can place a lot of pressure on the participants
- which can cloud their thinking process.
How many times have you thought of questions
after a seminar ended?
The TL
Advisor Program will not only help them remain focused during the seminar,
it will allow participants to ask how to apply the seminar strategies
on new or difficult work situations
- months after the seminar is completed.
