Experiences that Lead to Lasting Change

Here’s how your people see training: “Leadership cares enough to invest in me!” This is one of the most powerful messages you can send to them and yields tangible rewards:

  • 94% of people would stay with a company longer if it invested in their learning
  • 68% of employees say training and development is their company’s most important policy
  • 74% of employees believe they aren’t living up to their potential due to lack of development opportunities

When employees know you’re offering them insights and skills that will improve their careers, they want to participate!

Workshops to Feed the Mind and Spirit

“Workshop” is intentional. Whether it’s 50 minutes, or several hours or two days—virtual or in-person—we’re in this together. (No one needs to hear me speak for that long—including me!) Plus I use neuroscience to design the amount of information covered, exercises and breaks to make this engaging and useful for your people.

The goal is that they laugh, learn and walk away with at least one good idea they can use right away to make their work lives better—and improve your organization’s results. 

It All Starts with You

Everything I do is custom. That means upfront research to ensure I understand your goals, your people and what they need:

  • Reading background to “get” your company and industry
  • Doing interviews with key leaders for a deeper understanding of the issues and goals
  • Using surveys to hear directly from the participants—not just to tailor the examples, but to get them excited before the workshop
  • Often having employees take personality inventories so I can adjust the style and content to their preferences

It’s true: I have a number of workshops that are my clients’ favorites. These are just examples—because your program will be all about you.

“Lynne’s presentation was enjoyable and kept everyone engaged. We felt the buzz in the office days after. People were still talking and trying to discover more about the people they were working with and communicating better. This shows the workshop left a lasting impression.

“We believe the time spent was a great investment in the lives of our employees. We look forward to working with Lynne in the future.”
