 Investing in professional development ensures the creation of a
learning culture in the workplace, increasing individual and team competence, confidence
and morale, thus resulting in more effective service /product delivery.
Trainings offered by professionals who are not employees of the
business have distinct advantages.
- Expertise in different fields
- Experience engaging and training multiple groups
- Objectivity
- Creative approaches
There are similarities between the seminar format and training/workshop formats.
Both forums present information and are designed to engage the audience.
Seminars offer a more traditional, lecture style and can be a onetime event to review a particular topic area. Trainings are skill based; in addition to information that is presented the participants are asked to try new skills. Trainings are more ‘hands on’ and are most effective when offered in a series or in extended sessions.
Both seminars and trainings can be tailored to the needs of a particular business; however, seminars tend to be more general in scope. Trainings incorporate an understanding of the business, its culture and employees.
Seminars can be effective in addressing small and large audiences. Trainings require small groups (20 or less) to allow for greater interaction and for participants to practice new skills.
All trainings are customized. General topics are listed on the seminar page .
