Training and education are the processes by which participants acquire new skills, knowledge or values as members of a learning community. These processes address one of two challenges: either it teaches participants to do their current job well, like new employee orientations and regulatory trainings, or it prepares learners for new opportunities such as workshops on supervision and language acquisition courses. The difference is in how much foreknowledge is assumed.

With training it is assumed the participant has knowledge in another area and the training is to orient that information, apply those skills, or instill key values in accordance with the organizational environment. With an educational program the assumption is the learner is gaining completely new information, skill set or values with less emphasis on practice or immediate application.

Social and Communication Skills
Proficiency in social and communication skills equals higher productivity for an organization. This proficiency, or interpersonal competence, is the ability to interact well with others in a wide range of situations. The better the individuals are at successfully forging professional relationships, both inside and outside the organization, the greater the success of that organization. Our clients benefit by having people capable of compelling communication and exceptional cooperation.

Our clients gain employees at all levels in the organization, competent in giving and receiving messages in a purposeful, productive manner. Employees are able to build and maintain dynamic, collaborative professional relationships to place their organizations as forerunners in their respective markets.

Supervision
Supervision and management done well is the intersection of interpersonal competence and leadership. An exceptional supervisor has the vision of a leader, the inspiration and enthusiasm of a coach, and the ability to artfully navigate the political waters of the organizational environment.

While the department performs the actions to achieve established goals, the manager must gather data, plan and make key decisions to ensure those goals are congruent not only with the organization's overall mission, but with the development goals of the individuals within the organization as well.

Participants in our workshops integrate goal setting, feedback, meeting facilitation, conflict management and group dynamics to lead their departments toward exemplary rewards. New supervisors acquire the skills to confidently work with their team to fulfill the organizational mission while simultaneously developing the people they supervise.

Leadership
Leadership is the ability to balance the needs of the organization, its employees and its customers. Leadership differs from supervision and management in that leadership can be exhibited at all levels within an organization regardless of title or position. Trailblazing organizations have inspirational leaders throughout the organization who encourage the best in others while modeling it themselves.

While the key components to leadership are static, the methods for approaching them are different. Learners in our leadership programs discover and analyze these different orientations. They are then able to integrate the one, or a combination thereof, that will best suit both their individual style and the organizational environment.
