Training courses

When your employees or managers return from a seminar, what do they tell their colleagues (not you of course)? "Well the food was good, and the people were nice". And about the seminar itself? "Yeah, it was ok, but I don't know if it can really work in practice".

Most trainers don't do training courses, they hold seminars: One person speaks, everyone else sleeps, just like at school. Then the whole thing is combined with a few role-playing games that have little relevance to reality ...Great if you want to throw your hard-earned money down the drain - but we don't expect you do. After our training courses, the participants do not return to their desks lethargic and full of food, instead they are fit and raring to go.

The primary goal of training courses is not to convey knowledge but to change behaviour patterns. For example, professional football training sessions do not involve spending time telling the players more about free-kicks, they concentrate on ensuring that the ball hits the back of the net more often! We only consider a training course to have been successful if the level of productivity, performance, efficiency, the employees' ability to act and their motivation has been significantly and measurably raised at the workplace (not in the seminar room).
