Keep
It Simple
Many
training companies list 100s of course titles, each covering
dozens of topics.
This
makes for very effective marketing because we think we're
getting more for our money. Unfortunately what most of
us really need is more focus on retaining and applying key
fundamentals. In other words we need help staying focused
and working through any initial rough spots for long enough
to make new habits stick. Once it really sticks we start
applying things in our daily lives.
When
you learn 10 new things in a day you very often end up not
really learning much of anything. That's why 2 weeks after
a great seminar everyone's back to their old behavior. We
don't like that.
Business
Sense - People Skills - Focused Direction
That's
what we teach. One at a time.

Small
Group Coaching
The
best athletes, entertainers and business people all use coaches
to be and stay the best.
There
is simply no substitute for the regular support and encouragement
of a safe coaching setting. We all need a little support over
time to adopt new habits and get rid of old ones. That's what
our coaching environment provides.
Because
grasping a new idea is just the tip of the iceburg.
The
real challenge is getting new ideas to stick.
Thats
why we recommend training / coaching combinations whenever
possible...
Because
it works.

Cycle
Training
Used
by elite athletes and the US military, highly focused cycle
training is the way to become the best.
Here's
how it works.
Say
you want to learn how to throw, hit and run.
Conventional
wisdom says go out every day and throw, hit and run, but a
more effective method goes something like this:
- throw
on monday
- throw
on tuesday
- throw
on wednesday
- hit
and run thursday
- throw
on friday
 When
the daily improvements plateau then trade throw for run or
hit and repeat the cycle. When you put your total focus on
one thing at a time the results are astounding. (That's why
focused direction is one of our key training focus areas)
When
you come back to throwing focus 3 weeks later you start from
a higher plateau and take improvements to an even higher level.
We
didn't invent it, but we do take advantage of it.
It's basic human psychology and a best practice in human performance
improvement. |
Short
Burst, Multi-Mode Training
All
day seminars are fantastic for networking and team building,
but not for retained and applied learning.
For lasting change nothing beats a series of much shorter
training bursts followed by personal reinforcement over time.
The magic formula is a training/coaching combination for learning
retention and lasting results.
Not
only do different people learn best in different ways, but
everybody also learns better when taught in multiple ways.

- A
few little surprises to keep you engaged
We
mix up our training into bite-size modules to make it easy
to consume. Then repeat common themes in different ways to
help them stick.
Our
basic survival instincts put more trust and belief in recurring,
repetitive messages - it's just part of how the human brain
works.
Not
long ago it was expensive to train like this because trainer
and student had to physically go to so many classes and events.
The only real option was a dedicated personal trainer and
coach.
The
Internet has changed all that making a 30 minute session take
only 30 minutes instead of half the day getting to and from
the meeting.
Never before has this type of training been so accessible
and affordable.
