With LIFT, your people build skills that last. Adult learners perform better in an environment where they are empowered to design their own curriculum, share their knowledge, and build a network of resources with each other. That is why I use LIFT (Learner Identified Facilitated Training) in my leadership services and management training.
LIFT is more effective than traditional trainer-based instruction. Creative, imaginative, and problem-solving skills are developed, as well as the ability to think critically and analyze information. Support and encourage your leaders and teams to learn together in this facilitated interactive manner.
You and your people identify the leadership and interpersonal skills they need most on the job. As a facilitator, I introduce one topic and lead an interactive dialogue between the participants as they ask questions and share their specific experiences, ideas, successes, and challenges with each other. They grow together.
In this learning culture, my clients are able to increase skill retention, whether for management training or workforce development. Give your people wings and LIFT their people skills like leadership, communication, collaboration, service, motivation, teamwork, and conflict reduction. They will keep your business performing at its peak.

Leadership Development in the Community
Involvement in service associations in your community is an important way to give back and hone leadership skills. Your people can get management training if you encourage their involvement. It’s worked for me!

…covered a great deal of information in a fun engaging manner! Her topic of ‘Flying in the Face of Conventional Management’ was a hit with our audience. She presented her key points in immediate terms. She made quick sense of seemingly complicated business relationships. Thank you, Chris. You saved the day and more!
