Professional Development Classes
“I succeeded in my project much faster than I anticipated because this work helped me focus, make decisions, and ACT!” – Business Class Attendee
Foster Sustained Professional Development
Across the US and indeed around the world, an epidemic loss of confidence has eroded all of our most important institutions: families, schools, churches, businesses, non-profit agencies, and governments.
At the foundation of so much disappointment lies a growing sense of personal vulnerability and despair. The result is a sharply reduced ability to deal with life’s realities and an intense need to rebuild foundations.
Our Institute has responded to this need with products and classes to instill new competence through mastery of five fundamental skills; elevating confidence through action-based learning and evidence gathering; and enabling intelligent, purposeful risk to foster sustained growth.
Do you have the courage it takes, at every level of your organization, to grow? Innovation, creativity and competitive advantage are hallmarks of organizational courage. When you are ready to boost yours, Susan A. Marshall, the ultimate business coach, can show you how with the follow two professional development options below.
Professional Development Classes for Business
We’ve taken our popular Confidence Classes that we’ve offered for years to individual participants and redesigned for small corporate groups of 8-20. Our 6-week training class challenges participants to engage at a deeper level and apply new learning immediately and consistently. It’s motivational, inspiring, educational and actionable!
At our Institute, we believe that true leadership development training takes time in order to:
- Prepare yourself mentally and emotionally
- Work through difficult challenges
- Make new behaviors stick
Why 6 weeks of training? While day-long corporate retreats or lecture-style events are a great way to kick-start the program, our 6-week action-learning format ensures that each participant truly embarks on a personal and professional transformation.
Speaking Engagements
Whether you have 200 employees, 2,000 or 20,000, we offer a scalable program that can help instill confidence and effective leadership across your organization, on-site or to locations worldwide.
