Outshine the rest

Two skills will set you apart, if you’re a leader with a drive toward change-making. I teach them both, so you can outshine the rest:

  • Ability to see the big picture (that’s strategic thinking)
  • Skill in guiding creative thinking in your organization (that’s innovation)

“I love training leaders, because it’s a chance to pay it forward with knowledge and hard-won lessons that they can use right away.”

Fun, in a hard-working package

Bottom line:

We all learn faster and retain more when we’re relaxed and having fun. In all of these training sessions, you can expect a vigorous mix of formats, exercises, and case studies to help you learn performance-enhancing material and practical skills you can use immediately.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

“Andrea was a true partner in our strategic thinking program. She worked collaboratively to build an experiential based program that not only introduced new skills but allowed our emerging leaders to solve real issues. Many of the tools introduced have been incorporated into the company’s operations!”

“Andrea’s style is conversational, and I liked that she gave great resources and support materials to refer back to. I will use what I learned during her Strategic Planning course for economic development professionals to develop better structure and intention around what we’re doing.”

“As a facilitator of learning, Andrea can listen to diverse comments, acknowledge each participant, and reorient the conversation to the learning at hand.  Her grace and diplomacy are readily evident.  It is her strong logical and critical thinking that pushes all groups through the murkiness of misunderstanding to common learning.  She combines the best of an artist’s approach in aesthetics and willingness to step into the new, with the clarity and focus of an engineer.“

“Andrea is a master trainer: she was well-prepared with excellent materials, included stories and examples, designed an agenda that allowed for interaction, and made opportunities for participants to apply the thinking to their own situations.  The “Build Your Strategy Muscle” topic resonated with our Leadership Tomorrow alumni, with enrollment nearly twice what we typically see, and the evaluations reflected high satisfaction with the ideas, concepts and practical experiences. We would definitely welcome Andrea back.”
