The Exceptional Difference is Active On-the-Job Learning

Typical training offerings are “passive learning” offerings that are delivered in a short period of time with academic exercises. Often these offerings do no lead to lasting change. Our approach recognizes that the most effective learning happens over a period of time in an environment where new concepts can applied in real- world settings with built-in feedback loops. This an on-the-job experience with expert coaches pushing participants to reach their highest potential of “Engage,” “Apply,” and “Amplify” in the figure below.
