Training
Our experienced attorney instructors and human resource experts incorporate state-of-the-art technology and engaging presentation styles to create a memorable learning environment. We take the time to learn your work history and culture so we can design a customized workshop that resonates with your team. We use real-world examples and cases from your industry to make a lasting impression.
Our audience response technology invites learners to respond to questions and discussions anonymously in real time. By showing the audience responses on a large screen, we encourage discussion and targeted learning opportunities. We also use humor appropriately, and participants often are surprised by how much fun they are having. Workshops are likely to include music, references to contemporary news items, movies, world events, legal cases, and most importantly, frank discussions about workplace behavior.

moreTitle IX Assistance
Our team is honored to assist higher education institutions with their efforts to create safe, respectful environments for students and staff. We rely on decades of experience to assist colleges and universities with investigations, facilitation/mediation, hearing officers, policy review and drafting, and other Title IX compliance efforts.
moreExecutive Training and Coaching
We provide effective, individualized coaching and counseling in a one-on-one setting for executive and management-level employees who need to improve their self-awareness, interpersonal skills, communication style, and/or professional behavior in the workplace. These private sessions are led by an approachable coach and are undertaken as educational, not punitive. We use a multitude of current approaches from relevant sources to spell out the risks of the current behavior as well as the bottom-line benefits of changing. Participants explore old behaviors, scripts, and habits and are then motivated to learn and incorporate new approaches. We offer practical tools, opportunities to “practice,” and a way to measure progress.
At the conclusion of the training, each client receives a letter documenting the topics covered, the trainee’s level of responsiveness, and when appropriate, the trainee’s commitment to improved behavior in the future.
Sessions can be conducted in a one-time setting or completed over a period of weeks or months with homework and reading exercises assigned between sessions.
