The details
About Professional Development Workshops & Corporate Training
Many start with an assessment such as DiSC, MBTI or Strength Finders, so each person leaves knowing their own style and how to work with the rest of the team. Others pair a skills session with a hands-on team activity, which suits a sales meeting or an offsite.
We build each workshop around your professional development goals and objectives, with exercises drawn from the situations your people handle every week. Tell us the skills you want to build and a planner will recommend the corporate workshops that fit.

What our clients say
In their own words, from the planners and teams who booked these programs.
Our Total Recall team-building program was very organized. The communication needed to complete the activity was a great team builder, but the competition was definitely the most fun. Your lead facilitator was excellent and as far as our group enjoying the program as a whole, we give it a 10 out of 10!
AmandaStudio EagleThe program was awesome! The facilitator did a very effective job of engaging our employees, challenging their listening and cognitive skills, working together skills, and leadership skills. Our technicians and supervisors were eager to try each new challenge. We got lots of great feedback and appreciation from those that attended (no negative feedback at all).
AnnWyeth PharmaceuticalsOur group loved their Igniting Team Performance Event. All the participants were engaged. The best teambuilding aspect of the program was the card sorting challenge and the most fun was the zoom activity. The program was very well organized. Your lead facilitator was energetic and engaging and provided tasks to our group that could be easily linked to our job responsibilities.
LeslieJohnson & JohnsonHow did I feel our group as a whole enjoyed the activity? They LOVED it! And they enjoyed the gaming part. Our Virtual Competition to Collaboration program was very organized, and Roy and Ryan were awesome, we had quite a few compliments on the program!
SusanBASFOur group as a whole enjoyed the training quite a bit. It was very organized and the most fun was during the breakouts and the interactivity of the session in general. We are looking forward to diving deeper into the content, that will come with subsequent sessions with our trainer, Steve. We rated Steve a 5 out of 5 for his presentation!
CraigSDI Meetings & IncentivesI have to give a presentation to our vice president on Wednesday and after having participated in your Virtual Presentation Tune-Up program, I feel so much more confident going into the presentation. Thanks so much for everything today!
RebeccaPepsiCoOur group enjoyed this event! It provided a good overview and refresher of the basics. We most enjoyed the whiteboarding portion of the session, which the team found fun. Everyone bonded well while reflecting on different styles for dealing with change.
AdamCeleros Flows TechnologyWe enjoyed getting to know each other through this activity. Spending time together was the most fun, and getting to know each other in a structured event not directly attached to work. Paul was great at keeping us all engaged, got to know and used all our names, and empowered each team member to participate.
MelanieFeonix – Mobility RisingYour Presentation Skills program was a wonderful addition to this year’s retreat. The facilitator did a fantastic job engaging the team, and wrapping up everything they learned into coherent and useful follow up tips and check lists. Many of our people continue to draw from your lessons, which shows just how effective they are. We were glad to have you participate in our retreat, and look forward to working with you again!
SherylNortheastern University, Honors ProgramWould like to talk about using Christa for Part II of the DiSC Workshop for my team. She was amasing, outstanding, we loved her and had such a great meeting and outcomes.
Christa was amazing. This is our second time using her for DiSC. She did an outstanding job leading our team event. Her ability to create an engaging, inclusive, and well-paced experience truly stood out. Second-best facilitated events we’ve had (the first was hers) – highly impactful and memorable.

To choose the right professional development workshop for your team, start by identifying your team’s goals and skill gaps—what outcomes are you aiming for? Evaluate your team’s skills gap and align the workshop’s learning outcomes with your organizational objectives. Then, evaluate workshop providers based on their expertise and reputation, customization options, delivery format (in-person, online, or hybrid), and interactive elements that promote engagement. Whichever workshop you choose, make sure the content includes actionable strategies and supports diverse learning styles. Look for workshops that provide long-term value, not just a one-time experience.

The core benefits of professional development for teams are skill and knowledge enhancement – teams become more capable and efficient. Workshops support gains in productivity and performance, teamwork and collaboration, communication and problem-solving, and employee morale and retention.
