In these engaging two-hour workshops, participants assess their current skills, identify gaps, and design a personalized development plan that leverages their past experiences, personal interests, and future goals. Each workshop focuses on a single core skill, creating a meaningful and hands-on learning experience that encourages rich feedback and ongoing mentorship. In these interactive two-hour workshops, we identify participants’ skills gaps and help them develop a tailored plan that considers their past experiences, personal interests, and desired goals. 

Interpersonal Skill Mastery Workshop

Master Workshop: Two-Day Experience
In this comprehensive two-day Master Workshop, participants work to identify their interpersonal skill gaps and create a personalized self-development plan. Through collaboration with an accountability partner, they engage in realistic and challenging scenarios that test and strengthen their abilities. The workshop emphasizes strategies to maintain progress and avoid setbacks. By the end of the second day, participants leave energized and equipped to apply their new skills confidently, even in the face of demanding situations.

It is not about how long the training is; it is about how much you can retain.

• Within one hour, people forget up to 50% of what they learned.
• Within 24 hours, around 70% is forgotten.
• After a week, as much as 90% may be gone if there’s no review or reinforcement.

Some of the reasons are: 

• Content dumping
• No personal interest
• Not a memorable experience
• No alignment between personal and the company’s goals
• The caliber of the presenter

Retention drops dramatically over time in a traditional setting. However, spaced repetition slows the decline, helping you remember much more
