UNCONVENTIONAL TRAINERS

We like to call ourselves that – unconventional. Don’t expect easy people. You will be dealing with experienced and very demanding trainers and coaches who do not please the people in front of them, even if they are clients.

Trainers who invite thinking, deepening, achieving results for which it takes commitment. Real experts, not assumed ones.
Trainers available to support our clients even after the classroom, through dedicated socials, to help them apply the teachings in their everyday work.

There will be no shortage of feedback.

EMOTIONAL INVOLVEMENT

Participation in our courses remains etched in memory because of the strong emotional involvement. Emotions facilitate learning.
We start from experiences, from which we deduce lessons. Our experiences are never trivial and are the result of more than two decades of creative activity in the field of adult education.
The active involvement of all participants is always the most qualified part of our training. Our classrooms have few participants; everyone has to rehearse and is constantly involved.

CONCRETE

Concreteness means focus; we concentrate on a few things, the most important, so as to make the most of the time.
Concreteness means ensuring people’s learning goals. If this is not the case, we are ready to refund the participation fee or provide a new course free of charge to complete the learning.
Concreteness means providing people with a “toolbox”: the essential tools to put the skills learned into practice immediately in their job role.
