Teaching Method
Our training strategy is based on 3 pillars:
1. Learning about oneself and about the course content
Participants start their training by completing their self-assessment and identifying their learning goals. A one-hour meeting with a professional coach helps determine a specific tangible development goal to be worked towards during the training. At the end of the training, a second individual coaching session will serve to recognize progress and consider the next steps to ensure the best possible transfer of knowledge.
2. Learning together
Training sessions are interactive, allowing for:
  • High participation and engagement
  • Sharing and learning from the experience of other participants
  • Use of practical examples that are easily transferable to the work environment.
3. Learning through action
At the end of each module, participants make a commitment to themselves, their team and their manager to apply their learning through a job-related mission. This action contributes to the optimal transfer of learning.
