5 reasons leadership training should be for all employees
Regardless of the myth that "leaders are born and not created," skills can be taught and improved through leadership training. Developi...
Interactive training sessions led by experienced facilitators.
What is In-Person, Instructor-Led Training?
Our in-person training is delivered by a live facilitator who works directly with your team at your location. It’s our most popular format because it allows for real-time interaction, hands-on learning, and direct support.
Every session is tailored to your team’s specific goals, industry, and challenges—no generic, one-size-fits-all programs. Whether it’s a single session or a full training series, we design the experience to be relevant, practical, and fully aligned with your needs.
What is Live Webinar Training?
Live webinars are facilitator-led training sessions delivered online in real time. They’re ideal for teams working in different locations or with busy schedules.
This format offers shorter, more frequent sessions that are easy to coordinate—making it a convenient option for organizations with remote or distributed teams.
What is Virtual Classroom Training?
Virtual Classroom training is live, instructor-led training delivered online. It offers the same interactive experience as in-person sessions, with real-time discussions, group activities, and instructor feedback.
It’s a flexible option for organizations that want to reduce travel, save costs, or better fit training into busy schedules.
What is a Lunch & Learn Session?
Lunch & Learn sessions are short, facilitator-led training sessions delivered in person or online—typically during the lunch hour. They focus on specific topics or skills and offer a quick, engaging way to learn without a full-day commitment.
These sessions can be offered as one-time events or as part of a series, making them a great option for ongoing, bite-sized learning.

AI and Critical Thinking
This course provides a comprehensive overview of artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on its fundamentals, applications, and ethical considerations. Students will learn to describe different types of AI and their common applications in everyday life. Key ethical issues such as fairness, accountability, transparency, and bias will be explored through real-world examples. The course emphasizes critical thinking skills, enabling students to evaluate AI claims and differentiate between hype and reality. Students will gain an understanding of how machine learning works, including commonly used algorithms and current AI technologies across various sectors.
The course also addresses the ethical implications of AI, covering data privacy, security, and the impact on personal freedoms. Students will analyze AI applications in key areas such as healthcare, finance, and law, evaluating both successful and problematic case studies to develop practical AI solutions. By the end of the course, students should be able to critically assess the effectiveness and challenges of various AI implementations, understand ethical considerations and biases, and propose strategies for responsible and ethical AI deployment.
