What’s Keeping You Up at Night?

We Are Learning at the Wrong Time.

Timing is everything. We will help you transition from a ”fire hose” one-time training event offered on the L&D department’s schedule to a “spaced retention” approach [Cecil Alec Mace, 1932] and improve learning outcomes.

We Are Learning the Wrong Things.

Relevance, one of the seven learning essentials, is powerful because the learner is quickly engaged, knowing that the offered content supports their performance needs. Conversely, irrelevant content causes learners to quickly “tune out.”

We Quickly Forget What We Learn.

Hermann Ebbinghaus’ Forgetting Curve states that we will forget 75% of what we learn within six days unless the new knowledge is immediately applied. Serving small, bite-sized chunks of data allows it to be digested and applied before moving on to the next learning objective.

Optimize Your
Course Catalog’s
Cost-Benefit

Course catalog investments may become stagnant because the catalog contains irrelevant point-and-click resources. Now you can incorporate them into a blended learning approach for little or no additional cost meaning a significant boost to your cost-benefit.

Learning and Development Expert

My twenty years of instructor-led training and designing and developing curricula have taught me which learning strategies are meaningful and which cause learners to zone out.
You may be surprised to learn that retooling a learning plan could require simply restructuring existing resources instead of developing new ones. A thoughtful integration of your current resources can help you performance goals and improve learner satisfaction.
Identifying the top 20% of mission-critical skills used 80% of the time [Tim Ferriss, 2007] will be more effective for improving skill sets, increasing productivity, shortening onboarding time, and improving customer satisfaction – without draining your budget.

Why Choose Us?

Solid Teaching & Learning Experience

Retooling the Workforce differs from other firms because of our commitment to seven proven learning principles based on andragogy, authentic adult learning. These principles guide our client partnerships to deliver outstanding and cost-effective results that have a lasting business impact.

Level Up to Andragogy

Adult learning, or andragogy, is different from child-based learning or pedagogy. In short, teaching children is a one-to-many process. Adult learning is a many-to-one process. Training events typically use a pedagogical approach. Are you ready to positively move your organization’s teaching and learning strategy to a mature level? We are!

Your Satisfaction

We offer world-class consulting services, from a single-session consultation to a comprehensive service plan, which includes an in-depth appreciation of how your learning ecosystem’s elements are intended to move your organization’s mission forward. We remain engaged throughout the project to ensure your overall satisfaction.

"Helping business level up their learning and achieve performance goals"

Starting Your Bussiness

A business may discover that it can save money by contracting with a learning expert rather than another full-time employee. Startups benefit because they need learning and development services once or once in three to six months and can cut down on costs related to hiring a permanent placement.

Growing Your Business

Knowing as you grow can mean conducting a quality audit. It is a participative process to guide further development with impartial
perspectives and potential solutions by analyzing budding issues and their underlying data and providing stakeholders with resource allocation recommendations.

Sustaining Your Business

We offer world-class consulting services, from a single-session consultation to a comprehensive learning project plan, which includes an in-depth appreciation of how your learning ecosystem’s elements are intended to move your organization’s mission forward.
