WE 'MAKE IT STICK'

The real challenge of any training is to ensure it's full integration by participants. Research has shown that most training initiatives are only 12% effective in the long term, while when combined with coaching the 'stickability' of training can dramatically rise to 84%!

Most training falls short of it's goal because participants lack the 'right' motivation and focus to act effectively in implementing their new skills. We incorporate coaching into all our workshops to provide maximum ROI on training efforts by ensuring that participants have not only improved their skills using the latest in accelerated learning techniques that motivate and inspire; but also have a workable action plan to reach new levels of success in their career.

 

Our Training Facilitates Organizational Transformation

Envision the work experience at a performance enhanced organization. It is comprised of inspired, fulfilled and engaged people - learners performing at their peak. People contributing to a vision they believe in, in an organization that supports and nurtures each member's individual needs, strengths and abilities. Now contrast that with your current reality. What is the gap and why does it exist?

There is a perceived conflict between what workers need to be happy and what organizations need to stay competitive in today's business environment. Individuals need support in understanding and taking action on their own values and leveraging their real skills and talents. Organizations need to maximize the effectiveness of each member of their team in support of the company's clearly articulated vision and goals.

Third Wave coaches employees to reframe challenges, improve their communication skills, and define their own values and vision as a framework for peak performance. We work with organizations to improve team effectiveness, design and implement work/life balance initiatives and shift culture. Third Wave helps close the gap in perception and provides tools and resources for sustainable growth and success.
