We want to help you minimize your training costs, while making a powerful, lasting impact on your effectiveness. We've worked hard to keep our fees low; most are up to 40 percent less than public seminar rates. Add to this our 10 percent discount to anyone who registers for three or more seminars from this series and you have an exceptional value!
By pairing with an industry leader, Rockhurst University & Continuing Education Center, we're able to feature some of the best trainers in the business from National Seminars Series and Padgett-Thompson. You'll find they lead seminars that are both entertaining and memorable-but more importantly, they are results-oriented. The ultimate benefit of our speakers' approach is that they offer an abundance of information and skill-building techniques that are focused on making a difference in your job and your career. As a result, you'll leave with useful ideas and important "know-how" to make workplace challenges easier to handle. Seminar workbooks reinforce learning as well.
