The Specialized Training Series

The Specialized Trainings are designed as short-term professional development opportunities with a very specific content focus. These trainings incorporate a didactic-based model of delivery combined with distinct experiential-based components enabling a whole-brain form of learning. This design increases the impact and overall effectiveness of the trainings and enables the participants to more fully engage in discoveries and practices that will last long after the actual training is completed. The format of this series typically 1-2 days in length and the topics offered include:

The didactic-based portion of these trainings use information compiled by our Investigative Research Team of qualified experts and researchers. A broad range of books, periodicals, websites, expert interviews, and various other resources are used as a basis for research in the development of enhanced conceptual and practical topical knowledge. In the delivery of each training, the Socratic method is employed as an inherent method of engaging participants and evoking their own already existing competencies and skills pertinent to the topics being covered. This method of learning also establishes and maintains a context for the experiential-based portions of the trainings, which includes large-group processes, dyads, small group activities, games, and creative challenges. These various procedures in experiential learning blend visual, auditory, kinesthetic, cognitive, and emotional elements, which vastly deepens the overall effect of learning, memory and motivation for practice outside of the training room. Specific techniques for introducing and exploring concepts will vary depending not only on the content focus of the training but also the specific needs and nuances of the participants themselves. Not only is each topic unique, but so too is each group of training participants. As such, relevant personal stories and situations will be addressed and used as examples for furthering the appreciation of concepts, distinctions, and experiences explored during each training.
