What We Do
We design training courses with adult learners in mind. We know that adults have a choice when it comes to learning new things so we create inclusive, supportive training spaces to help participants feel more open to learning. We always sprinkle some fun throughout our sessions and keep them as interactive and “hands on” as possible.
We work with you to design meetings and we incorporate tactile and visual methodologies to unlock a higher level of innovation and creativity. As facilitators we assist you in reaching your goals through increased participation, more effective group conversations and by applying various techniques to help to reach consensus.
We facilitate the development of standard operating procedures and unique brand standards for hospitality. We also conduct customer service audits and provide reports to identify training needs. We provide advice and facilitation of work permit applications (Barbados only) to ensure that all legal requirements are satisfied.
