Transformational Learning
Transformational Learning
Our work with teams, groups, and individuals is intended to facilitate transformation – to make new functionalities and paths possible.
To get a first look into ways we work with our clients, you can visit our course catalog. It represents s a resource for faculty, staff, graduate students, and academic leaders interested in transforming the culture, functionality, and success of the academic endeavor. Our work is rooted in the unique and challenging realities of academic departments, disciplines, and institutions and the nuances of shared governance and faculty careers.
We offer both asynchronous courses that you can complete on your own timing, and blended courses that feature our experts interacting with you to maximize the application of the knowledge to your specific circumstances. The sampling below includes topics that are highly relevant and helpful to many of our clients.
“I would never think I would be able to approach a conflict in a way that could improve the situation. I thought I did not have the personality but I now understand ways to proactively approach conflict.”
“[These courses helped me] learn things that I didn’t ever know existed.”
“It is very important to foster collaborative innovation and enhance professional skills. [These courses] directly support advancing research and networking within the academic and professional communities.”
“This understanding helps promote fairer, more constructive discussions in collaborative settings.”
“These skills will be useful not only for me to better serve on [in peer review discussions] but also to my daily work.”
“[I gained] reassurance that conflict is not necessarily negative – that it can be an important part of group dynamics and problem solving.”
“I love how the content is linked so directly to practical applications!”
