Occasionally, our fees include the facilitator’s travel. Please contact us about your location. When travel is not included, we can:
FOR MORE THAN 36 PARTICIPANTS, PLEASE CALL US.
Our half-day programs run three hours (e.g., 9 am – 12 pm) and our full-day courses seven (e.g., 9 am – 4 pm). We will work with your scheduling requirements to determine the exact timing for your program.
Only in the rarest of circumstances will we accommodate this request. Experience has taught us that longer days do not equal more effective training sessions.
Over the years, we have learned what size group works best for each of the courses we offer. If you have a large group, please call us so we can learn more about your needs.
No. We charge you the full-day rate for the total number of people in attendance.
A microwaved cake doesn’t taste the same as one that has spent time in a traditional oven. Along those same lines, forcing a two-day course into a half-day time slot reduces the likelihood that the program will work as designed.
That said, please contact us to discuss your objectives and timeline. We may be able to modify a course to accommodate you.
Depending on the program, we will either ship handouts or send you a short PDF to you to duplicate for your group.
To run interactive sessions, we prefer seating configurations that allow for team interaction and problem solving.
We also ask that you provide us with chart paper, easels, and markers. Your facilitator will work with you to confirm the specifics of your session.
We are happy to recommend a resource if asked, but we never sell products during classroom time.
A big part of this business is fit. We strongly encourage you to speak with your facilitator before your session.
We specialize in onsite training for groups and do not offer public courses.
You are welcome to form your own group comprising members from different organizations. However, we do not make this request of our clients.
Your facilitator will work with you to determine your course agenda.
Please contact us about custom course crafting.
We can accommodate this type of request for an additional fee.
We design the bulk of our courses from the ground up. Occasionally, we will use external resources to supplement our offerings.
We do not sell our content to other training providers.
On a case-by-case basis, we offer a train-the-trainer model. For example, a hospital wants to improve its customer service and hires us to develop a solution. As part of that process, we deliver the initial sessions and then turn the delivery over to the organization’s internal trainers.
As with any professional service firm, we do not run specials or discount our services. For less expensive options, consider our online training courses or virtual-classroom programs.
We can’t comment on why others charge less or charge more. We can tell you our facilitators are highly experienced and command fees beyond those paid to beginners.
Yes. If you schedule and pay for multiple courses in advance, we offer a 5% discount.
We are a registered vendor with the System for Award Management (SAM), but we no longer maintain GSA schedule. We offer our government clients competitive rates and are happy to reply to your RFQ, RFP, or market research inquiry.
Usually. Our goal is to maintain relationships with our clients. Please contact us.
Travel expenses have increased significantly over the last three years, and we did not pass on the costs. That’s no longer possible given the realities of inflation, fuel costs, and so forth.
No. The fees shown on the pricing chart are for course delivery. They do not cover content ownership. Without prior permission, it is not okay to hire us for the purpose of copying our work. Please ask about our train-the-trainer models.

Virtual session segments run between 90 minutes and 2 hours. While most courses are single-segment offerings, a few of our programs comprise multiple segments.
For optimal results, each participant needs a computer with a high-speed internet connection and speakers. Ideally, those computers will also have a microphone and webcam. For groups located in the same office, we find the experience works best when people are in the same room, have individual laptops, and are on camera together.
As with our onsite training programs, we do not ask our clients to open their sessions to people from other organizations.
We will provide you with 30-day access to a recording of your program. Please note, due to the interactive nature of our sessions, a recording is not interchangeable with live training.
For learners seeking a self-paced solution, we offer several training programs online. They range in price from $50 to $250. To determine the cost of a particular course, please refer to the course’s page on our website.

Executive retreats, strategic-planning meetings, and gatherings to address workplace change often require a skilled facilitator to craft a framework and guide discussions. We provide this service at a rate of $5,000 per day.
If you are looking for a keynote speaker for your next event, we can pair you with someone who will engage, entertain, and educate your group. Keynote presentations range from 45 minutes to an hour. We provide keynote speakers at a rate of $7,500 per event.
Sometimes clients have needs not addressed by training, coaching, facilitation, or keynote speaking. For those clients, we offer a broad range of consulting services. Fees for consulting depend entirely on the complexity of the project and are handled on a case-by-case basis.
Throughout our history, we’ve worked with most parts of the Federal Government as well as state and local governments. Over the years, we’ve delivered workshops from our standard onsite catalog, and we’ve developed some programs specific to government audiences: engaging government employees, customer service in the public sector, writing for the government, plain language, and tips for following the GPO style guide.
