Organizational Consulting

Are your meetings, supervisory experiences, and trainings having their intended impact?

Are they consistently engaging...and recognized as value-add and impactful?

The data suggests we have work to do...

A leading online scheduling platform (Doodle) recently reported that the consequences of poorly organized engagements tallies to more than $500B across the globe, and upwards of $400B in the US alone.

Trend data shows that we're stuck in at least two of these "poorly organized engagements" each week. Study's respondents stated:

68% lose time due to poorly organized engagements.

44% don't have time for the rest of their work because of these engagements.

43% leave without clear action plans and greater confusion.

38% had a loss of focus due to attending.

26% had weakened relationships due to participation

Poorly organized engagements are bad for employees and financial bottom-lines. These experiences zap participants of energy; limit opportunities for deep connections with co-workers, clients, and colleagues; and damage healthy organizational cultures.

Though the problem is rooted in human error, the good news is that - with all human errors - the remedy is present and attainable through the development of skills and capabilities. This is where Leadership Trainer can make a substantial impact in your organization.

The intentional development of training & facilitation skills can dramatically alter the experience of meetings and trainings.

The truth is, "trainers" and "facilitators" are rarely ever trained in this...

Unsurprisingly, research suggests that only 10% of what people are training is actually retained and implemented into practice.

Moreover, there are approximately 1 Million first-time trainers thrust into facilitating training experiences each year with little preparation or practice.

Leadership Trainer is filling this gap.

Leadership Trainer is explicitly and exclusively focused on trainer preparation and dedicated to enhancing the bottom-line, effectiveness, and personnel engagement of every organization with we work with by developing the leadership and facilitation skills of your team members.

Even with plentiful leadership consulting, coaching, and training opportunities, nobody else does this work.

Leadership consulting, coaching, and training opportunities are plentiful. There is no shortage of individuals and outfits that claim they can enhance your performance. We believe most are ultimately ineffective because of two reasons:

Their leadership consultants are generally ill-prepared to serve in that capacity.

They approach this work in a surface-level, band-aid fashion.

In short, these individuals either lack the educational background and theoretical knowledge-base which should inform their leadership work, they lack the practical leadership skills to know what good leadership looks like, or they lack the facilitation techniques to engage participants in dynamic learning experiences. Sadly, they often lack all three.

"The Hartford Region Open Choice Program, managed by the Capital Region Education Council (CREC) has had the privilege of collaborating with Jonathan Kroll [Leadership Trainer Executive Director and lead consultant]...over the past two years. Through his customized approach, Jonathan has designed team-building experiences that strengthened collaboration, deepened understanding of personalities and work styles, and ultimately enhanced our workplace culture.

Most recently, he partnered with us to update the Open Choice Program's Vision and Mission as part of our strategic planning, a milestone that aligns with the 60th anniversary of Connecticut's first city-to-suburban school integration program.... We have already seen improvements in our climate survey results and are grateful to Jonathan for contributing to the positive impact, stronger professional relationships, and more meaningful interactions across our team."
