What’s it about? I like Linkage Training programs. I am not shooting for originality today, so I will just paste in what they write about themselves. I will only add that in my experience it is a very accurate description:
“Every Linkage training program includes a set of proven and practical tools to increase your confidence level in specific skill-sets. You’ll learn from Linkage’s team of top-notch consultants on the latest techniques and approaches. And, to drive home the learning, all the programs offer a highly interactive forum with role playing, simulations, case studies, and action planning based on real-life business challenges.”
I know that a lot of you readers are in the coaching biz, either formally or informally, so I thought I would acquaint you with some of their coaching workshops.
