      Unfortunately, these skills aren’t taught in most business schools since they are “soft skills.” And other majors don’t cover them at all. And so most of us toil away never perfecting the skills giving you business relationships that work.

                          Orientation


                          Taking on orientation program is optional, but highly recommended. We run three orientations:

                          1. Orient Yourself to Moodle. Never taken on online class? We got you covered.

                          2. Enhance Expertise. For the full classes, we focus on improving reading comprehension, focusing attention, and how to reduce the forgetting curve.

                          3. Upgrade Skills. Few know how to practice. Fewer still know the mental practices that accelerate skill development.

                          Learning



                          Engage in one or more of our four, six, twelve or sixteen- week courses. 

                          Proof of learning does not involve grades (unless needed for employer reimbursement). As evidence of successful completion you receive a certificate (for expertise) and badges (for coaching). 

                          Develop artifacts elated to the work you do in a course. This can be shared on sites like Linkedin as part of your profile.  

                          Finally, reflect on experience to develop lessons learned.
