Engaging content and facilitation Had an amazing training with Karen this week on succession training. She is exteremely knowledgable and built in some levity and humor that helped to break up the content. She was also very mindful of breaks needed to reflect and reatin the information. She provided a ton of exmaples which allowed the content really come to life. She went the extra mile to use words and phrases that are a major part of pur company which not only made us feel understood but also cared for. I highly recommend Karen for succession training. After leaving this session I feel that I have a very solid understanding of how to apply the content in a meaningful way.

The facilitator knew her stuff The facilitator knew her stuff. I am a person who needs time to take in concepts so it was a bit hard for me to follow sometimes. I wish there was more time or maybe a cheat sheet of terms we should become familiar with before starting the class. Some persons did not have any issues grasping the concepts so it was more a personal issue. The breakout sessions were a good format. I enjoyed those.

It was very helpful to go through the… It was very helpful to go through the process step by step. The instructor captured all of the things we wanted to learn and made sure we discussed every item. It helped to have break out sessions to discuss real issues and processes from our current positions to determine how we could apply what we were learning.

The facilitator was brilliant The facilitator was brilliant. Very knowledgeable, patient and kept excellent time. The content was so rich, however, that it probably needed more time than the allotted two days to do it justice. And some of that time might be spent working through some of the concepts in workshop mode. But make no mistake, I'd certainly recommend this program!

Strategic Workforce Planning Review Just completed the Strategic Workforce Planning Certification Class. I felt the class was good overall, and provided a lot of great information. However, I felt the material would have been better spread out over another day or so. I think it was a little rushed, and there was some sections that were more detailed and required more attention than others. I also think we could have used more samples to work with, vs. always using our own organization's information. I think it would have provided a better foundation for our learning and provided clear examples, vs. us having to try and figure a lot of things out, when this is our first time going through the material.
