    Every participant, along with their managers and supervisors, receives a personal call from the trainer to discuss individual needs and training expectations.

  2. Phase 2

    Practical, interactive delivery

    Sessions combine role plays built on relevant scenarios, instructor-led games and activities, group discussions with constructive feedback, and educational videos.

  3. Phase 3

    Six months of post-training support

    Participants stay in close contact with the training consultant for tips and suggestions as they apply what they learned in their daily work.
