Why the workshop is not delivered in 2 consecutive days?
We call them Effective Workshops because for longer than a day workshops, we separate the delivery in 2 non-consecutive days. This allows time to implement and practice what was learned in the first session, and bring implementation questions to the second one before getting the second part of the content.
Is a 2 day session enough to make my annual plan?
No, the workshop presents a planning calendar that will serve as your guide to prepare your annual plan during a couple of months with your team, good planning is not an overnight endeavor. You will have a structured methodology to do your planning.
How can I work during the workshop with my confidential information?
The group will not have another participant from the same industry or market, you will not have competitors in the same workshop and as part of the registration attendees will be asked to sign a Non-Disclosure agreement to ensure any shared data will only be used in the workshop.
Does this work if I am a solopreneur or do I need a team in my company?
While it helps to have a management team to work on your company plan, it is not necessary. The tools and methodology that we present can be applied to any size and type of business.
Why can only one of my partners or associates participate?
For better learning results we are have a maximum of 16 participants, to ensure a variety of perspectives we have to limit it to 2 participants per company.
Is the content enough to do the planning in my company on my own?
Yes, you will have the tools, formats and guidelines that will help you implement a planning process in your company to full completion.
Are other dates available for the workshop?
Based on demand we offer a delivery of the workshop every other month.
Can the workshop be delivered only for my company?
Yes if you want the workshop exclusively delivered for your team the investment is $3,999.00 for the 2-day workshop, you are responsible for the venue and meals.
Does this work for a Non-Profit organization?
Yes, though the sales plan is reviewed as part of the content, the main emphasis is on key initiatives in all areas of the organization to improve the organization to a better one next year.
Can I send a top manager instead of me?
Yes, but we will have to screen him/her to ensure he or she is the right fit for the group. Some of the learning will come from other owners, presidents and directors sharing their challenges, perspectives and experiences. Also bear in mind that he or she will have to follow up “like the owner” to execute this at your company to be successful.
Are there any discounts or promotions?
You get a 5% discount for each participant you help us register for the workshop.
If I decide to buy the consultant packages after the training, does it have the same price?
Yes, but you will be paying full price for the workshop. The consultant packages offer your training at 50% or 100% discount if purchased in advance.
Is the consultant available for further consultation?
We offer 2 packages with 20 hours of consulting to help you develop your Annual Plan. One of them is with exclusive participation of your company and the other one is sharing the cost with another company in the same sessions.
Are the consulting sessions limited in participants?
Yes, consulting sessions are not training; they are sessions to discuss your strategies, markets, opportunities, initiatives, etc. We recommend your involve your top management team or partners and associates only. A good number is no more than 8 team members per company.
Is this Executive Coaching or Business Coaching?
Neither. Coaching is a discipline where a Coach works with an executive or business to improve through a methodology without giving specific business advice. Although both the workshop and the consultant take advantage of some coaching techniques to work with participants, it is not coaching. This falls under the training and business consultant services category.
I have a Business Coach. Can he/she offer the same?
Today some confusion has been generated through some business consultants calling themselves Coaches. If you are working with a business consultant that has experience in planning and general management, it is very probable that he or she could help you with your planning. If you have a certified Coach (not a consultant), he or she won’t give you specific tools, methods, and advice on your business planning, but he or she is a great complement to help you define and execute what you will do with these tools.
