- We provide experiential learning (learning by doing)
We bring a different meaning to the word training – our Training isn’t listening, our training is experiencing.
We believe that knowing means being able to do..... The old days of stand-up presentations called trainings are gone. We believe that people learn best from experience. We believe that people learn much more by practicing skills than talking about them. We believe in high-involvement activities – role plays, simulations, games, interactive exercises and working with the participants real-life issues.
- Our Training results are “skills in the muscle”
Training results are what people use, change or remember six months after the training session. That is what we call real results. Traditional training works for people who are extremely motivated to employ the skills they learn in their lives. For corporate training this is not often the case – people are often not so motivated as that. Often, all that remains after six months is a small portion of what was taught in the training room and virtually nothing of value for subsequent practical application to the real work environment.
Nordic’s training concept is that skills as well as knowledge have to be learned in the training room. Since learning a skill may require 20 repetitions, we spend up to 80% of total class time on training and practicing. We let people exercise the skill, make mistakes, get feedback (from self-reflection and from others), do it again, improve again and continue to do it until the skill is truly learned or “in the muscle,” and not just an idea in the mind.
- Our content is “the difference that makes the difference”
Nordic’s course content is based on deep research and modelling of successful people in each area that we cover – successful salespeople, negotiators, presenters, managers, communicators etc. We base our content on “the differences that makes the difference” – those and only those behaviors, skills, strategies, beliefs and principles that guarantee necessary results in the fastest ways possible.
- Our training is designed both for the work and for the people
We are all human. We believe that the highest training impact occurs when you train not only skills but also touch each participant’s personality. In Nordic’s training people often achieve breakthroughs that produce powerful results in their work lives, as well as in their personal lives.
- Customization and flexibility
We are extremely flexible and able to customize our highly modular training programs to fit client-companies’ specific needs through the process of cooperation and collaboration between the trainer and company representatives. And we create entirely new customer-specific programs that address company-specific problems and industry specifics.
- Training needs analysis
Before the start of internal training we conduct, a “current situation analysis” together with employees of the company, paying attention to strengths and weaknesses of a specific sector. Any or all training participants may also, if they desire it, be given a "current skills assessment". Then all the involved parties identify their own specific training goals. Only then does the training preparation process begin, with the trainer having acquired a knowledge of the company and its
specific needs and goals.
