Delivered with a front-lines perspective your audience can relate to, and a keen understanding of the big picture, it will inspire and equip attendees to return to their work more effective and creative than ever. 

Lessons Learned In The Trenches
Prepare for a crash course in excellence! This informative, humorous and memorable address presents the building blocks of an effective career development program… even if you serve people with extreme barriers. From assessment to advancement, attendees will get hopeful, innovative, practical ideas that make them more creative, thorough and successful with each person they serve. Program leadership will also get ideas on how to better achieve the long-term programmatic goals they're striving for!


Bridging the Gap to the Business Culture
The number one reason our candidates are not hired, not promoted and get fired, is because they do not understand and follow the rules of the business culture. Many do not even know the rules, and wrongly assume they are similar to the rules of their social culture. For our candidates to become self-sufficient, they must learn the business culture. Elisabeth will share stories and techniques for building a bridge between the two worlds so your candidates can succeed in the business world.
