EDUCATION + TRAINING

There’s always something to learn and there’s always room go grow. That’s why it’s called Continuous Professional Development (CPD). Our environment and the conditions we’re working within are constantly changing and so it only makes sense that we do what it takes to evolve and adapt, too. One of our primary focuses is around helping others build their capacity and competencies. Our collection of workshops, courses, and training programs is ever-growing and changing to meet the needs of our clients in their ever-changing worlds.

 
 
  • One-Day Workshop: Our Annual Strategic Planning Workshop is held every November and is tailored to meet the unique needs of small business owners. We revisit the fundamentals (like vision, mission, purpose, and values) and then also walk through a methodical goal-setting process, strategy development, planning steps, and evaluation framework to prepare busy business owners with a roadmap for their year ahead.

  • 3-Part Workshop Series: We offer this 1-2 times per year and it is designed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders alike. We explore the fundamentals of continuous quality improvement (CQI) and process improvement with the ultimate goal of challenging the status quo and enjoying the quest of “could it be better/easier/faster?”

  • One Day Workshop: Using our “LET’S GO” sales strategy model, we help businesses and teams look at sales in an entire new way. We bust the old and antiquated, inauthentic and cold-calling strategies for sales and introduce a method that not only feels better for all parties involved, but actually yields better and longer-lasting sales relationships with clients and customers. This workshop is offered 2-3 times per year and is also available on demand for team-specific engagements where we come to you, speak on your team’s/business’s specific needs and provide intensive training and coaching where you need it most.

  • Mini-Workshop Series: We call this our “Creative Circle” workshop series where participants from all industries, roles, and markets are invited to join in for a highly interactive and creative problem solving event. Using fun and engaging exercises, participants are taught easy-to-use techniques to think differently, break molds, innovate more, and tap into their inner creative genius. We believe that creativity is what gives each and everyone of us a unique edge and the Creative Circle is a safe and inviting space to tap into your creative side to bring more joy and imagination to your professional world.

  • Half-Day Workshop: This workshop is offered 1-2 times per year and is also available on demand for leadership teams. Our focus in this workshop is on defining our own leadership styles, principles, and exploring the leadership legacy that we want to leave behind. We also dive deep into leadership best practices around communication, motivation, and emotional intelligence. Leaders will walk away from this workshop with greater personal insight, fine-tuned empathy, and greater confidence and courage to continue leading the way.

  • 3-Part Workshop Series: This program prepares business owners and leaders to anticipate and plan for change in a way that is both logical and compassionate. We introduce a variety of tools for managing change and we dive into the psychology behind change and why it can be so difficult to go through. Whether your business/team is experiencing growth, new challenges, or even implementing new policies, processes or technologies… change management is essential.

  • Half-Day Workshop: This session is all about helping yourself. It’s about getting out of your own way and it’s about breaking through the self-imposed limitations that have been holding you back. You will be guided through a self-discovery process and stewarded through impactful reframing exercises that will help to shift your thinking from a place of scarcity to a place of abundance. This is the secret. This is the way. This is a game-changing session that will get you out of the ruts and onto the runway.

 
 

Theory is one thing… application is altogether another.

We believe that the most effective kind of education and training is the kind that can be applied and expanded upon. Curious minds feel rewarded when they pick up a new skill or bit of knowledge but when they find ways to actually apply their learning - this is when they light up. Relevant, timely, and applicable education and training is what KEA strives to deliver because that’s how we love to learn too.

FEATURED PROGRAMS

  • THE KEA 'INSIDE EDGE' COHORT PROGRAM

    This year-long membership program is designed to help give leaders and business owners an “inside edge” by focusing on 4 essential lenses: Business Strategy, Connection, Creativity, and Action. Each quarter, we dive into a different topics to learn new skills, build new knowledge, and lean into one another for support, ideas, and encouragement.

  • THE ONE PROGRAM

    Built from the “ONE Theory” and the complimentary program to the brand new ONE Book, the ONE Program delves deep into a new way of thinking, being, and achieving our goals. It is a method, a philosophy, and complete game changer for business owners, leaders, and entrepreneurs. Launch date TBD.

Yes, we create custom educational programs for our clients too… but here’s a snap shot of the KEA programs currently being offered on a regular basis:

WORKSHOPS + TRAINING OPTIONS

 

SALES EXCELLENCE

We want to change the impression and impact of “Sales” and we believe that targeting “EXCELLENCE” is the way to get there. Using our very own Sales Strategy that we call the “LETS GO” model, we help individuals and teams build confidence and success with their sales goals for the long term. No more transaction-chasing… it’s all about building meaningful relationships and we’ll show you how.

 

THE CREATIVE CIRCLE

We are firm believers in the importance of infusing creativity into the professional world. It’s not about art or design, talent or even creative interest. It is about thinking creatively, solving complex problems with ease, and feeling innovative and inspired again. This one has to be experienced to fully appreciate! If you’re a curious human - these workshops are for you!
