Unique Learning Deliveries

Pinnacle Development Group is constantly looking for new learning deliveries and training opportunities. In some of the Boot Camps Unique Learning Deliveryprevious pages of this site, we have introduced you to several “deliveries” of development, such as:

  • Traditional Training Workshops
  • Strategic/Topic Based Retreats
  • “Boot Camps” for Leaders & Sales
  • Professional Coaching via In-Person or Skype

However, as time pressures and schedules continue to constrict many leaders from spending an abundance amount of time away from executing their roles and responsibilities, PDG has yet created additional and unique learning deliveries.

Additional Deliveries

PDG’S BOOK/CHAPTER-N-REVIEW

This highly sought out learning experience combines several great features. First of all, many organizations recognize that keeping their development process in forward motion, having their leaders collectively read a business book can provide some value. However, in most cases this effort often runs out of steam. IN COMES PDG!

Pinnacle Development Group can work with you to select a great book to read that is full of good learning tips. PDG then provides a monthly “chapter review” that highlights what those reading the chapter should have understood about the chapter’s content, perhaps what the author was wanting their readers to understand.

Additionally, PDG provides 3-5 leading questions for the reader to address. Here’s where it can be a great learning tool. A Senior Leader in your organization can facilitate the discussion on the assigned book chapter making use of the leading questions provided by PDG.

OR… PDG can actually conduct the Chapter Review, either on-site at your organization or electronically through Skype or another video medium.

Don’t overlook this great learning tool. There are a host of excellent books on the commercial market, many of them easy to read in terms of length of chapters and content that is chalk-filled with more learning ideas.

PDG’S AUDIO-N-REVIEW

Similar to the PDG’s Book/Chapter-n-Review, a business audio file of choices if selected by your organization and PDG can provide the same effort to provide greater understanding to what the spoken message intended.

Many of the workshops that Brad Humphrey has conducted over the past years have been placed on MP3 or Podcast format. For topics that may be helpful to you and your organization, go to our bookstore and select your next learning experience!

EDUCATIONAL WEBINARS

PDG continues to recognize the need for learning to take place in just about every time period but “8-5.” Throughout the year, PDG will make learning available on-line in the evenings and on the weekends. Purposely kept to 30-90 minute sessions, these learning forums may fit you and your team of leaders just perfect for that extra effort to grow your organization.

Training Workshops

Pinnacle Development Group has been engaged with conducting public and private “on-site” training workshops for more than twenty-five years. Topics? Just go back and review those listed on the Curriculum and Inner Company Writing page. And that’s just a sampling.

It is, however, the forum and format that can turn any training environment into the learning experience that you want it to be. Pinnacle Development Group creates workshops that are high on participation, role-play scenarios, open discussion, and motivated learning. When participants leave a PDG workshop they are mentally prepared and physically capable of putting their new learned practices into action.

Brad Humphrey Training Boot Camp Consulting

Pinnacle Development Group believes that when training, the learning must be practical and hands-on. PDG is focused on putting effective how-to’s into the minds and hands of those in attendance. You don’t invest in training to merely have your people hear about some good principles; you invest in training so that your people immediately change their behavior, thus, impacting performance and success for all involved.

Training workshops presented by Pinnacle Development Group range in time from half-day (3 hours) to full day (6-7 hours) to two-days. All of the topics listed on the Curriculum and Inner Company Writing page can be developed for a half to full day.

Training Workshops and Boot Camps

Pinnacle Development Group has developed several two-day workshops over the years (including recent all day sessions at National Pavement Expo and World of Concrete) that can also be tailored to your firm’s needs. The two-day format falls under what PDG calls their “Boot Camp Series” and includes:

  • Construction Leadership Boot-Camp*
  • Leadership Boot-Camp+
  • Sales Boot-Camp
  • The Professional Leader Boot-Camp
  • Communication Boot-Camp
  • The Ultimate Planning & Decision Making Boot-Camp

*Construction Leadership Boot-Camp is specifically designed for construction leaders including Superintendents, Project Managers, Foremen, Owners, and Project/Division Leaders

We guarantee that your people have never experienced training like they will from a Pinnacle Development Group training experience. Time flies by for those attending as they are kept on their seats edge through challenging discussions, group interactions, real-work simulations, and of course, always in an environment that is encouraging, motivating, and humorous.
