Bespoke / Custom Classes
While there are foundational principles that can be taught in all our training offerings, we believe those who attend a training or seminar should have a truly useful learning experience.
To accomplish this goal - we prefer to understand your organization’s needs when we develop our material and presentations. This allows us to tailor the courses to your unique situation and needs to ensure you and your team get the best results possible.
Not sure how this works - Let’s Talk!
TESTIMONIALS
Below are a sample of feedback provided by bespoke training course attendees…
“Ray has a passion and talent for locating those often hidden or unrecognized gemstones. Highlighting and polishing each member's unique motivators and communication preferences brought our whole team to common ground. From that point the real light shines where the team recognizes its own similarities and differences and how best to combine to achieve the desired results. The emphasis, which can't be overstated, is that this high-performance output was not at the expense of overall team happiness (e.g. crushing work-life balance, authoritarian rule), rather by fostering the foundational team layers such as mutual respect, empathy, and distinct communication styles. Ray is your guide to those essential diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. Ray worked with our team providing durable results which are evident many months/years later.”

“Thank you for the presentation. The training was extremely practical and beneficial. So many amazing strategies, which can be easily and immediately implemented. I am confident that once we use these ideas / strategies, we’ll begin to incrementally reap a good harvest within our respective teams and by virtue throughout the organization as a whole.”
“First I must say thanks for the priceless knowledge that you have imparted with us. I am quite sure that none of us, the participants, left this course in the same manner in which we have entered. I strongly believe that we have departed with a different mindset. I only wish that we had the time to go more in depth. Overall, it was very informative, and in no uncertain terms, I left the Course understanding the importance of being AUTHENTIC as Leader, and the effect it will have on one’s Leadership Legacy. We appreciate you.”
“Let me take this opportunity to apprise you that the training workshop was the most informative one I ever received in leadership. I truly understand your goal and wish you all the success in your journey.”
“Thanks again for a very productive and insightful reintroduction to leadership. The session was very engaging and the delivery style enabled self-reflection and correlation with the organization and what is hoping to be achieved.”
“The course material you provided and the discussions conducted gave me a different perspective on my role as a leader/manager. What I personally liked about the course was that the presentation you created made it very easy to understand the concepts.”
“I give your course a FIVE star rating.”
“Good morning Mr. Swarts. Thank you for the course notes. I enjoyed being there and participating; it is one of the most meaningful training courses on leadership that I have had in the RCIPS. I strongly wish that this type of training reaches upper management so that they can embrace the tenets of the triangle. Your delivery was lively, engaging and thought provoking. I do hope that staff eventually get an opportunity to have this training because I believe there is a leader in everyone just waiting to develop or mature.”
“As I get older it is a fact of my personality that I engage less and less in training as my career gets towards its twilight. Yesterday was refreshing in content and input, thank you for that. It did make me look inwards to see what my style and standard of leadership is.”
