The Program Manager at a leading actuary firm in Canada shares how Think On Your Feet® helped new employees entering the workforce gain confidence participating and contributing in meaningful ways to progress in their careers.*

The CHALLENGE: What created the need for you to source training?

“We had a need for a hands-on communication session for new members who are now entering the workforce. This was the first time we tried the more hands-on workshop approach. In the past, it had usually been something more along the lines of a keynote speaker who would just talk about what to do to improve communication.” 

THE SOLUTION: Think On Your Feet®

“The group of people we work with are by nature very introverted. We needed something that would make them comfortable to break out and participate in a meaningful way and also learn some skills that can help them progress in their career. The expectation was that it would be something concrete and easy to apply. 100% of those needs were met by the workshop.” 

THE RESULTS: What was the business impact?

“There was a definite impact based on the feedback we received from the participants, who found the techniques very useful and easy to apply to their professional lives. This workshop was the perfect blend of teaching and getting them to practice what is fresh in their minds.”

FINAL THOUGHTS:

“Think On Your Feet® sessions are always very well-received. The workshop definitely meets our needs. Participants mentioned that they learned a lot of useful tips that they will continue to use going forward. We have also always had great success with the facilitators. We’re very happy with the program.”
