Education and Training

Stephanie Lahar and Associates offers exceptional education and training options, grounded in sound theory and fully translated into hands-on, practice-based learning. We carefully design and sequence learning activities to build progressively complex skills. With over 20 years experience in college, university and organizational settings, we understand what works for adult learners and ensure that skills that are usable during a class or training event are transferable to the workplace. We tailor educational or training option to the needs of participants, and incorporate relevant issues facing your organization. A co-trainer model is preferred, except for very small groups. The following are training options that have been offered recently, but contact us also about offerings not on this list.

· Key Skills in Conflict Resolution

· Handling Difficult Situations With the Public
  Geared to policymakers and others in the position of representing policy
  or regulatory decisions in public forums
· Organizational Development and the Consulting Process
  Training for consultants that has also been adapted to cultures outside of
  the U.S.

“The trainers used the advance information on our expectations in the workshop design. They modeled the behavior they were teaching, invited and facilitated active participation, and were flexible in working with us to “tweak” the workshop as time went on. They were just dynamite!”

“ Nice pacing, respectful feedback and direction, good plan and facilitation. I appreciated the balance of work and reflection built into the training. Great resources and handouts.”
