How do you gain leverage with your employer, so you have freedoms and privileges your coworkers don't? Answer: only through the skills that move you beyond basic job performance.

For example, consider how many truly awful presentations you have sat through, all the while wishing you were out getting a root canal instead. Our Presentations course teaches you how to present in a way that makes people glad they got to listen to you speak.

Or consider our problem-solving course. Why do bosses reward certain employees and not others? Is it because they work so hard? No, because bosses expect everyone to work hard; fail to do that and you're likely to be shown the door. What bosses really need is to have their problems solved. But few people have a dependable methodology for quickly and effectively solving problems. Our problem-solving course teaches you that methodology.

Our other courses similarly provide you with a career edge your coworkers are unlikely to have. But if another coworker does have that edge, why would you want to be at a disadvantage to that person when it comes down to the two of you for a promotion, raise, or layoff decision?

The problem isn't that the employers can't find people who meet the basic qualifications of the job. It's that they can't find people who have that something extra. You need additional skills, in the areas we offer courses for. If you're presently working, that's great. You can apply what you learn on the job and have a track record you can talk about in the event you seek a job in the future or a promotion soon. If you're not working, you will still have the skills and you will be able to discuss them convincingly, thus giving you an edge in the skill wars job market.
