Custom Workshops

Hi. This is Dr. Will Thalheimer. I teach all our workshops. My goal is to help your team build wildly more effective learning interventions, and my workshop designs reflect that. I begin with hard research, translated to make it practical. I help your folks build deep mental models of how learning works to generate on-the-job performance.
I keep the focus on the practical. I help prepare your learners to bring back wisdom to their workplace.

All workshops are tailored to the needs of the specific client, audience, and workplace. We can go as deep as you want. I've provided short sessions covering a few narrow topics, or multiday intensives building actual learning interventions.
