Why might I/we need
your services?
Every organization,
and individual, at some point could benefit from professional third-party
assistance. It can
be as simple
as offering
an ‘outsider’s view’, serving as a sounding board,
providing a guideline or path to achieving a goal or a bit more
complicated, in helping to sort out difficult committee structures
and personal
grievances. Whatever the situation, Zalkin Training and Development
is there to listen and recommend proven educational and strategic
plans to help.
What can I/we reasonably expect to achieve?
Of course, in
any process, the more one puts into a program the more one gets
out. Zalkin
Training and Development will provide
the materials
and structure needed to get on the right track. You will come out
of the sessions armed with a resource of valuable information and
instruction – often
with interactive and participatory experience from the program
itself. Continued success and self-confidence will be achieved
through commitment
to the program following the sessions with ZTD. Forward progress
is made with every step!
How
much time will it take to complete my/our goal(s)?
That, of course, depends on your goal(s) and how
much time you have to invest. Certain training workshops may be
completed in
a day or
two, whereas, board retreats or multi-faceted situations may
require more time. We are happy to discuss your specific needs
and determine
what is right for you.
How much will it cost?
Obviously, costs vary depending on whether
you book a workshop, a board assessment or decide to engage in
a coaching relationship.
For coaching,
clients purchase blocks of time. Training workshop fees include
preparation, customization, material fees, assessment tools
and travel/hotel. Please
contact the office for specific information on these fees.
Are
there discounts available if we decide to purchase training and
coaching services from ZTD?
Absolutely! If
you want to book a training program or board/staff retreat, you
will save money when coaching
services are
bundled with the training
or retreat. Please contact us for specific details.
Where
will the sessions take place?
Training workshops/board
retreats are usually held at hotels, resorts or at your site. Most
local
coaching
clients come
to my office
for our sessions. Out of town coaching sessions are
held via phone and
heavy use of e-mail. (Local clients can also elect
to use phone sessions - after an initial face-to-face meeting).
Who
else should be involved in the process?
In the case of coaching,
it may only be the client and coach. If your organization is paying
for the coaching
services,
your immediate
supervisor
may want to attend the initial session to outline
boundaries, confidentiality and the entire process. For the finalization
of the objectives
for training workshops and retreats, we recommend
that
key people be invited
to shape the agenda. This encourages participation,
involvement and ownership.
How long has ZTD offered training
and coaching services?
ZTD has
been offering training and coaching services since 1985. Our
workshops and training programs have
been presented
throughout
the
USA and in Southeast Asia. We estimate that over
37,500 people have benefited from our workshops and coaching
services since
1985. Plans
are in the works to deliver training programs in
Shanghai,
China in 2006.
Does ZTD offer a guarantee?
Yes! We want you to be satisfied with
our interactive, participant-centered workshops and our professional
coaching services. If you are not
pleased, we will either schedule a re-do or the program is free!
If it is a coaching relationship, your fees will be fully refunded.
