"I would highly recommend the Facilitators Series Workshop to anyone with a desire to improve their personal skill set and comfort level in group facilitation and public speaking. Ralph and his Team have put together a comprehensive program that includes all the bells and whistles one needs to become a masterful facilitator. The benefit of attending a "series" like this versus jam packed and compressed one, two, or three day workshop are numerous. It allows the participants to build new relationships with other professionals, many opportunities to truly "play" with the new tools they are learning about, and a layered way of learning that is fu, interactive, and sticks. At JMG we think we are pretty well versed at how to best optimize learning experiences for our students and I can tell you firsthand THIS IS IT!"

"The icing on the cake are the folks at Priority Learning. They say it often with words but it is clearly demonstrated in their actions that they are sincerely invested in the success of all of their participants! THANKS AGAIN FOR AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!"

Testimonial by Katy Foley of JMG South Region Manager

"The class provided great tools to help not only present to an audience but to interact and become part of the audience as well. I found the increased level of comfort speaking to a group brought about by regular and varied presentations extremely helpful. Another great asset I took away was the ability to develop a multistep program to educate based on the various tools provided, i.e. Three Types of Learning Styles, Outlining & Sequencing Content, ROPES Method, etc. All three tools have already been used in successful presentations to customers and work colleagues. These are valuable tools I will keep on hand in the work book and continually refer to. All in all a great class that was fun and comfortable to attend. I believe the comfort factor made the pickup of information and overall take away key to a successful and ultimately profitable learning experience. I look forward to the next one."
Testimonial By Pete Sullivan of Southworth International

"It hit me as we went through out presentations how much we've learned in the eight-class series. I can't thank you enough for the opportunity. Between all the material, practice, and feedback, I'm so much better prepared to do my job. Even though I went into the class kicking and screaming, I'm beyond grateful to have completed it under the guidance of you both as facilitating gurus. You make such a difference to me and Jotul. Many, many, thanks..."
Testimonial By Krista Irmischer of Jotul North America

"I had the opportunity to explore transferring knowledge through facilitation in ways I never would have tried. Reading and doing are two very different things. Now I walk away with experience and more confidence. A very challenging course, but soooo worth it!"
Testimonial by Betsy St.Pierre of Town & Country FCU

"I want you to know thatI truly did develop a number of skills that I use in everyday life, as well as a new and liberating form of self confidence, both from my time with Priority Learning and especially with the Facilitator Series."
Testimonial By Kandy Moreau of TruChoice FCU

"As a long time client of Priority Learning's Leadership trainings, I naturally had high expectations for the Facilitator Series. As usual, I wasn't disappointed. The content alone is enough to allow you to "step up your game" as far as facilitation goes, but the interaction of the other attendees, the encouragement, and the hands on practice has allowed me to really get a comfort level when it comes to presenting to groups and facilitating a successful session. I believe that anyone participating in the course, rookies and seasoned facilitators alike, would gain valuable information amidst a judgment free audience that can make any facilitation fun and successful."
Alison Spaulding, Market Analyst, Southworth International Inc.

"The Facilitators Series at Priority Learning, has been a great learning experience for me personally. Through each class I have not only been challenged by the content but also by the other participants. During each session, we have learned new techniques for the teaching, training or facilitation crafts and then had an opportunity to apply them with the group. As with all other Priority Learning classes the learning also happens from hearing the successes and challenges that the other students have faced, both in the classroom and in their work settings. The lessons that I am learning through this series are changing, for the better, how I approach everything from day to day meetings to our longer term continuous improvement initiatives."
Scott Clinch, Manufacturing Manager, Jotul North America

"The Facilitators Series is a very effective program which delivers the theoretical knowledge and the hands-on experience for successful group facilitation. This program should be a requirement for anyone in a position of leadership, training, or any position where strong effective communication is a must."
Rob Lombard, VP Human Resources, Southworth International Inc.

"The Facilitators Series at Priority Learning provides discussion and training on the core skills and process required to successfully transfer learning to an audience. By continually practicing these skills in a live setting and receiving critical, honest feedback provided by the organizers and other participants, this course has enabled me to better document and plan my training sessions as well as substantially improve my overall delivery abilities. This course is highly recommended and is ideal for those new at the craft, trainers with varying levels of experience or any individual with leadership desires."
Jay Hallam, VP of Training, Kennebunk Savings Bank

"As a veteran of business for over 25 years, I have been part of more training sessions and seminars than I care to remember. Many were not worth the time they took away from other work. My time at Priority Learning has been a decided exception to that pattern.

At Priority Learning I have gained critical insights and knowledge that I did not even realize I was lacking. The experience of understanding how we are fundamentally motivated and how each of us perceives and acts has been a remarkable awakening for me. As a trained engineer and manager, I had a very rigid fact based world view. If there was a problem, I often directed the fix. I may have been right, and I may have had good answers, but I now realize that I frequently did not empower or grow my direct reports or coworkers. Being right does not always mean getting the best result for everyone

What Priority Learning has taught me is that I can be more beneficial to my company and peers by coaching them to constantly grow and solve their own problems. I have learned to have more faith in others, and to recognize the power encouragement as opposed to criticism. With out doubt, Priority Learning has provided me with some of the most valuable learning experiences of my life."
