Learning is an investment. The purpose of The Learning Café is to design learning solutions that produce business results and support personal growth. We partner with you to build programs that provide a return on your investment and promote individual effectiveness. Our solutions include workshops, conference breakouts and keynote speeches, large scale learning events, and mentoring initiatives. All are designed to increase organizational effectiveness. The Learning Café creates learning experiences that enable your participants to explore new ideas and to discover new perspectives. We turn potential into performance.

Our Principles

Our principles describe not only how we work but how we design solutions for our clients.

• We respect diversity of learning styles through multiple delivery approaches.
• We engage learners through discovery, conversation and reflection; learning by doing is more powerful than leaning by rote.
• We create an informal environment for interaction and relationship building; learning is social and many of the benefits of training are unintentional.
• We structure the physical environment to encourage interaction, social learning and peer learning.
• We enable self-directed learning; the learner knows best what needs to be learned.
• We honor the knowledge that is already in the learning community.

Our Philosophy

Our passion and expertise lie in crafting structured programs and individual workshop experiences that provoke new thinking and new perspectives. Our consulting work is based on the premise that the most effective programs or interventions are client-centered rather than consultant-centered. Likewise, in the classroom we believe that the most profound learning is learner-generated rather than facilitator-generated.
