Corporate Training & Development

Since 2007, iZone Education has been customizing corporate training workshops for extremely satisfied clients. We have worked side-by-side with them to deliver very valuable corporate retreats.

What sets iZone apart from other training companies is our blending of active experiences with training topics, models and theories from both time-tested and cutting edge thought leaders...curriculum-based team learning.

Every program offered by iZone has some component of interactivity because while we all learn differently, we all learn best by doing. Experience is the best teacher.

Active participation in our programs requires individuals to use a variety of intelligences: linguistic, physical, interpersonal and intrapersonal, then step outside the activity and look at the experience and their roles in it. We've found that experiential learning fosters and strengthens trust, creating an ideal environment for groups with diverse behavioral styles.

In some of our programs, the element of challenging activity is integrated to further remove participants from their comfort zones, thereby enabling them to take risks both physically and emotionally. The heightened responses when people are engaged in this manner, create a state of "relaxed awareness" within themselves, the optimal state for learning.

We work with you to meet your needs in leadership, communication, problem-solving, decision-making, teamwork and more. Whether gained from the FIRO (B) Instrument or a physical activity, your insights will transfer directly to your work environment.

A point of view:

Retreats that aren't really retreats:

"Many executives think that having a retreat with no other purpose than brnging people together on a regular basis is a good practice at best and harmless at worst. It is niether. A retreat is not a company picnic, a party, a 'town hall' meeting, or an executive briefing session. Refererring to such events as retreats gives retreats a bad name. Participants in a retreat without a clear business related purpose may see an offsite as a waste of valuable time that might otherwise have been spent doing 'real' work."

Authors Jon Katzenbach and Douglas Smith have an interesting perspective on high performance teams. The authors studied team work across several companies and base their findings on case studies spanning tough business environments and work challenges. Their findings expose the factors that stimulate high performance in teams. ‘High performance teams typically reflect strong extensions of the basic characteristics of teams’ . According to their book The Wisdom of Teams, these strong extensions grow out of an intense commitment to the team’s mutual purpose. The qualities that distinguish a high performance team from other ordinary teams can be summed up as follows: more
