In this episode I get to talk to Katherine Handin who is the CEO of the Global Coaching Alliance, who are as their website says  “an executive coaching and leadership consulting firm dedicated to helping organizational leaders inspire the best in others and passionately pursue business objectives with vigour, insight and precision.”

I have known Katherine for almost ten years now through our work with global clients, and like me she has  a clear idea of how adult learning is being challenged by the economies of digital learning, and how cost benefits don’t outweigh the lack of “stickiness” and ultimate change in behaviour.  In this discussion we look at both sides of the argument and provide our joint knowledge and experience to hopefully give organisations a better understanding of how self-directed learning and supported learning can live symbiotically to best serve the individual’s development, and ultimately the organisations goals.

How can we help?

Our methodology of challenging individuals to think for themselves so they can develop business solutions will fit perfectly with the MCT ethos whereby individuals are encouraged to make their own decisions yet have doors opened to them to experiment with new ideas and seek out new opportunities for employment. Supported by our inroads into leadership, training, and development and, for the young entrepreneurs, advice on sales, sales negotiation, marketing and customer service, the plan is to find the best practical solutions to achieve excellent results for this group of vulnerable yet extremely ambitious young people.
