2. Training with a Purpose
Mateffy and Company training experiences are structured to meet these goals:
• To put the participant at the center of learning. This makes the learner responsible to participate in
the training and use the new knowledge and skills developed afterward.
• To present new information in engaging, interactive, meaningful ways. Rather than endless lecture
that bores the trainees and wears out the trainer, Mateffy and Company classroom training sessions
are filled with opportunities for participants to work with and retain the content. Materials are
written with a sense of humor that keeps the learner motivated and involved.
• To build connections between the training session and real life. Nobody wants to spend precious
training dollars providing information for information’s sake. To change behavior and motivate
employees, new information has to translate into practical, real life action. Throughout the training
sessions, participants plan how they will use the skills they build the minute they return to their
workstations. The result is trackable behavior change that justifies dollars spent.
• To be fun with a purpose. Too often people greet the idea of training with the grim expectation of
mind numbing hours spent stuck in a chair. By getting people up and moving, challenging their
creativity, and allowing them the chance to have some fun along the way, we create a learning
experience that boosts retention.
• To provide opportunities to share expertise. We believe that in any given room of participants, there
is a vast reservoir of experience, ideas, and practical solutions to common challenges. We create
training that builds in plenty of opportunities to tap this reservoir through discussions, exercises,
and network building.
Along with award-winning training program creation and delivery, we also offer:
• Candidate competency evaluation tools.
• Coaching services for leaders.
• Engagement level measuring tools.
• Candidate interviewing worksheets.
• Keynote presentations.
• Organizational development surveys.
• Printing, assembly, and distribution services.
• Script writing.
• Training program review services.
• Videotape production.
• Writing and editing services.
