We began our work more than 30 years ago committed to the idea that if we taught skills grounded in sound social science, we could change the world by changing behavior. And our fidelity to those ideals helped us create training courses that changed thousands of organizations and millions of lives.
But the past also illuminates opportunities for growth. And what’s next for us is to move beyond training and inspire learning. To make our skills more inclusive, flexible, and accessible. And to improve the world by empowering people to improve themselves.
Crucial Learning communicates two powerful ideas that embody our new mission and focus.
First, Crucial. We teach essential skills for life’s crucial moments. Our curated set of skills disproportionately impact the outcomes you care about most including the strength of your relationships, your career performance, your happiness, and your ability to manage stress. With skills to master crucial moments, you have the power to improve your life or business.
Next, Learning. Learning doesn’t start in the classroom and end with a degree. It’s a journey. From infancy through old age, we learn by doing, failing, and observing. It is through learning that we achieve dreams, accomplish goals, and succeed.
