One of our core business is training trainers: how to manage the learning and development function, how to design effective learning, how to facilitate training with impact…the whole train-the-trainer process.

We accomplish this through

To share our expertise and passion for adult learning, inspiring others to do the same.
The best thing about CATD is our unique culture.
We created these core values to more clearly define what exactly CATD culture is. They are reflected in everything we do and every interaction we have. Our core values are always the framework from which we make all of our decisions.
Deliver DELIGHT
Anything worth doing is worth doing with DELIGHT and WOW factor. To do this, we differentiate ourselves by doing things expertly and with passion. We go above and beyond ‘average’ to create an emotional impact on our clients, to give them practical and useful tools and a positive experience they can take with them the rest of their lives.
Get the Fun back to learning –Make learning fun.
We have a sense of humor: we know that it’s good to laugh at ourselves every once in a while. We find fun even when we’re getting lots done.
Embrace the only constant -Change!
Change is the only constant and so we not only handle constant change but expect it and embrace it with open arms. We are always thinking of ways to improve processes and perspectives. Without change, we can’t continue to provide the superior learning and development experience that is the DAPL trademark.
Pursue ongoing Growth and Learning
We continuously develop ourselves both personally and professionally, enhancing our talents, skills and abilities, knowing that only through personal growth and development will we continue to progress as a company and as individuals. We work to unlock the potential of everyone we work with – clients and colleagues alike. The only way we can take advantage of new opportunities or solve new problems that arise is by learning and growing to greet them head-on.
Build lasting Partnerships
We take a partnership approach to all of our relationships. Our honesty when interacting with others leads to strong relationships built on trust. We act with integrity and compassion. Above all, we listen. We are committed to act in the best interest of our clients, our colleagues, our organization, and our communities. We serve one another and our clients by removing obstacles and enabling everyone to do their best work. Each team member takes initiative when he notices issues and collaborates to address them. We watch out for each other and care for each other. We treat life as a journey rather than a competition. We know that it’s not what we say or do, but how we make people feel that matters most. We care about others, personally and professionally. We lead by example, acknowledging the value of our resources/relationships and using them wisely to achieve our objectives and goals. In addition, our content and delivery philosophy has enabled us to consistently meet and exceed our clients’ expectations with resounding success:
All of our content is researched, designed and developed at our corporate office with input from our Certified Master Trainers, feedback from our clients, and other experts in training and development.
WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL?
Our focus is on professional personal development for individuals and growth for businesses. We deliver tailored, targeted training designed to get results. No box-ticking. Just huge personal and business gains.
Because we’re the best…seriously! We’ve been around for 19 years. We LOVE training and we’re really good at what we do.
First
we’ve been there and can relate with you. A sense of deja vu simply helps us understand your challenges better as have been and are a part of the learning and development for a very long time. We have managed a wide range of resources from large staffs and even with hefty budgets to a department of one!
Second
we are constantly growing and changing to meet the ever-changing needs and demands of learning professionals. Not only do we train trainers to be better at designing and delivering training, we offer train the trainer workshops and coaching on managing and coordinating the training function as well as performance consulting. We are among the first to offer train the trainer certifications for the serious learning professional. All of our certifications require a performance component as we couldn’t have it any other way!
Third
we offer state of the art consulting services to better serve your ever- changing organizational performance needs! The only thing that is constant today is change and companies and its personnel need to adapt faster than ever before.
Our Principles of work
Our work is based on a number of guiding principles:
Understanding the feelings people have when they are required to raise their game, when they experience change or when they need to be more effective, motivated and enthusiastic
Behavior change is hard at the best of times, so we encourage change that’s ‘do-able’ and compatible with each person’s individuality. We avoid any attempt at wholesale personality transplants
Making the smallest change for the biggest impact. Sustainable and relevant behavior change will only work if it isn’t hard to do and has a big pay off - anything else is a waste of time and money
Having fun. We believe that people more easily take on new behaviors and thinking in an environment that is enjoyable and light-hearted, so that the serious stuff is much easier to deal with
