"Bruce's coaching works because he challenges you and pushes your comfort zone - and somehow makes it fun! You come out of his classes with skills and habits that become permanent.
He's helped me succeed professionally. I just wish I had learned these skills in high school."
- Jonah Berman, Program Manager
The Learning Process
The Skillset Company offers a distinctive and engaging way to develop essential real-world skills. Our programs emphasize interactive learning that challenges you to move outside your comfort zone - in a supportive environment where you are more apt to push yourself - and fosters a higher level of thinking.
We can offer you a financially risk-free guarantee because of our proven learning process. Every open-enrollment class, customized program, coaching engagement and digital program (several coming soon) is built on three pillars of learning: High-level, interactive and practical.
High-level
Most students go through high school and college with few opportunities to develop strong communication, public speaking, interview, feedback, sales or collaboration skills. Having the opportunity to develop any professional-level skills, even at the most elite schools, is almost nonexistent. We offer students the opportunity to develop advanced skills they can use every day.
For professionals our programs are an opportunity for them to hone specific skills essential to their success and the success of their team and organization. Motivated people crave ways to improve but don't want to waste time in training that doesn't have impact. We provide personal and professional development that motivated people need, want and appreciate.
Interactive
Our programs are nothing like classroom learning or a typical sit-back-and-listen training or lecture. Participants are constantly engaged in various activities to keep them moving physically and mentally. Between small-group exercises, presentations, discussions and role-plays, our clients experience learning that is challenging, thought-provoking and fun.
Practical
There are many skills young professionals and emerging leaders need to succeed. Our expertise is in three critical areas: How to give and receive constructive feedback; Effective communication with clients and senior management; And how to deliver engaging presentations. Through high-level learning and simple reinforcement tools, our clients quickly develop and continually refine skills and habits critical for success.
Through research and experience we identified several critical real-world skills students need to develop so they can handle the transition to college with less stress, thrive in college and stand out in their interviews, speeches and internships. High school and college students receive the same high-level learning our professional clients experience.
