What’s in a name?
Deciding what to name the company was perhaps one of the hardest tasks to accomplish in my journey to begin my business. For years, I have worked to be disciplined in my goal setting. Some days, weeks, months, years achieving more steps backwards than forwards but always learning along the way. I haven’t always known where my steps would take me but I knew I must just DO! Do by definition is an action: “to perform; to execute, to come to pass, to carry out”. Without action we are just static. We must think, reflect, plan, strategize and sometimes, we must simply DO!
Our Philosophy
Learning and development isn’t a one time event but rather an ongoing process. Individuals are unique; as are companies, each with a unique set of needs necessary for growth. Do! Learning & Development is centered around the belief that one size does not fit all and one training solution isn’t right for everyone.
All businesses are special in many ways and their L&D needs are only part of the equation. Most business owners are so busy running the business that development often falls to the bottom of their list of many priorities. The reality is that well trained employees are more engaged and when they are more engaged, they perform better. Higher performance equals better results. Additionally, many business owners don’t take the time to improve and enhance their own skills or examine the job expectations of their employees within the company they work so hard to make a success.
Focusing on companies, groups and individuals who do not have or need a full time Learning & Development professional, I take the time to get to know you and your business and make recommendations that are developed with your goals in mind. I listen first.
Do! Learning & Development offers a wide range of services that includes employee training and new hire onboarding, soft skills training, management and leadership development, team dynamics, and performance coaching.
Whatever your learning & development needs are, I am ready to customize a solution for you.
