| The Booher Difference |
|
| |
| The most expensive
training occurs when learners invest
time, effort, and money in a course,
only to return to the job without having
mastered the concepts and skills or
without being able to achieve the expected
business results. While Booher's pricing
strategy is to remain in the middle
of the American Society for Training
and Development survey ranges, we pledge
to deliver the highest quality for your
investment. And we succeed! |

| What Makes Booher
Different? |
| |
|
| |
| |
| Proprietary
Content: Learn Practical Techniques
and Strategies That Really Work |
| Our methodology, techniques,
and strategies are not based on public
domain information. Rather, our course
content has been created on more than
twenty years of first-hand experience
with business professionals. Booher
is involved in ongoing research in the
field of communication, as evidenced
by the more than 40 books published
by major US publishers (Simon and Schuster,
HarperCollins, Warner, Prentice Hall,
McGraw-Hill) and authored by program
creator Dianna Booher.
None of our programs are based on self-published
works. Additionally, our program design
involves accelerated learning principles
to match the way adults learn. |

| Measurable
Results: Make Sure Your Investment Pays
Off |
All Booher courses
include recognized standards of measurement
first identified by Donald Kirkpatrick
(levels 1-4 of measurement). All Booher
courses include measurements at levels
1 and 2. Additionally, Booher can lead
organizations to complete level 3 and
level 4 measurements:
Level 1: Learner satisfaction survey
Level 2: Tests on skills, knowledge,
or attitude
Level 3: Application of skills/knowledge
on the job
Level 4: Impact of learning and on-the-job
use of skills/knowledge to the organization's
profitability |

| Customization
of Programs: Use Ideas and Exercises
Appropriate to Your Needs |
| One size does not fit
all. Booher can either customize an
existing communication training program or create "from
scratch" a program focused on your
objectives and communication issues,
situations, documents, or presentations.
To us, customizing does not mean simply
changing a course title or adding a
client logo on the workshop materials.
True customization or program creation
may involve creation of new exercises,
development of unique job-aid references,
change of emphasis, and feedback appropriate
to learners' specific job functions. |
| |
| Multiple
Formats for Delivery: Stay Flexible
for Delivering Training to Multiple
Locations and Under Different Business
Conditions |
| Booher offers its communication skills training programs
to suit your diverse audience needs:
in-house and public workshops, licensing
arrangements for client delivery on
intranets or in the classroom, CD-ROMs,
and self-study audio or video programs. |
| |
| Proven
Track Record: Remove Your Risk |
| Booher has provided
training for 280 of the Fortune 500
companies, including comprehensive custom
training programs for IBM, American
Airlines, MCI, Deloitte & Touche,
and JCPenney. (Partial
Client List) |
| |
| Appropriate
Class Size and Use of Time: Ensure Time
Is Well Spent with Ample Practice and
Feedback—No Fluff |
| For both in-house and
public writing and presentation skills training workshops, Booher maintains a
small class size of 10 to 20 participants,
depending on the course topic. Why?
Small classes allow interactivity, questions
from learners, personal feedback from
instructor and peers, and ample practice
time. Our 8-hour and 16-hour workshops
include just that—8 or 16 hours
of instruction, without distractions
of sales pitches or back-of-the-room
product sales. |
| |
| Administrative
Support to Clients: Eliminate the Worry
by Letting Us Handle the Details |
| Booher has the support staff to assist
you with program delivery— from
room diagrams and audiovisual coordination
to course announcements, shipping details,
and certificates of completion. We have
enough certified communication skills instructors to deliver
your program to thousands of employees
within a few weeks. You confirm the
dates; we handle the rest. |
