About Us
Our Mission
Leadership development fads come and go. The truth is that there are very few breakthrough ideas in the field. Most concepts have been around for decades, if not centuries.
But the business environment changes at a very rapid pace. Therefore, the strategies and tools we use to implement those fundamental leadership principles must evolve and adapt to fit current changes, realities, and challenges.
The WHAT of leadership development is grounded in universal principles and practices; the HOW of leadership development must constantly evolve to fit the needs of a continually changing business world to stay relevant.
However, the HOW hasn’t evolved to meet today’s needs for either the learner or the purchaser. Clients have the same frustrations with vendors today that they had 20 years ago:
- The unengaging “sage on a stage”
- Generic, theoretical, rather than practical, content and tools, with unrealistic application to the real world
- No meaningful follow-up after learning sessions
- Training that is not scalable to a large or global audience
- Training companies that over-promise and under-deliver
- Unreasonable and confusing fees
- Not Client Focused!
After working in the field for over 20 years and hearing the same frustrations, again and again, I realized that I could change the experience—for EVERYONE!
The Kramer Way
Our way is not a “breakthrough idea” or a “quick fix” flavor of the month. It is a comprehensive approach to the entire leadership development process — end to end. It was inspired by more than 20 years of working in the industry and from feedback and conversations with HR professionals, management, and learners at all levels. And it is based on respect for your needs as a client and partner.
Your job is to bring exceptional learning experiences to your employees and organization, learning that makes a real difference to individuals, teams, and the organization. And you want to do so in a way that is simple, streamlined, and focused on your needs. That is what we deliver – creative, learner-focused, relevant, practical, engaging experiences AND a partner who wants to help you shine while keeping things as simple as possible.
Our Guiding Principles
- Unapologetically client-focused
- Learning should be relevant, practical, engaging, and fun
- Model what we teach; practice what we preach
- Our clients’ success is our success
- A growth mindset, as well as a mindset of abundance, accelerates success for everyone
Vision
We help leaders make their mark on the world…
