as an L&D professional:

  • You expect high quality in training.
  • effectiveness and measurability of L&D is high on the agenda.
  • Want to impact the business with your L&D efforts.
  • internal recruitment of participants for the courses is sometimes difficult.
  • don't believe in "sit and listen," you want dynamism in a workout.
  • like to keep in mind the diversity of participants.
  • hybrid or blended learning, should always be possible for you.
  • scheduling training in schedules is often a challenge.
  • wants strong content and thus seeks experts.

This is something you want to avoid as an L&D manager:

  • You hear from participants after training that they didn't pick up much.
  • You or the managers see no effect of the trainings.
  • A weak apprenticeship offering that also degrades your employer branding and retention.
  • A curriculum that does not meet the government's new requirements.
  • No replacement in case of a sick trainer so you have to reschedule everything.
  • Low motivation and difficult intake for certain courses.
  • Training without knowing the effect on business.
  • Not knowing what training is needed to obtain certain skill in employees.
  • Unable to demonstrate to management that training makes a difference (effectiveness measurement).
  • Tension between what you need training versus what they want to follow.
  • Because of a long proposal process, everything is delayed.
  • ...

Do you also find this difficult when looking for in-company training?

  • Focus the learning objectives.
  • Attractively articulate the training.
  • Motivate employees to attend training.
  • Ensuring that training has a real effect on results.
  • Training planning and organization.
  • Ensuring didactic quality.
  • A training exact to the level of the (mixed group of) participants.
  • Difficult contact with the provider.

What can you expect from us? Taking a training course at Obelisk means:

Discover our vision of learning
Learning by doing
In the training there is a balance between theoretical frameworks and practical exercises. The trainer takes the group through a variety of learning methods and during the training the participants experiment with the new behavior.
Sustainable skills development
Training skills only works when the participant also knows what is going on with him/her. We therefore also look at inner beliefs, values, dilemmas and attitudes. We translate these 'insights' into alternative 'out-sights'.
Practicing in a mini-reality
During the intake we get a clear picture of the learning needs. The (work) situation is simulated during the training using realistic cases. The participant goes home with a targeted action plan and can immediately apply the skills learned in the (work) environment.
Getting hybrid lessons
Obelisk believes in the power of hybrid solutions; the combination of offline and online. Our hybrid trainings are not a "copy-paste" of classroom training. They are adapted to the new reality and our coaches retrained. The result is a full hybrid package with the best of both worlds, online and offline.
Stretching to learn
You don't learn in a comfort zone. That's why during a training course we will stretch that comfort zone. The participant is challenged without ending up in the stress zone.
Practice in a safe environment
The trainer creates a safe learning environment. This makes it easier to be vulnerable during practice and creates a connection with the other participants in the learning group.
Becoming stronger as a person
The participants' awareness, competence and self-confidence are boosted, making him/her more empowered.
