Welcome Summer!

 

The heat is on!  With most of New England recovering from the recent heat wave, we are all scrambling for ways to stay cool.  I hope you are all enjoying these long summer days and that you manage to take some time to vacation with friends and family!

 

This year, I am proud to say, CRG ASSOCIATES is celebrating its 15 year anniversary.  We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with such extraordinary people and organizations over the past 15 years!  We continue to pursue, with passion and deep understanding, the training and development of individuals and teams.  These leaders have helped to shape their organizations as better places to work and grow.  CRG ASSOCIATES remains at the forefront of our industry.  With the latest technology and research, we offer expanding capabilities including the integration of Learning 2.0 technology and the most recent research on engaging the brain.  Learn about these topics and more at our upcoming CRG ASSOCIATES' Mini-Conference on Wednesday, September 15th.  Please add this to your calendar now and plan to join us on this day!

 

I hope you find the articles below of interest.  This summer is a great opportunity to take some time to participate in one or more of the complimentary informational virtual webinars we are offering.  There are some exciting developments in the field of training and development!  If you have any questions on any of these new developments, please feel free to contact me!
