Our methodology

Have you met far too many trainers who opened a drawer and had all the magic answers just like that? And who after delivering the training-session vanished into thin air? What a contrast with a really tailor-made training! That is why M-ARC applies this method to every training-course:

Bend

Only well-prepared training sessions can bring success. So, M-ARC immerses into your culture and your organization’s working methods.

Aim

Once the preparatory work is done, M-ARC aims for the target. The heart of the matter is to render the training session as meaningful and efficient as possible. M-ARC uses modern training-techniques and chooses the best direction. We aim for the bull’s eye, right?

Hit

When do participants retain the most from our trainings? What makes our coaching sessions successful? A meaningful, systematic and appropriate follow-up helps.

M-ARC attaches equal importance to the fundamental phases of a training-project or coaching-session: bending - aiming - hitting. This approach distinguishes M-ARC from other training-companies.

Building the training

Problem: you would like to build a training-project suited to your organisation and your personnel?

Solution: M-ARC can develop the concept from the first idea through the practical realization. We have ample experience with the appropriate choice of methodology, the building of training programs and follow-up sessions.

M-ARC has access to a wide network of trainers and training organisations and does a high quality talent search for you. We aim for the best fit.

M-ARC will be glad to do the training architecture for your project, irrespective of  who will deliver the program. From creative programs to technical trainings, we develop the program and scan the training market for those best fit to render your project a success.

Individual coaching

Problem: Talented managers deserve a private coach, and their own program. Not to pamper them, but to optimize their performance. Good coaches can work wonders.

Solution: M-ARC combines forces for a crash course prepares managers for the real situation.

A few examples: a manager who has to face a large audience when delivering an important presentation, or who needs to be coached for a tough negotiation process, requiring (lots of) assertiveness.

Or maybe you feel that one of your managers will be better off by attending a personal coaching to make sure she/he becomes a better team coach? Let’s give it a shot with M-ARC.

M-ARC says not to…

M-ARC is not in for commonplace training-sessions you can shop around for with any training company. That is because we are aware that every company is different and that routine jobs are not what you are looking for. So: no time-worn concepts, no newly-graduated trainers, no armchair learning. But we do offer training projects that focus on your company objectives. Wordly and realistic. And tailor-made.
