Frequently Asked Questions

What is the training process?

After our discovery session, we will have an intake meeting so you can share more about the objectives for the training. Then we will share with you our approach and make sure we’re hitting the marks you believe we need. If it’s an in-person or virtual training session, there will be interaction, which usually includes breakout sessions and dialogue to engage the learners and encourage their input and perspectives. Once the training is over, we conduct a quick survey and have a debrief session with you to help you come up with some next steps.

Why is there a limit on the number of learners per session?

In our experience, we believe this is the number that allows for the most successful facilitation and where the learners feel the most comfortable. The number can be lower, but if the number goes higher, it causes the session to feel overwhelming, and you may not have the participation or attention you’d like. Especially for sessions that are interactive, it becomes challenging when there are too many in one group. If you have more participants, we can do multiple sessions or have multiple facilitators for additional fees.

What is the facilitator’s background?

Our Exude Human Capital facilitators have very diverse backgrounds, having worked in many different industries, levels, and sizes of companies. They’ve facilitated all different topics and organizations, bringing with them expertise and experience that allows them to share best practices with our clients. Our facilitators will create a safe and engaging space for the learners while giving them tools they can start using right away.

What types of companies will Exude support?

Any industry, including but not limited to professional services, social services, education, bio/pharma, technology, healthcare, hospitality, entertainment, communications, manufacturing, associations, finance, and construction. We work across any industry in both for-profit and non-profit sectors in the US, regardless of size.
