We’re excited to introduce an innovative new concept we have created to meet your training and development needs.  The ProFound Business Enrichment Consortium offers top-tier trainings in a group setting on a monthly basis at a great price.

Designed for small to mid-sized businesses in the Northwest Arkansas area, the Consortium  offers three primary benefits:

• Relevant, business-impacting trainings that will help develop and motivate your employees;
• A  powerful network of professionals who are looking to grow their own skills as well as find solutions for their workplace;
• Engaging and experienced trainers who will ensure each monthly session is valuable and applicable.

All of this comes at a significant value.  Because by sharing the costs of training with other companies, each company gets the same training experience at a much reduced price.

You can also join the Consortium now by clicking here. Special discounts are available for those who join by August 15! Classes start in September.

Jan. 20, 2009, was marked with history when the 44th President of the United States took office. The entire world watched with anticipation and hope as President Obama waved to the record-breaking crowd gathered at the National Mall and delivered his inaugural address.

As a communication professional and a young adult, I listened intently to the words and phrases spoken by President Obama. At that moment I realized the true power of the spoken word and how we as communicators can learn from the commander in chief.

• When speaking, choose each word with purpose. His words were carefully chosen and deliberately spoken to precisely convey the messages he wanted his fellow countrymen to hear.
• Speak with passion and emotion. Simply by listening to the tone of his voice and the passion that was behind each word, I felt hope for the future, pride for my country and a realization that from now on American history will take on a different meaning for all.

As technology advances and electronic forms of communication grow rapidly, communicators must still remember the advantages of speech. Today, as seen in this historic moment, we can understand the true value of language.
