Creative Training Solutions was founded in 1990 with a simple but powerful focus: “Developing your employees’ skills today to meet your organization’s goals tomorrow.” Our services are designed to develop the interpersonal and managerial skills that can make continuous innovation and improvement a reality. We work with organizations of all sizes, to build capabilities for leadership, creativity, communication, teamwork, and other vital skills.

A small but cutting-edge company, CTS is proud to be flexible, friendly, and focused on your success. We offer personalized, professional service and results.

Creative Training Solutions is a company small enough to give you dedicated, attentive service, and large enough to meet your needs.

Jeanne Baer, the president of CTS, has chosen to keep the company small so it can remain responsive and adaptable. Jeanne has worked on projects with a national and even international scope over the last two decades and is thus able to call upon a worldwide community of associates—independent consultants who are specialists in their respective fields. 

We believe when individuals and teams reach their highest potential, they contribute significantly to the organization’s strategic goals and profitability. Therefore, our performance-based programs are designed to develop individual, team, and organizational effectiveness.

All CTS training programs and presentations have been developed over a 20-year period as a direct response to the real-world needs of our clients. They are all established “winners” which organizations have found very beneficial. However, our commitment to exceptional service means that we are happy to customize a program to fit your organization's own unique challenges. You are invited to offer these presentaions and programs as stand-alone sessions or as modules in a longer set.

We can also recommend ways to ensure that “transfer” of training occurs, so that the “skills built” become the “skills used” on a day-to-day basis.

When conducting training, we use the best in accelerated learning techniques, allowing participants to learn quickly and retain concepts and skills well.

Cutting-edge information... a creative mix of many methods... immediately usable techniques and strategies... adequate time for questions, reflection, and practice... a passion for training ... these practices combine to make CTS a truly distinctive provider of training and conference presentations and keynotes.

Participants stay engaged via group discussion, role playing, demonstration, discovery exercises, insightful profiles, fascinating video clips, and more.

We also focus on skills transfer, by guiding participants through the process of:

 discovering how they can best apply newly mastered skills and material, and

 making an action plan to improve performance, and committing to their plan,

so that their learning can quickly translate to tangible behavior and bottom-line results.

And as a dividend, CTS training is also fun! We firmly believe, “When tension goes up, retention goes down.” Jeanne Baer’s lively lecture style, her healthy doses of humor, and her insightful anecdotes keep participants’ attention; her enthusiasm and her sincere interest in participants moves them toward commitment.

Jeanne has authored many training designs and courses which have been published by McGraw Hill, Pfeiffer International, ASTD, and others, so you’ll be assured of superior material for your own participants.

And you can be sure it’s as engaging and “user-friendly” as the training program itself is, thanks to CTS’s considerable publication design expertise and desktop publishing capabilities.

Once again, materials are tailored to meet your special needs. Workbooks for a one day course are packed with 40-50 pages of good-for-future-reference tips and techniques. These workbooks can be simply or elaborately printed and bound, as you request. We can also provide certificates of completion and “job-aid” reminder cards.
