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. This network allows CTS to handle almost any size project easily. 

CTS’s Internet presence also allows us to be in constant contact with human resource development experts around the globe, so we can exchange viewpoints and keep up with the latest management research and discoveries.

CTS is a results-oriented company focused on improving organizational effectiveness. Therefore, we work collaboratively with our clients to help them realize their goals. Most of our client partnerships involve custom-designing and delivering training to meet specific performance objectives.

But Jeanne also facilitates teambuilding retreats as well as problem-solving, idea-generating discussions. She has even designed, organized and carried out “Office Olympics” competitions!

You can count on us to be honest. If your human resource problem will be better solved via counseling or mediation, for example, we’ll be happy to refer you to an appropriate source. Your success is our first concern.

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 organization effectiveness.

All CTS training programs listed in our packet have been developed as a direct response to needs expressed by our clients. You are invited to offer them as stand-alone sessions or as modules in a set. They are all established “winners” which other clients have found very beneficial.

However, our commitment to exceptional service means that we are happy to tailor a program to fit your needs. By listening a lot and talking a little, we’re able to design a training program that meets your budget, time constraints, and performance objectives. In other words, we design it to meet the challenges unique to your organization.

We’ll 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.

Yes. It’s much more! Cutting-edge information... a creative mix of many methods... a learner-centered commitment... 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 training provider.

Participants stay engaged via group discussion, role playing, demonstration, games, discovery exercises, and profiles. They also learn via newly released videos. We maintain a large library of the latest videos featuring nationally known business leaders and companies, and we are delighted to share them with your organization at no additional cost.

Another way our training is more substantive than a seminar is our attention to skills transfer. We guide 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 and her healthy doses of humor keep participants’ attention; her enthusiasm and her sincere interest in participants moves them toward commitment.

Jeanne Baer has authored several training designs and courses which have been published nationally by McGraw Hill and Pfeiffer and Company, 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.

Finally, we’re in contact with hundreds of companies which supply nationally recognized training products, and we make it a point to “test drive” the best of these offerings. When we believe your goals would be best served by one of these workbooks or instruments, we’ll be happy to make a recommendation.

Definitely! We offer “train the trainer” certification programs in several areas. Just ask for details.
