Training Details

Fill your group training with as many attendees as you'd like for one low price! Depending on the topic and your team's needs, we will provide one or two presenters from the J.Marie & Associates team.

  • Our standard virtual trainings include 60 minutes of prepared course material with an additional 30 minutes of Q&A included at no additional charge. Attendees who are pressed for time can get the essential content in 60 minutes, but our presenters will stay for another half hour of dialogue and Q&A to deepen participants' connection with the material. We encourage attendees to "bring a problem with you" so we can help you apply the class concepts to your real world issues, ensuring you walk away with a set of strategies and applicable next steps.

  • Virtual trainings are live-facilitated on Zoom or the platform of your choice.

    In-person trainings are arranged on a case-by-case basis depending on your location and the instructor’s availability. Please contact us for more information.

  • Pricing varies depending on the training. Please reach out to us to learn more.

    Discounts for Small Organizations: Small organizations always save 20%. This includes:

    • School districts with fewer than 2,000 FTE students.

    • Associations, nonprofits, and public organizations with 8 or fewer staff.

    Bottom line: We never want a team to go without this training due to budgetary constraints, so we also offer a sliding scale upon request. Please reach out to discuss this option.

  • All of the classes listed in our course catalog can be mixed, matched, and customized to fit your particular needs. We are often brought in to provide customized training that blends into facilitation of work sessions, strategic planning, or team meetings. Reach out to discuss details.

  • Once you've found a course you'd like to bring to your group, fill out the Contact Us form. We’ll reach out to get the training scheduled for a day and time that works well for your group.
