About
We support small and large organizations, meeting them where they are: the one or two-person HR team who is responsible for learning with limited resources accesses the same quality of consulting from us as the talent development team with greater reach. We freely share our knowledge and expertise. In essence: we practice what we ‘teach.’
We offer a comprehensive library of off-the-shelf programs (more than 50) to develop supervisors, managers, individual contributors, teams, sales and HR and training professionals. For those that need tailored solutions, we have strong instructional design capabilities—with the ability to build experiential activities, simulations, workshops, distance learning and support tools.
Our network of facilitators is second-to-none, with an average of 15 years of facilitation experience, expansive certifications, vast industry-specific knowledge and the ability to deliver in any of more than 11 languages. These consultants facilitate groups of 6 to 200, in person and across distance, including participants from individual contributor level up to executives, on topics such as communication, leadership, management, innovation, change management, sales, working virtually, cross-cultural competence, dealing with difficult situations, performance management, coaching and much more.
We offer assessments that can be used in coaching, training programs, team building events and selection including Interaction Style profiles, 360 inventories, Harrison Assessments, eQi, DiSC, Hogan, Insights Discovery and more.

SHANE KANARA - PROGRAM COORDINATOR
Our friend and colleague Shane Kanara passed away on April 1, 2024, after a brief illness.
Shane joined PPS on January 9, 2023, and made quite an impact in his time here. He was always quick to help, had a ‘can do’ attitude and was ever willing to learn. Shane had a steady and calming manner and a quirky sense of humor that lightened the load for us, especially during times of pressure. He will be greatly missed.
