At Breakthrough Corporate Training, one of the most rewarding parts of what we do is hearing from participants months after a workshop—especially when they share how their goals are coming to life. That’s exactly what happened when Kyra Blake, a recruiter in the JavaScript and Python space, shared a post marking the start of [...]
I didn’t expect to write a leadership post today. But when I heard about the passing of Hulk Hogan, it stopped me. Like a lot of kids who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, I spent Saturday mornings glued to the TV, watching this larger-than-life figure take over the wrestling ring. It was [...]
Picture this workplace scenario: Marcus walks into Sarah's office with a clear agenda. He's got three critical decisions that need to be made before the 2 PM deadline. His approach is direct: "Sarah, I need your input on the budget allocation, vendor selection, and timeline approval. Can we get through [...]

Just a few days ago, Nicole and I bought a new car. What could have been a routine transaction turned out to be something far more meaningful—a genuinely great experience. We visited Suttons Mitsubishi Chullora, and from the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and energy by Shadi Farhat, the Sales Manager. [...]
We recently had the opportunity to work with the leadership team at Mister Minit during their Leadership Retreat, delivering our Resilience and Well-being Workshop. The session which I led focused on one core belief: resilience isn’t something you’re simply born with—it’s something you can build. The Power of the Predictive 6 Factor Resilience Assessment [...]
We recently delivered our Life Languages Communication Breakthrough Program to multiple teams at Olvera Advisors in Sydney. Their experience was a clear reminder: when teams understand and appreciate each other’s communication styles, they don’t just function better—they thrive.
