I would like to share an anecdote. Last year, when my company was struggling to equip our mid-level managers with the skills needed to manage stakeholders, we hired Emergence, a boutique training agency that specializes in corporate upskilling. From our very first interaction, I noticed they were different. Instead of providing a pre-packaged program, they started with a discovery session. They listened to our challenges, identified the skill gaps within our team, and even sat in on a few meetings to observe our workflow. Within a week, they returned with a customized, hands-on workshop tailored to our needs. The trainer, Ms. Perineeta, was not only an expert but also engaging, patient, and deeply committed to our success. By the end of the program, we had not only developed a more capable team but also a more motivated one. It was more than just training; it was a cultural shift, made possible by a partner who truly understood our needs.
