How do you prefer to learn?

Not everyone learns the same way nor can all subjects be taught in the same manner.

While many people focus on university education there are others who are interested in the trades. While some subjects are taught in a lecture hall, others required a hands on approach. Some require both.

Once formal education is complete the learning has only just begun as experience is the other side of the coin.

Moving on to learing environments, while classrooms, labs, and tradeshops are common, so has become online courses, virtual classrooms, and books including digital and audio.

Forward Looking Solutions is combining formal education and experience in accounting, human resources, engineering, and emergency services to provide clients with a unique approach to problem solving. Although we are certainly available for in-person training both in the class and remote, we are also providing online courses, books, and guides. We are excited to announce we are currently in the process of converting our current material into audiobooks the first of which should be complete by the end of the month.

What subjects would you like to see us address, and what is your prefered format for learning?

(Napoleon) One of the biggest obstacles in achieving our goals is ourselves; regardless of what happens around us, we have the ability to step around it and move forward. If you have a dream, make your plan, put it in place, and make it happen. And remember, don’t be afraid to ask for help! Being an entrepreneur is not easy; you start with a good idea, gather financing, put it in place, and then hope for the best... right? Wrong! I...

Illusion of Democracy

“In leadership theory they talk about authoritative, participative, and free-rein styles.” “What are those Isaac?” “Authoritative is when the boss makes all the decisions.” “Like the Military.” “That’s right Melissa, because in combat, there’s no time for debate.” “And the others?” “Participative is where there is discussion amongst the team to find a solution to a problem, but in the end, the leader must still make the final decision.” “Sounds reasonable.” “And then there’s Free-Rein; this is where there is no formal leadership, and everyone does what they please.” “I can’t see that working Isaac.” “Actually Melissa, I have seen this work.” “Where?” “I was on a Search and Rescue team and when we returned from a call, there were many tasks to do; this included washing trucks, cleaning equipment, sweeping and mopping the bays.” “And.” “Well Melissa, the members all knew what had to be done, and each person had their preferred task, they just went and did it without being assigned ...
