Business Courses for Busy Professionals
Learn the skills you need to thrive at work
You need many skills to successfully navigate a career in business, no matter your role. Giving a powerful presentation to obtain the budget for a project, communicating effectively with various team members and managers, or handling a high workload despite your concentration issues: Any of these situations can generate stress, frustration, and overwhelm—especially when your professional training didn’t prepare you for it.
Key employees such as newly appointed managers, executive assistants, and back-office employees may excel at their specific tasks but often lack skills that would enable them to shine. And to help their whole department run smoothly.
Business skills courses shouldn’t be reserved for leadership roles because every employee has a role to play. Every employee can ultimately impact the success of a team, positively or negatively. That’s why I created programs designed specifically for these unsung heroes who are so much more than simple cogs in the system.
Upscale your business skills thanks to stimulating courses.
Using my background in psychology, training, and adult learning, I design courses providing tangible results. I combine solid theoretical knowledge with a practical, fun, and energizing approach.
Ahead of the course, I perform a needs analysis to design a program that answers the specific needs of my students. Then, during the training, I adapt to the learning style of the people in front of me. So, there’s no sitting through boring, droning lectures in my classroom! Instead, I keep my students engaged and make sure they take home practical advice that will help them now.

If you feel scattered and chaotic, always racing to meet deadlines and feeling constantly overwhelmed, then it’s time to hit pause. Discover the secret to regaining focus and control now.
Powerful Presenting for the Quiet Ones
When you speak, everyone listens
Presenting slides to an audience is one thing. Sharing a powerful message in a way that captures your audience’s attention is another. These are two sides of a coin—giving a presentation. But with very different outcomes. Sharing slides may prove fruitless, whereas sharing a compelling message will attract the attention of that director whose help you seek, or will grant you the budget you need.
We’re rarely taught how to give presentations. It’s something we simply have to do. And for introverts, it can be a crippling experience akin to hell on earth. But it doesn’t have to be. Being a good presenter isn’t reserved for extroverts. You need to develop a few skills and learn some techniques, and your fear of the spotlight will vanish.
It requires some work and support. And that’s where my Powerful Presenting for the Quiet Ones program comes in.

Who is it for?
This program is for those who work in the corporate world and aren’t natural-born presenters. It’s for introverts, the quiet ones who prefer to get the job done and would rather not have to present. It’s especially beneficial to:

Emotional Intelligence for Your Office Heroes
Work smarter by working together
Assistants and admin specialists are the unsung heroes of the business world. They quietly work in the background, enabling the movers and shakers to do the client-facing work. To do well, they must constantly adapt to the personalities and needs of the people they support. They need excellent interpersonal skills—something they’ve usually not been trained in.
So they’re puzzled by that director who never seems happy with their work despite their best efforts. Or by that manager who’s not getting back to them with the information they need. Misunderstandings and miscommunications abound. Frustration and stress build up. Relationships suffer, and the overall team performance takes a hit.
This is precisely why I offer the Emotional Intelligence for Your Office Heroes program. To help the quiet achievers acquire the understanding and tools they need to manage their managers!
How does it work?
Who is it for?
This course is for support staff who are required to juggle different needs, priorities, and demands without losing their cool. It’s ideal for:
The outcomes
“In the training room, Jacinta has immense knowledge. The experiences she has had in her life (as well as those that have been shared with her through years of training and coaching) are so very real to her that she can bring them into a training whenever and however she needs to, to help people find the ‘click’ that makes things fit together for them. Trainees trust her and respect her. They ask for her advice and ideas. They want to hear her experiences and how she deals with issues. Trainees leave a course knowing they have been heard and helped.”
Overcoming Overwhelm for the Distracted Ones
Work with focus and thrive
We live in a world where being constantly bombarded with information and ideas is the norm. A world where there’s a constant push to do more. A world where there’s a constant urge to go faster. At work, it means endless to-do lists, tight deadlines, and calendars filled with meetings.
In a competitive workplace, taking on too much, spreading yourself thin, and saying yes to new projects you have no time for is tempting. But not realistic. Because it creates stress and overwhelm and can ultimately lead to burnout—the bane of modern companies.
In a world of constant distraction, the ability to focus and prioritize is key. Because when your focus is strong, you’ll feel less overwhelmed and more in control of your workload. This is precisely what my Overcoming Overwhelm for the Distracted Ones program sets out to help your staff do.
