Meet Some of Our Facilitators

  • So Well Done!“This is one of the best courses I've taken in a long time. Honestly, I loved all of it. There was no "filler" or fluff that wasn't specific to the course. Loved Persimmon's facilitation skills and affirmation of all attendees viewpoints. So well done.”Sam D.Williams Companies
  • Impactful.“I love that the same concepts can be used by people from different industries, education or experience, with such diverse job titles and on an endless amount of short or long-term projects. Thank you so much!”Ria P.CAP Tulsa
  • Helped Me Get Unstuck.“I often get caught in the "deal bunker" as we say in banking—where you're so worried about the ins and outs of a deal and execution that you forget to do business development or other strategic parts of your job that must continue no matter how busy you are. This class will help my business grow!”Victoria A.Bank of Texas
  • Loved It All.“It is amazing what we don't know. I think that training like this should be a must with anyone who struggles with Emotional Intelligence. I truly enjoyed this course and wish it had been longer!”Stacey G.Hub International
  • Warm and Inclusive.“The class atmosphere was so inclusive! I often attend classes and don't have a sense of belonging, but did not experience that with this class. It was interactive rather than a lecture. Our instructor knew when to let us discuss ideas vs. "instructing" us. Persimmon knocked it out of the park!”MarShondria A. Lynn, Jackson, Schultz & Lebrun, P.C.

FAQ’S

What is a virtual Persimmon event like?2021-08-27T18:21:38-05:00

We know you’ll love our virtual learning experiences! Just like a physical classroom, you’ll see and speak to your instructor, participate in discussions and small group activities, and follow along in a writable PDF workbook so you can take notes and reference them later.

Your instructor will also be available to you between sessions and after the course to answer questions, PLUS you’ll get access to electronic copies of all the documents we recommend you use to keep your projects on track.

Do you offer custom training?2021-08-27T18:28:40-05:00

Yes!  Persimmon realizes not every organization is the same. That is why we will work with you to build custom courses that address your unique needs with our content modules.

What platform do you use for virtual courses?2021-08-27T18:20:33-05:00

The Persimmon Group uses Zoom for all learning events, with multiple security protocols in place to ensure a safe and private event. Zoom allows you to participate on the web (without downloading additional software) if desired.
