Our Story
Our Story
We've all been part of it before: one to three day retreats or seminars where we hear the latest buzz words and catch phrases that'll make everyone better and everything run smoother. And then...nothing changes and it's a waste of everyone’s time and your money. It becomes “scrap Learning” – learning that is delivered but not applied back to the job. At Bottom Line Institute we've changed the traditional executive development and workforce training programs into something that really impacts performance, customer value and your bottom line.
