DUKE PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
CORPORATE TRAINING AND PRESENTATIONS



INTRODUCTION

 People are your company's greatest resource. In today's demanding work environment, businesses are most successful when their employees have the skills to both manage appropriately the technical demands of their job, and to excel at interacting with others, whether external customers, internal customers, subordinates, or co-workers. Additionally, an employee who is able to manage the challenges of personal and family life effectively will be able to devote more energy towards meeting the needs of the organization.

Duke Professional and Personal Development Program (PPDP) works with companies to assess the specific challenges their employees face, and to create people-focused solutions to those challenges. W provide customized services tailored to the individual needs of the organization and its employees. Our services include consultation for managers, interactive trainings for groups, individual coaching, as well as formal and informal presentations on a wide range of topics.

Listed below are some of the most popular seminar topics that organizations have requested from Duke PPDP. Most seminars can be offered in a one-hour, brown-bag lunch format.
