At ADVANCE, we know that not all classrooms have four walls! We believe the world is our classroom and that learning is meant to be fun, engaging and thought provoking.

Leadership matters and leadership development builds teams! 

That’s a fact! Luckily, it is a skill that can be trained, and it is the ultimate unifier in bringing a diverse set of thinking across a “team of teams” together for a common purpose!  One of our most popular leadership development trainings is called the Shackleton Series where we leverage the hard lessons learned from the famed polar explorer Ernest Shackleton!  This is a training you will not want to miss nor will you forget it anytime soon, and it will be speaking to you for years to come! 

We do not believe in boring!
