Our “sweet spot” is designing and facilitating highly customized management/leadership training programs. We’ve developed training programs in over 25 different content areas. The workshops have been presented in a variety of forms: from half or full-day modules to comprehensive training curriculums, from webinars to classroom workshops, and from off-sites with intact teams to open enrollment programs that are part of a corporate university.

We are passionate about increasing an organization’s leadership capabilities by bringing out the best in the managers/leaders that attend our workshops.

Building strong collaborative relationships with our clients is at the cornerstone of our consulting practice. We consistently give our clients our “A game” in the pursuit of excellence every day and with every workshop.

What’s the significance of the name “Spotlight Consulting?”

For starters, Craig wanted a name that reflected the pizzazz and theatrical flair in which he approaches each training workshop. “Spotlight” was a perfect fit in that it served as a metaphor for his belief that training should be learner-centered and the spotlight needs to be on the participants who attend the workshop – a spotlight on their learning, and a spotlight on their issues, challenges and needs.
