Services

Our services enable us to bring our vision to life. Rightfully so, we are committed to the best execution possible. We set high standards, but stay fluid so we can innovate the most efficient methods to reach desired outcomes. We offer services that can stand alone, as events and programs, or link together to create a comprehensive “improvement plan” for you and your organization.

Classroom Style Training

Though classroom style training has been around forever, our version is anything but traditional. The main difference is found in our trainers who are all real world practitioners. They are simply exceptional in their ability to connect with participants, leverage humor to create a relaxed setting, and bring concepts to easily digestible understanding through anecdotes and personal testimonies. Additionally, many of our courses involve hands-on exercises to engage more senses and solidify learning objectives.

We pride ourselves in precise planning and diligent execution of all training. Every detail is accounted for to ensure participants have the best possible experience and that they leave with practical knowledge they can apply immediately to their lives.

Experiential Events

Learning can take place anywhere so we like to push the boundaries a bit. We’ve found that hands-on experiential events in the “field” are an innovative way to teach in an atmosphere that is memorable for the participants. The smell of the air, the sights and sounds, the feeling of the conditions, all contribute to each unforgettable experience.

Cohesion is an element that is often missed while building a team. The very best teams have an inseparable bond between the members. Sure, bonds can form over time, but we prefer to hasten the process. Teams are formed on paper, but are forged in adversity. Several of our immersive experiential events offer a substantial team building component through something we call “controlled adversity”. The result is near instant cohesion, a foundation to build upon.

Team Building by Orienteering (TBO) pits team against team in a race to find as many geographic locations as possible within a set time limit. Aside from forging deep team cohesion, TBO provides the ultimate growth in planning, strategy, execution, teamwork, competitive spirit, and more! TBO is available for almost any urban or rural environment!

  • "My biggest challenge with my current assignment was to reconnect a team that had lost its cohesion. Based on an enthusiastic referral, I contacted Kris at Diligent Plans for help with the situation. I couldn’t be happier with the results of the full day team building event that he led us through. Now, my team is highly motivated and much more synchronized!"

  • "I was looking for a team-building training that would engage my whole team – an event that could have an impact beyond the actual training day. I was referred to Kris Yagel at Diligent Plans. I met with Kris to discuss my goals and then allowed Kris to develop the training event. I was very pleased with what we learned as a team, and indeed, the team ended the day with ideas that we can carry forward in our work. Kris was warm and personable, and could easily relate to the team. Kris was very professional, and held the team’s attention throughout the event. It was a great experience and I look forward to working with Kris Yagel and Diligent Plans again!"
