The live instruction made complex topics clear and engaging\, helping me understand how to think like a strategic HR leader rather than just memorize content. David's teaching style made it easy to stay focused and motivated through some very dense material. \n \nThe practice exams were absolutely essential. They didn’t just help me study\, they trained me to think critically\, spot traps\, and approach each question from a strategic perspective. I went into the exam confident and prepared because I had already practiced at that level. \n \nAnd of course\, David’s Seven Princes framework tied everything together. That model helped me truly grasp the mindset and competencies the SPHR exam is built around. It’s not about being tactical\, it’s about thinking like a strategy driven HR Pro. The Seven Princes kept me grounded in that mindset throughout my studies and during the exam itself. \n \nIf you're serious about passing the SPHR\, I cannot recommend this course highly enough. It's more than just prep; it's a full reframe of how you approach HR leadership." \nHannah Royal\, SPHR\, CPSP – HR Generalist  \n \n“I absolutely LOVED this web-based PHR/SPHR Certification Study Course. It was so convenient for my busy work schedule\, I could attend class at work or home. I have taken the “traditional” SHRM 12 week course years ago and talk about boring lectures. David’s prep course is hands down the best. I have recommended his prep material and now his web-based study course to all HR professionals seeking to slay the beast! Thanks again for your passion in helping the HR profession!” \nTammy Schmitt – HR Manager – CertainTeed Corp \n \n"It didn’t take long for me to realize that the benefits of your program extend far beyond simply being ready for the test. The variety of learning methods – audio CDs\, on-line sample tests and games\, flash cards\, and study manual – was a tremendous help in absorbing an overwhelming amount of information. I especially appreciate the test taking tips! And our classroom lectures not only prepared me for the exam\, but truly got me engaged in all aspects of Human Resources. I’ll miss the weekly opportunities to get your professional input and to discuss current HR topics with colleagues." \nLaura Tomanelli\, SPHR – Human Resources Generalist – Village of Pinehurst \n \n"I cannot say enough about the comprehensive PHR prep course presented by Distinctive HR through CAI. David Siler’s exceptionally prepared lectures and materials covered every base in my exam prep and increased my confidence ten-fold. The study materials\, in addition to the classes\, enabled an ‘old’ student\, to successfully complete a very intimidating exam. I would highly recommend this course as the best preparation around!" \nNancy M. Rodgers\, PHR – HR Manager – Rural Health Group\, Inc. \n \n————————————————- \nThe HR Certification Institute® (HRCI®) does not endorse any particular preparation program or offering.

This is what becoming a Totally Responsible Person is all about. \n \nTotally Responsible Person® TRP® training is based on the belief that everyone has a contribution to make. So often we are looking outside ourselves for happiness\, waiting for permission to be great\, and believing that someone else is going to make the changes we want to see. \n \nTRP training is a fast-paced\, highly interactive program that results in increased self-awareness\, clearer decision making\, and greater satisfaction and well-being in the workplace and at home. Through inspiring individuals to be their very best\, TRP solves issues like: \n \n\nADDRESSING CHALLENGES: Many times\, we shy away from addressing problems for fear of failure or see challenges as something to be avoided. The mindset that looks on setbacks as opportunities to bounce back is what cultivates a spirit of resiliency.\nAVOIDING ACCOUNTABILITY: Defensiveness can lead to a lack of cooperation and accountability. How much faster can we bring our product to market when we are accountable to one another? How much more efficient are our services? How much more satisfied are our team members and associates\nCHOOSING COURAGE: Business is filled with everyday moments that when recognized\, are powerful moments of choice born by courageous conversation. Will your next interaction be an opportunity to create and to inspire? \n\nWho Should Attend \nThis workshop is effective for all levels within the organization. Designed for individual contributors\, supervisors\, managers\, and leaders. Anyone who wants to lead others or manage one’s own professional and personal life more effectively will benefit from this course.  \n \nLearning Objectives \nAt the end of this course\, participants will be able to: \n\nEnhance and examine awareness of our thinking and mindset that leaves us “stuck.”\nDiscuss and practice how to apply the TRP mindset.\nIdentify ways to bring out the best in others by not criticizing or judging.\nDiscern between the behaviors of rescuing\, enabling\, empowerment\, and empathy.\nGive and receive the gift of feedback.\nUnderstand the importance of purpose and meaning to focus and manage our emotions. \n\n\n\nReady to Advance Your Career?\nJoin professionals across the Carolinas who trust Catapult for professional development. \nRegister Now →\n​
