HRPA Annual Conference Just Around the Corner!

Celebrating the Holidays

Excel Thru Learning is celebrating the holidays! And what better way to kick off the new year than by finishing the old with a Tacky Shirt Contest.

In the spirit of bangles, bells, glitter and ribbon - Excel Thru Learning thanks you for a fabulous 2011. We look forward to seeing you in 2012. 

Have a Merry Christmas!

Finding Spirit

Fun, laughter, signs of happiness; where have these gone?  Sometimes we get so focused on results we forget to enjoy the pathway that gets us there.  ETL has always had fun at work.  We laugh a lot, share personal stories, bring our pets to work and in general enjoy what we do.  We work hard for our customers, for each other and regularly give back to our community.  But even we have, in the past couple of years, been dragged into thinking it’s all about the results.  We know this isn’t true, and once again it has just been proven.

While reminiscing, Laurie in our office remembered when we used to wear Santa hats when we delivered our homemade cookies.  (Yes, our best clients receive a small tin of homemade cookies that I personally bake).  In those days we looked forward to doing the deliveries and everyone participated.  This December we fell into the trap of individuals doing the deliveries alone and feeling very much isolated and frustrated.  That’s about to change!  Santa hats are being purchased today and starting tomorrow teams will be delivering cookies wearing them.  Christmas music will be playing on the radios and everyone will have a chance to get out and bring cheer to our clients.

Fun, laughter and signs of happiness are all returning to ETL.  What about at your organization?

News and Events Has Been Missing...

Time can be managed, and priorities can be set, but in the end, if you don't sit down to do something, it just never gets done. And accomplishments (or lack thereof) are as simple as that.

That is why, in my simple confession, this section has fallen poorly out of date. I did not set out and accomplish what I had wanted to when we began this ongoing news and events section. Today, on November 21, 2011, I will remedy the situation. Here is the first post of many to come.

Stay tuned! ETL has a lot up its sleeve.

Thank you for your patience

HRPA Conference, Feb 2 -4, 2011

We are back once again exhibiting at the HRPA annual conference. This year we can be found at booth 705.

This is a wonderful opportunity for both those who already know us, and those we have yet to meet to stop by and chat with the entire ETL Team! We are looking forward to answering any and all training and development questions you may have.

Don't Miss This!

We will once again be playing our dice game with a change to win a free Time Management Self Study Guide (all you have to do is roll a 7, 11, or doubles - yes it's that easy!).

We'll be seeing you there - The ETL Team
