Cutting Edge Success at Work training videos are designed to provoke discussion and response. Contemporary, fast paced, short and character driven, these courses take an innovative approach to reaching today's learners.

Psychological Rationale to Learning

The producer, notable psychologist Eve Ash, has created this specific and comedic approach to engage today’s learners who live in an age of media saturation; a generation that increasingly reports feeling uninspired, unchallenged and bored by traditional and outdated training approaches. Eve’s primary concern was to create a series that people would want to reference when faced when similar situations as learners progress through their working lives. She had the goal of shared insight and a series that would leave viewers wanting more.

While some find them insensitive or even outrageous, the vast majority of viewers and participants have found them to be refreshing, stimulating and ideal for injecting energy and enthusiasm back into learning.
