About enlighten
Every year we all start off inspired and driven, but after several months we can find ourselves feeling unmotivated and desperate for a SPARK.
Enlighten was born from the need for a mid-year reignition. The brainchild of administrative training legend Joan Burge, Founder and CEO of Office Dynamics — this multi-track, live, virtual training experience will teach you the skills you need to help you make good on your goals and finish the year STRONG.
Only Enlighten combines tech skills with the must-have power skills – what we used to call “soft skills” – that you need to THRIVE in today’s rapidly evolving work environment.
Enlighten provides a two-track approach that allows you to follow one track for an in-depth, wide-ranging view of a specific set of skills OR mix and match sessions from each track. Either way, you’ll get to enjoy the recordings from BOTH tracks so that you WON’T MISS A THING.
Our interactive virtual format lets you develop and sharpen your skills from the comfort of your office or home while also providing powerful networking opportunities. Enlighten 2023 is the BEST of BOTH worlds!
