MOHR Ideas at work.
Our work takes us all over the world. And we learn a lot as we train. Today, there’s no reason to wait until we’re back at home base to pass on a good idea or highlight a trend. Here’s where you’ll find them as soon as we spot them.
Corporate Values? Add this one…
Recently a participant in one of our sessions said that she learned as much from all the mistakes she’s made on the job as she has from doing things right. That got me thinking. She’d been in the organization, a national retailer with 1,000s of stores, for a long time and was recently promoted to…
Graphic Recording
Actually, Janet Schatzman of Schatzman Associates had an amazing answer; Graphic Recording. In real-time, as Janet listened to our discussions and meeting she drew and recorded key points and “mapped out” the past, present, and future for all of us to see.

Learning upon learning
We train literally thousands of managers, DMs, Buyers, and Home Office supervisors each year.

Trust the Process
We’re a training and consulting company by industry type but in fact what we do in our sessions is facilitate the learning and in some ways change. We have a proven process for certifying others to do what we do. They do it differently than we do. They do it with their own experiences and…
Retail Hero
A few weeks ago we received a request from a retailer about our Retail Leadership programs. We followed up as usual with the information requested. This morning around 9:15am we got a call from this client. He was calling from Cairo…Egypt not Indiana (where they pronounce it Kay-Roh). We had a productive conversation about the…
DiSC Style Group Reports provide a key insight
Our personal style influences many if not all of our decisions and many interactions with others. When a retailer is able to pull group reports of intact teams at the Support Center or of the field management team—e.g., DMs, regions, store groups—they gain incredibly valuable insight about not only the group style but what motivates this…
