Company Overview
Ocean Beach Consulting works with organizations to develop their human capital. Through Talent Development initiatives, we partner with our clients to produce improved performance results. We also partner with a high-quality network of instructional and graphic designers, facilitators, executive coaches, as well as digital media and print production resources to fulfill our clients’ custom needs.
We focus on making a difference for our most important customers – the participants themselves. Our areas of expertise are leadership and communication skill development, and we deliver integrated solutions that create positive change. Our goal is to always go beyond the “one and done” classroom experience.
Changing behavior requires gaining new knowledge and skills, consistently applying them to situations that matter, and getting feedback on the positive impact of the new behavior. While gaining new knowledge and skills can come from a training session, application and feedback has to occur back on the job for the new behavior to stick. Starting with the participants’ real world goals, we develop solutions that engage them in dynamic experiences that provide them with new knowledge relevant to their challenge and support them in following through with the application of their new knowledge. This is what builds capability!
