Listing of IMA Members Who Are
Mentoring Trainers & Consultants
INDEX:
Many of the IMA members are very experienced within their own programs as trainers
and facilitators. However, some of these have additional (more or less) experience
in conducting trainings and consulting in other organizations as well. Of course,
the more diverse a person's experience is, the greater can be their insights into
best practices beyond their own setting.
Please note that the companies and contacts provided
in this listing are NOT endorsed by IMA, nor has the effectiveness of their work,
nor their credentials been checked prior to adding them to this listing.
You should always inquire into anyone's range of
experience to decide if what they have learned is what YOU need to learn. You should
always carefully select, interview, and check references for any one, any time before
you employ them to do any work for you. Consultants understand this need and are
glad to provide what you request.
To demonstrate IMA's impartiality, the listing is alphabetical
by company name.
