P.A Douglas Training has been working alongside North American office professionals since 1975. 

Recognized as North America’s Leader in managerial and administrative training & professional development, P.A. Douglas training is focusing specifically on strengthening your organization to help build a happy, healthy, motivated team as we shift out of these uncertain times.

Our programs cover different areas of working with others and self-management, specifically; emotional intelligence, working with difficult people, stress management, (with a strong emphasis on maintaining a healthy work-life balance during these difficult times), time management, influence, and memory improvement.

Charles Darwin once said- “It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive, but those who can best manage change.” There is such a strong emphasis on hiring based on technical abilities, which is very important, however, it is the absence of soft skills, such as the ability to work well with others, having patience, having empathy, or lacking any other aspect of emotional intelligence that leads to failure in the workplace. Higher emotional intelligence (EQ) has been proven to increase productivity, strengthen relationships, and perhaps most importantly during these times, reduce stress within the team. Roughly 80% of millennials today are motivated by the emotional intelligence of their leaders to help their companies succeed.
