Making Memories at the Lake
We are smack dab in the middle of our sixth summer at the lake, piling on the memories and the sunscreen. Having a place outside the office to bond with family and friends gives me added purpose. It helps me recharge, tackling each week with renewed focus. I want to give my very best to each client.
I hope you’re enjoying summertime adventures too!

A Winning Format: Virtual + In-Person
We’ve been getting great feedback on our combination workshops, the perfect way to accommodate busy schedules and remote work. We are happy to deliver a hybrid model, offering in-person training as well as virtual. Your employees can choose which works best for them—and everyone ends up with a powerful new toolset to communicate better and perform their jobs more effectively.
This model is a win-win. It shows you care about your team and want to help them reach their full potential—in a way that works for them.
Mutual of Omaha opted for combination workshops and received outstanding feedback. “It’s been a fantastic partnership,” a manager told us.
Sara English, Mutual of Omaha’s Senior Associate General Counsel, chose to do in-person training. She was unsure what to expect.
“At first I was skeptical of dedicating two days of in-person learning,” Sara admitted. “Within the first hour, Tyson changed my mind. The intersection of psychology and business value is put on full display as we worked through the unlearning of presentation and public speaking behaviors. We realized that things we have been taught and things we have simply picked up over the years worked but were not as effective as they could be. That’s the heart of the training: maximizing efficacy in delivery, tone and posture.”
The impact of Dardis’s training is obvious, Sara said. “I have a much better, more effective style now.”
She’s quick to encourage others to enroll. “I would recommend this course to anyone at a director level or higher in an organization. I think organizations should also consider investing in this training for its sales associates.”
They’re sure to appreciate the Dardis instructors, Sara added. “Tyson is a wonderful and patient instructor,” she said. “He made everyone feel very safe about the journey, meeting us each where we were in our ability and comfort levels.”
