Our passion is helping people throughout the world gain easy access to new knowledge and skills, helping them lead positive and productive lives.
Knowledge is power, but most of us today are overwhelmed with information and media resources. From the internet to books, magazines, television and other media, we are all exposed to plenty of information. None of has the time or energy to absorb all of this. So the real power is in targeting the right knowledge to help you achieve your goals in every area of life.
We have structured our catalog of online courses to make it easy for you to find the topics most relevant and interesting to you. And within the courses themselves we focus on useful, practical information which you can immediately apply at work, at home, in every area of your life.
We are a unique group of corporate trainers, speakers, consultants, writers, developers and producers. We work together and play together, bonded by our common enthusiasm for learning and development.
While we have a diverse blend of competencies and personalities on our team, everyone brings something unique and important to the mix. From creative innovators who develop and invent amazing new learning experiences, to tactical executors who ensure that every project is completed on time and on budget.
We have team members working in five countries on three continents, in a flexible work environment with only one hard and fast rule; we have to make a difference in people’s lives, and have fun in the process.

We have searched the globe for individuals with deep expertise in specific areas of life, people with ideas, strategies and techniques that have been proven to produce results.
Because we focus on practical and proven skill development, it is important that the authors we work with have a similar philosophy. We are not looking for conceptual or theoretical training. We make a commitment to our learners who expect to be able to quickly apply what they have learned in the real world. This is why every course author is carefully screened an vetted before we consider working with them.
You can learn more about the individual authors when you read the detailed course summary pages. For each author we provide reference data, a bibliography, and a complete list of all courses they have developed for SkillSpire Academy.

Our experience in corporate and personal development training goes back more than 50 years. We started with chalk boards and film strips, progressing to (real) slides and overhead projectors.
Over the past 50 years our training initiatives have touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals, and now through the power of the internet we are poised to impact millions more. While the fundamentals of effective adult learning haven’t changed over the years, the methods of effective execution certainly have. And we have always pushed to stay on the forefront of leveraging technology to drive high impact learning.
Today we develop online skill assessments and e-learning courses, optimized for tablets and mobile devices. And we continue to explore new technologies and push to stay on the leading edge.
