The Connor Group, Inc. A highly effective outsource alternative to in-house training and development.

Our clients talk about us. Here are some of the things they have said recently:

“Over the years I’ve hired Gary many times for a wide range of instructional design, development and delivery assignments. As an instructional designer he excels at developing courses and instructional materials that are exceptionally well aimed toward the target audience. He is especially talented in bringing creativity and fun to learning design while still keeping the appropriate level of business focus. His business savvy clearly separates him from other instructional designers I have worked with in the past. He really understands business and can translate those business needs into superb instructional materials and courses. He also has outstanding presentation skills. So not only can he develop superior instructional material, he can also deliver it extremely well. I’ve seen him deliver many times and have used him to conduct train the trainer sessions for those learning to be instructors because of his skills in this area. He is masterful at working with groups in an engaging way and presenting material enthusiastically. His instructor evaluation feedback from participants was always extremely high. He connects well with the audience and can help them see the possibilities for themselves in the material he is covering. Gary has consistently demonstrated the ability to deliver outstanding results both as an instructional designer/developer and as an instructor. I highly recommend him.”

“Gary is a skilled and knowledgeable professional who brings to the table an in depth knowledge of sales process and adult learning principals. I have worked with Gary on a number of high priority projects and he always delivers above my expectations. Most importantly each project has increased sales productivity and performance. I highly recommend him for any project where results count, when he's involved he thinks and acts like a member of my staff. He delivers on time with a high degree of value.”

“Gary has an amazing ability to deep dive into any industry, understand the business process and, with a high level of professionalism, develop a very effective and top quality development program. He is excellent at creating educational materials leveraging all venues of technology and has mastered the ability to deliver the material in a way where individuals achieve a high knowledge retention rate. I recommend Gary for any education and development engagements. He is at the top of his profession.”

“Gary Connor is among the finest curriculum developers working today. He makes learning fast, memorable and fun. His facilitation and collaboration skills are superb. Gary is the consummate professional and has been an asset to numerous high profile engagements during the last 15 years of our business relationship. I recommend him highly.”

“When I arrived at JLH in 2006, Gary was already an institution in the company. As a consultant he assimilated so well into our culture, most of us thought he was a regular employee. He developed all the training materials for the Sales associates, the HR department and the Customer Care group. In addition to the materials, he facilitated many of the training sessions. I found Gary to be extremely detailed oriented and a perfectionist in his entire work product. I specifically had the pleasure to work closely with him developing the “World Class Customer Care” training program that in part propelled John Laing Homes to win the "Builder of the Year" award in 2007 from the Eliant Customer Research firm that surveyed our customers on satisfaction. I highly recommend Gary Connor as a consultant for developing training materials and facilitating training classes.”
