Dr. Don Carmont is a training and development specialist, who brings to his consulting practice an expertise in “people skills,” gained from forty years of leadership, teaching, training, writing and public speaking to hundreds of thousands of people in nearly thirty countries. 

Don believes that adults learn best when the new learning can be tied to prior knowledge, current abilities and skills. Therefore he employs a Principle-Based Learning approach. Don wants participants to exit a training experience with the ability to say to themselves, "I knew that," since people are more likely to apply approaches and techniques when they connect them with principles that they already know and accept.

With an MA in management, and a Ph.D. in communications, Don has designed, developed and delivered training programs, leadership development courses, and several thousand seminar sessions to international conferences, graduate school classrooms, and on-site for organizations in both public and private sector, from American Express to Zurich Life.

Don is a certified Master Coach with the global Behavioral Coaching Institute and partner in ExecutiveCoachworx www.executivecoachworx.com
