Veronica Adams
Riding the Wave Training & Development (RTW) was created and launched by Veronica Adams. She serves as the lead instructional designer and trainer and, based on clients’ needs, partners with other training and organizational development professionals offering a wide range of expertise.
She is deeply committed to integrity, quality, and to successfully serving her clients’ immediate training and development needs. She also enjoys opportunities to work with team members and help small and medium-size organizations that are looking for innovative ways to become a) employers of choice and b) more effective in achieving their missions and improving their bottom lines.
She believes the best way to get there is through the workplace values of People, Efficiency & Innovation. As many of the top-earning “Best Places to Work” clearly demonstrate, both Efficiency and Innovation are achieved far more easily when managers encourage and apply the input and ideas of their People. –And this in turn boosts both organizational effectiveness and morale!
Veronica’s work has also been influenced by what many winning companies have clearly demonstrated: the integration of creativity and a spirit of fun into the work environment fosters both innovation and employee loyalty. Veronica’s beyond-the-box thinking approach is evident in her experiential training programs. (She has been overheard to say, “What box?!?”) At the same time, she is committed to content that is appropriate for adult learners: that is intelligent and challenges participants to think critically.
Her work draws upon a varied background in organizational development, nonprofit administration, hospitality management, community ministry and chaplaincy, and theater arts. An end result of her collective experiences has provided her with keen insights into what inspires and motivates employees.

WHAT'S IN A NAME
At Riding the Wave, our philosophy is based upon the belief that there is only one constant, unchanging thing in the human realm -- and that is the existence of change itself.
When we
make peace with the inevitability of The Way (Wu Wei) of change,instead of diffusing our energy in vain attempts to swim
against the current and resist it,and by looking deeply within and feeding our own sources
of strength --we become free to use the energy of The Way to move
us along... and allow it to foster our own positive transformations along
the way.
Especially in these days of "white water change," we can learn to navigate upon these waves with confidence and the rediscovered joy and creativity of an adventurer!
