Veronica Adams
Riding the Wave Training & Development (RTW) offers a range of engaging and innovative training programs that merge founder Veronica Adams’ background in organizational development, psychology, diversity, and theater with her drive to help organizations to become a) employers of choice and b) more effective in achieving their missions and improving their bottom lines.
Her two primary workplace values: People & Efficiency. She believes that many regular winners of “Best Places to Work” clearly prove that the latter, Efficiency, is often achieved far sooner when managers listen to and apply the input of their People – which in turn boosts both productivity and morale.
Given her interest in generating creativity and fun in the work place as a means towards fostering innovation and enhancing morale, Veronica’s training programs tend to be experiential, and often leave “the box” far behind. Training that contains intelligent content that challenges participants to think critically, while also offering creative, fun, and blended elements has been shown to have far greater and more lasting impact than many common approaches currently used in adult learning.
Veronica has applied her strong technical writing abilities to process training, but her heart is in “soft/interpersonal skills,” cultural competence, and a range of organizational development topics. She also helps clients to revise their existing training programs to enhance them with more experiential and engaging elements for greater impact.
Veronica partners with a variety of other talented trainers and consultants on an as-needed basis.

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!
