  • no, that's too messy. Make this more like a marker font

    Every month without systematic methods costs you:

    • Time: Teams guessing instead of using evidence; hours wasted fighting tools instead of solving problems
    • Money: Subscription and consultant fees that could build internal expertise instead
    • Credibility: Initiatives that fail because no one tested first
  • check mark

    Our trainings transfer complete capability:

    • Proven methods that have worked across organizations serving millions
    • Hands-on practice with your actual work problems
    • Written materials you reference forever
    • Instructor feedback, not automated responses
    • 30-day money-back guarantees on everything
  • Are the trainings live or recorded?

    Trainings are conducted with a live instructor.

  • Do you offer any discounts?

    Veterans and former or serving civil servants receive a 40% discount on all classes. Get started by emailing us at hello@ishmaelinteractive.com.

  • What if I have to cancel or drop out of the class? Can I get a refund?

    Full refunds are available up 24 hours before the class start time. While refunds are not available after that time, we will provide all the written class materials including reading and viewing lists, diagrams, and slides.
