Five Steps to Partner with "Talent Authority"

​

Talent Authority works with organizations to understand the business need, identify the right talent solution, and deliver practical development experiences that support measurable results.

​

(1) Understand Your Business and Organizational Needs

We begin by learning about your goals, challenges, workforce priorities, and the outcomes you need to achieve.

​​​

(2) Assess or Survey Individual, Team, and Organizational Needs

Through assessments, surveys, interviews, diagnostics, or stakeholder input, we develop a clearer picture of strengths, development needs, team dynamics, and talent gaps. We also focus on participant engagement, because people are more likely to grow when they understand the purpose of the process and feel invested in their own development.

​

(2) Identify Talent and Capability Gaps

We analyze where leadership skills, workplace behaviors, team effectiveness, or workforce capabilities may fall short of current and future business demands.

​

(4) Prioritize and Implement High-Impact Solutions

Together, we identify the training, coaching, assessment, or talent development initiatives that are most likely to create meaningful impact for your organization.

​

(5) Deliver Practical, Measurable Talent Results

We focus on outcomes that matter: stronger leaders, more capable teams, better talent decisions, improved workplace behavior, and greater workforce readiness.

​

We aim to be more than a training provider. We want to be a long-term talent development partner that helps your organization build capability, strengthen performance, and support sustainable growth.

Our Open Enrollment Registration Requirements

​

​All company-paid registrations are non-refundable once confirmed; however, a registration may be transferred to another attendee prior to the first session. Training is delivered via Zoom, and participants are required to join from a distraction-free setting with their camera on during instructor-led portions. Respectful, workplace-appropriate behavior, dress, and backgrounds are expected at all times. Recording or capturing images during sessions is prohibited without prior consent. Training materials are required for participation and may not be duplicated; replacement binders are available for a fee if lost outside of Talent Authority’s control. Supplemental tools and resources will be provided online. To maximize learning, trainees are expected to remain engaged, avoid multitasking, and complete all pre-session surveys.

​

To utilize California state funding, the above applies.  The facility enrolling individuals must be approved in advance.  Those individuals being registered must be employed full-time (35+ hours per week) during the program and for 90 days after completion, and must attend all eight published cohort sessions (no make-ups or transfers; missed sessions will be invoiced at $100 each). Eligible participants must earn an hourly wage meeting the state’s minimums—$24.01 (Los Angeles), $23.56, $23.72 (San Diego), $25.70 (Bay Area counties), and $23.56 for all other counties—with a maximum qualifying wage of $95; up to $2.50 in employer-paid health benefits may count toward the wage requirement. Should a trainee not meet the above, the state will not pay for their training and the employer will be liable for what the state would have paid ($800).  Only California payroll employees are eligible; VP-level and above positions may be excluded (please inquire before registering). A $350 company-paid enrollment fee per registrant is required prior to the start of training, which is non-refundable but transferable to another eligible trainee if requested before the first session. All state-required items must be completed and reported for participation and funding eligibility.
