A Practical Approach to Empowering Your Team

Our hands-on workshops focus on building core business understanding using proven tools like the Business Model Canvas and innovation principles that can be applied immediately. No jargon (well, maybe a little)—and practical, relevant knowledge that empowers your team to connect with the business, contribute more, and grow in their careers.

What They'll Walk Away With

  • Business Model Fundamentals: We use a simplified framework to help them understand how the business creates and delivers value and where they fit in.
  • Innovation Skills: We provide practical tools to help employees bring forward ideas that align with business goals and teach them how to test for new ideas with minimal risk.
  • Growth and Ownership: This learning and development workshop enables your team to take charge of their own growth, adding value to themselves and the Company.

Are you having a tough time retaining team members?

Do seemingly happy employees leave unexpectedly?

We can help.

 Here's how...

Teams equipped with business acumen are:

  •  Engaged and Motivated: Employees see how their roles fit into the big picture.
  • Empowered to Innovate: Confident enough to propose new ideas that can make a difference and know how to test ideas without disrupting operations.
  • Invested in Company Success: When employees understand how the business operates and how they help create value to your customers, they’re more likely to stick around, have reasonable expectations of your Company, and contribute to long-term success.

Give your team the skills to grow with your business—and watch the impact.

Hi there! I’m Monique Mills, CEO of TPM Focus, and I’ve seen firsthand how understanding business fundamentals transforms teams. By teaching business acumen, I help employees shift their mindset about work, understand their role in the market, and build the confidence to innovate—all while setting realistic expectations in the workplace.

Too many companies are losing valuable talent because employees don’t understand how the business operates, leading to frustration and unrealistic demands. My workshops provide teams with a holistic view of how everything fits together, equipping them to bring fresh, actionable ideas to the table—often right in the workshop itself.

If you’re ready to invest in lasting impact for your company, let’s talk. This training can be the key to retaining talent, fostering innovation, and building a stronger future for your company.
