Director Level Personal Efficiency Training
This case study describes our work with Know History and our Director Level Personal Efficiency Training.
Since 2011, Know History has provided a range of historical services to assist in the research, presentation and documentation of Canada’s history. With offices in Ottawa and Calgary and associates located throughout the country, they have had the privilege of working alongside policymakers, museums, filmmakers, Indigenous organizations and individuals to make history relevant.
At Know History they have the experience necessary to deliver top-quality historical services, but they have something else too, a passion for what they do. Their trained historians are genuinely interested in helping people connect with the past and discover history’s impact on the present and future.
