Feeling Stretched Too Thin?
You know that moment when you’re standing at the front of the room, slides ready, coffee in hand — and you’re thinking, “Will this actually land?” We’ve been there too.
Real Success Stories, Real Impact.
You know that feeling when your next training session is right around the corner — the slides aren’t done, the content isn’t clicking, and you’re wishing for a magic fix?
We’ve been there too.
That’s why in 1995 we built Oak Innovation: to make training easier, faster, and way more effective.
But don’t just take our word for it — hear from the trainers, facilitators, and learning professionals who’ve turned our workshop packs into their go-to secret weapon.

Tom Heck from the International Association of Teamwork Facilitators used Oak’s customizable modules to expand his client offerings and deliver editable, professional workshops on demand.
International Association of Teamwork Facilitators
“I’ve developed an alliance with Oak — a company that has developed a wide assortment of training “modules” that you can download right now. When you download a module, you own it forever and have permission to edit it, customize it (logos, etc.), and deliver it as many times as you like. You will receive a Word document, a PDF, a PowerPoint, and a comprehensive participant manual; your satisfaction or money back will be guaranteed. The modules are designed for trainers, coaches, and consultants looking to increase their clients’ range of products and services. Oak content is also ideal for managers and employees looking to extend their knowledge of organizational, management, and employee titles.” – Tom Heck, President.
Sylva K. Leduc from SAGE Leaders saved countless hours of development time using Oak’s training packs and praised their high quality and customization options.
SAGE Leaders
“Time is money — we all know that. As coaches, our billable time is worth a significant amount, but program development time is not. For a once-off cost per training pack, you’ve saved coaches countless hours of program development time. Plus, because of the high quality of your materials, you make us look good!
What you are offering for coaches is remarkable. Thank you! Thanks, also, for letting us customize the programs with our logos, taglines, etc. Your spirit of generosity is greatly appreciated.
Well done. You’ve put a lot of work into this, and I am thrilled to see the result. All the Best.” – Sylva K. Leduc, MEd (Psychology), MPEC Master Personal & Executive Coach.
Lorretta Thirtyacre from Exelon Generation purchased Oak’s full portfolio to train her in-house facilitators and still uses the materials years later for their lasting quality and service.
Exelon Generation
“While managing a team of in-house facilitators at a large company, I first discovered Oak in 2004. We purchased several training products from his company and were very pleased with the quality and price. Later, I purchased his entire portfolio of training content and still use it to this day. I must say, I was initially reluctant to do business with someone out of the USA as one is never sure of the integrity of the business. Without reservation, Oak delivers what is promised and has consistently provided excellent customer service. Suppose you’re considering Oak and are still a bit iffy about purchasing from overseas. In that case, I’ll gladly share my positive experiences regarding this company.”- Lorretta Thirtyacre, Principal Talent Management and Organization Development.

More importantly though is the personal service. Whenever I have emailed or rung, they have been invaluable and knowledgeable. I have recommended Oak to dozens of people and have been thanked by many for making the recommendation. If you’re a trainer, give Oak a go; you won’t regret it and wonder how you managed without them” – Ellen Bothwick.

One of the sessions I often provide is a Training the Trainers workshop. The first resource I encourage people to purchase is the Library of Resources from Oak. These packages have made my job infinitely more manageable, and I recommend them to anyone looking for the highest quality training materials.” – Jeffrey L. Buller, Senior Partner.

My feedback and comments are all positive. I was surprised to see the amount of information in the participant manual. Thank you! It never fails that I need to add information to the participant manual.
I was also glad to see the increased number of participant activities. Participants want to be more involved in exploring the skills being transferred, and this course provides more activities. I can see how many of the activities provided can be used in group settings to increase participant knowledge transfer.
Overall, this product is excellent. It allows for customization for everyone’s use while allowing the trainer to maintain the core knowledge of information to be taught clearly and concisely.
