Wilson Learning Europa Sends Bicycles For Christmas

Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, UK. — December 8th, 2008

Wilson Learning Europa – EMEA arm of Global Human Performance Improvement provider, Wilson Learning Worldwide, today announces its Christmas pledge to donate bicycles for transporting under-privileged children to their place of education as an alternative to sending corporate Christmas cards this year.

Both the company itself and many of its employees will be independently donating to the Save the Children charity. Mike Poulson, President Wilson Learning Europa, comments “As an organisation that delivers learning all over the world, it seemed an appropriate gesture for us to contribute to the Save the Children charity’s Learning Appeal this festive season instead of sending seasons greetings cards to clients and colleagues.”

More specifically, giving a gift of bicycles poses a special connection for Wilson Learning, and will resonate with its clients – many of whom will associate the company’s Bicycle Model™ with valuable learning that has stayed with them for many years.

Wilson Learning’s Bicycle Model is at the heart of the company’s approach to Adult Learning. The ‘back wheel’ can be compared to your technical product and process knowledge – it provides the power or drive for the bicycle. But drive and power alone will not guarantee success – it is the ‘front wheel’ that gives a bicycle direction – just as people skills give direction to your technical and product knowledge.

Helping organisations to develop the ‘front wheel’ skills required of their leaders, salespeople and individual contributors to steer their bicycles in the right direction and execute on corporate strategy is the nature of Wilson Learning’s business.

Poulson continues “The Bicycle Model has great significance to our organisation and also to thousands of Wilson Learning ‘graduates’ worldwide - who will have a miniature model bicycle sitting on their desks, reminding them to balance their Back Wheel with their Front Wheel skills, to enable them to perform effectively at work.”

Wilson Learning Europa would like to encourage clients, colleagues and affiliates worldwide who have experienced value from knowing the Bicycle Model™ to join us this Christmas time in donating a bicycle for a third world child to get to school and begin their learning journey.

For more information, and to donate visit Save The Children.

Wilson Learning would like to wish all clients, suppliers, colleagues and friends a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.
