About Us
Productive Learning & Leisure... a Parallel Path... to a Common Destination
What Drives You, Drives Us... Creating an Extraordinary Life
First and foremost, Productive Learning & Leisure exists only because our clients, friends and colleagues make it possible. We are... and always will be... all about YOU!
Productive Learning & Leisure is in constant flux, morphing and changing to better serve our clients and our charter. However, in our hearts and at our foundation are a set of values that sustain us as individuals and as a company:
- Value-- every client encounter contributes to the individual's ability to create an extraordinary life (anchor link) for themselves and their communities
- Mutual Commitment-- define, focus and drive our abilities in a cooperative environment
- Mutual Respect-- everyone shines a little uniquely and respect for who you are and what you can accomplish is paramount to our collective success
- Interaction-- we are social creatures and growth comes more easily when we share experiences
- Growth-- simply put, we grow or we die
- Fun-- the best lessons in life are very often learned and ingrained through fun, relaxing activities
- Accomplishment-- always, always leave a person or a situation in a better state of being
- Balance-- health prosperity and happiness are the result of living a balanced life where we act responsibly on those things, which are in our hands, and that we can affect in a positive manner.
Are You One of Us?
Productive Learning & Leisure appeals to almost anyone searching for new and exciting ways to get what they want from life. However, we also recognize we're not for everyone. Obviously, if you subscribe in part or full to the values above, it's a great start.
Are you one of us?
Unfulfilled Expectations-- There is something you want to have or do and you're frustrated about getting there. You sense you've “earned it” but it hasn't happened yet. You may be bitter, feel a bit victimized and even doubt yourself. Some go philosophical and say it wasn’t meant to be. What’s important is that you haven’t given up hope.
You're Stuck-- You're fed up with something and can’t seem to escape. You really want help solving a problem or getting out of a situation that keeps repeating itself, you just don't know how.
You're Always Looking to Improve-- You're hungry and looking for growth. You've pursued self growth but need a fresh perspective.
Curious But Cautious-- While curious about what life's path has in store for you, you are cautious and even suspicious when it comes to personal growth. You were brought up around viewpoints that laid out the simple truths of life and the environment that did not reward curiosity or even questions. Obedience and compliance was the quickest route to approval. You may even consider yourself to be relatively happy and doing fine in life or at least life is serving up exactly what you expected. Exposing yourself to something so out of your frame of thinking begins to really work the possibilities.
We are Passionate about Extraordinary Living. We are quite possibly the best in the world at blending personal awareness workshops with personal attention and an intimate connection with our clients.
If you see yourself in any of these profiles, we encourage you to contact us (anchor link) or call us toll free at (800) 300-3036
Corporate Profile
Productive Learning & Leisure's co-founders, Lindon Crow and Rick Itzkowich met in 1980 while teaching personal development seminars for a nationally respected seminar organization. Out of a mutual commitment to providing life-enhancing programs in a more relaxed interactive atmosphere of productive fun and recreation, they founded Productive Learning & Leisure (PL&L) in 1992.
For over 15 years the company's Mission has been to provide the tools and experiences to help people create an "extraordinary life" in a relaxed atmosphere of fun, sports and recreation. By helping our clients become more aware of their underlying beliefs and attitudinal currents, we assist them in closing the gap between potential and performance or, in other words, between what they have and what they want. As a result clients who participate with us find that they can consciously become the controlling force behind their life experiences. The courses are designed for people who are ready to move beyond unrealistic expectations, maximize their strengths and receive personalized solutions; solutions that help them increase productivity, achieve goals and live an extraordinary life.
Decades of individual and corporate motivational training and experience went into the creation of this truly experiential learning model based on the integral link between leisure, sports, adventure and life. At Productive Learning & Leisure we have identified an interesting perspective -- people approach business and personal situations in much the same way they address sports or any other "real life" challenge.
A team of experienced trainers and speakers facilitate the curriculum. All of the staff members are avid participants in the courses and constantly bring fresh experiences to their role as facilitator. The trainers bring experience from corporate and small business arenas, ensuring that the topics are relevant to real life situations.
Lindon and Rick derive personal satisfaction from knowing that PL&L is providing tangible and measurable results in people's lives. After completing a training session or course, corporate clients as well as individuals feel refreshed, inspired and better equipped to lead happier and more productive lives.
