Boost your professional performance with a series of one-day high-impact courses by NotchUP Training
SCC Sàrl – a group of centers in Vaud with a range of services designed to boost professional performance - has just announced the launch of NotchUP Training, a new approach to enhancing your skills in the workplace.
Following an initial phase of training courses offered over the last two years, an expanded portfolio of titles has now been created and a top-class training team has been assembled to satisfy the growing demand of its clients.
The NotchUP concept
The NotchUP concept incorporates fast-paced, intense training on essential skills for improved work performance. The series of one-day dynamic courses will be delivered by highly experienced trainers with tangible take-aways for immediate application on the job. The concept has been developed to take into account the needs for quality training with a networking aspect, delivered locally and with innovative pricing.
In 2018 there will be 6 NotchUP courses that can be purchased à la carte or as a package at an attractive price. The training is ideal for professionals at all levels from entry-level to senior executives who aspire to recognition at work and career advancement. If you can’t make a particular date, then simply send someone else in your place.

Executives International (EI), one of the leading English-language business networking clubs in Switzerland, has reached a major milestone as it celebrates its 50th anniversary!
Since it was created back in 1968, Executives International (EI) has provided active professionals and business leaders in the Lac Léman region with a vibrant networking environment to exchange experiences and explore new opportunities. This remarkable achievement is a testament not only to the vision of its founder, Maurice Raphaël, and his fellow founding members, but also to each successive generation of members. They have all ensured that EI has adapted itself effectively over the 50 years.
Current EI President, Simon Hardy, told knowitall.ch. "In spite of the changed (and ever-changing) world in which we live and work, the founders’ stated mission for creating EI is as relevant today as it was in 1968." Quoting directly from the original EI manifesto, he added, "In today’s highly competitive world, an essential requirement for executive success is to continually upgrade the knowledge base, broaden the horizons and keep abreast of developments, not just in one’s own speciality, but also in other business activities. Very often, in pursuit of these essential objectives, executives are unaware of another essential requirement necessary for successful personal development: human contact.”

When Seedspace took over an abandoned 19th century house in Geneva back in early 2015, it was hard to imagine then how they would go on to create one of the fastest growing networks of highly connected workspaces in emerging markets.
Now with 3 locations in Geneva, and another 22 worldwide, they have built one of the most exciting learning, working and living environments in the world, empowering entrepreneurs from all over the globe to innovate and make changes that will tackle the complex challenges facing people today.
Earlier this month, Know-it-all passport® editor, Lisa Cirieco-Ohlman, and knowitall.ch webmaster, Jenny Jeffreys, were fortunate to meet one of the founding members of the organization, Adrien Geyer, at their newest location in La Praille – needless-to-say, they were impressed!
