Training & Facilitation

"Effective training goes beyond delivering information—it’s about creating engaging, purposeful learning experiences that drive real outcomes. I bring a blend of strong facilitation skills, practical tools, and learner-centered design to every session. From in-person workshops to virtual classrooms, I use a range of applications and learning assets—guides, visuals, interactive exercises—to ensure concepts are clear, relevant, and retained. This page highlights examples of my work in designing and facilitating impactful training programs."

​​​"I have had the opportunity to work with Hector Castanon in the National Sales Training Department at Schering Plough. One word best describes Hector, dynamic. Hector was always regarded by his colleagues as a person who could get the job
done at a very high level. Hector embodies leadership, mentorship and a desire to see people succeed. Hector's track record of making complex information easy to understand and apply was a trademark of his work.
Hector served as a mentor to me to demonstrate what a true trainer and teacher should be. He gains respect from his colleagues at all levels and consistently inspires people to go the extra mile. These types of characteristics are rare in today's business world and sets Hector apart from the masses. I would consider it an honor and privilege to work along side someone of his caliber and abilities. Whether you are seeking a seasoned sales professional, trainer or leader of people, Hector Castanon is your man. I enthusiastically recommend him for any leadership position within your organization. He is a true winner!
