At The Business Trainer we help individuals and organizations transform learning, performance, and talent development into measurable business results. Led by Michael Mocton, MBA, CPA, our practice offers training to future and new employees, offered as individual classes or course packages. In addition, the consulting service brings a unique combination of learning strategy, business and financial acumen, operational leadership, and staff development to help organization by build stronger workforces and drive performance at scale.

With experience spanning healthcare, professional services, finance, accounting, real estate, compliance, and corporate operations, we have partnered with organizations ranging from start-ups, growing businesses to complex enterprises undergoing significant transformation. Our work has included designing and launching enterprise learning ecosystems, developing leadership and compliance training programs, implementing performance management frameworks, and leading change management initiatives impacting thousands of employees.

Over the course of our engagements, we have built and managed learning portfolios exceeding 1,000 courses, supported more than 30,000 course completions, and developed training solutions covering leadership development, finance and accounting, compliance, technology adoption, onboarding, soft skills, and workforce readiness. We have also led the implementation and optimization of learning and talent management technologies, including Workday Learning and Talent, helping organizations align employee development with business objectives.

Our consulting experience extends beyond training delivery. We have partnered with executive leaders to redesign performance review processes, launch enterprise-wide talent initiatives, develop competency frameworks, implement skills mapping programs, and create sustainable learning cultures that support employee growth and organizational success. Through strategic planning, curriculum development, facilitation, and performance consulting, we help organizations move beyond training as an event and create learning experiences that drive lasting behavior change.

What sets us apart is our ability to connect learning initiatives directly to business outcomes. As a CPA and former controller, Michael understands the importance of measurable results, operational efficiency, and return on investment. This perspective allows us to design solutions that not only engage learners but also improve performance, increase compliance, accelerate adoption of new processes and technologies, and support organizational growth.

Whether your organization needs custom curriculum development, leadership training, learning technology implementation, performance management consulting, change management support, or a comprehensive workforce development strategy, The Business Trainer delivers practical, scalable solutions designed to help your people—and your business—perform at their best.
