Spark Solutions & Support understands the science behind behavior. I work with businesses, organizations & schools who want to create a culture of excellence where everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential; is motivated to reach their potential and inspires others to do the same. Your ‘culture’ can set the stage for a healthy, engaged workforce who purposely adds value or it can force you to spend ridiculous time putting out fires that ultimately affects your relationship with your customers. When your culture is in alignment with your employees‘ ability to engage effectively, you position your company for success. So let me ask, do you want the employee who is “just laying bricks” or the one who is “building a cathedral?” As the company owner, I marry a strong business acumen, with a solid background in training & facilitation and a graduate degree in counseling which has given me the ability to understand and facilitate all types of workplace environments, personalities, generational & cultural differences. My goal is to provide you with the best training tools and techniques from the most respected training companies. I focus on customer service inside & out, self awareness & self regulation, putting your best foot forward, problem solving & critical thinking and build on the principles of adult learning: make it interactive, experiential, fun and immediately applicable.

Why do they do that??? I have heard that phrase so many times from managers about employees and from employees about managers. We may excel at the technical skills needed to do our jobs but sometimes struggle with the interpersonal and communication skills that are critically needed to work effectively with co-workers and clients.

Stephanie Rado Taormina is the founder,
designer and CEO of the lifestyle brand Have Some Fun Today. As a fine artist and interior designer who began her career in fashion over 30 years ago, her creativity and artistic vision have always been at the heart of her work and art. It was that same creative spirit that deeply moved and inspired her after losing her beloved father in 2014. "I was sitting in my living room one day, shortly after the passing of my father, when I began to visualize a painting. I was inspired by something my father said every day; "Have Some Fun Today." The painting was just the beginning. I wanted to make a t-shirt, a beach tote, a hat… That was the day I started this brand." Stephanie has a BA in communications and business from The Pennsylvania State University. She then continued on to Parsons School of Design where she earned a BFA in fashion design and went to work on 7th Avenue for several years before starting her own soft home furnishing & loungewear brand called RADO, LTD.
