  Spark's Core Mission
  Spark empowers groups and teams by delivering engaging, inspirational and innovative learning & relationship-building events and tools.

  
  

  Spark's Current Focus:
  New social and knowledge-sharing technologies are rapidly changing how we relate and do business with an increasingly wired world. 
  
  Yet a vast number of individuals and organizations are still unaware, overwhelmed or in dysfunctional relationship to these new technologies. How long will they be able to sustain technological illiteracy?
  
  Through highly engaging presentations and trainings that model the same trends and values that make up the very fabric of these new technologies (interactivity, collaboration, transparency, improvisation, etc.) and supplemental social media tools, Spark empowers people to increase their personal or organizational learning and relationship-building capital.
