In 1992, Monica Ballard was asked by the CEO of a Fortune 500 company to help find the best training program available, on the subject of sexual harassment prevention.  She researched 20 firms, before concluding that none of their programs addressed the issue from an adult learning perspective and that, typically, they focused on divisions between the sexes, or spouted legal jargon, totally defeating the educational purpose.  After reporting to the CEO that there were no programs in the U.S. built around “Concepts of Adult Learning”, he responded, "Why don't you create one?".

Monica did create training programs on the prevention of sexual harassment, and the programs were so much better than anything available in the marketplace, that Exxon U.S.A became Parallax Education’s third client.
