Why can't they just say something clear and simple, like:
"If you're a professional facilitator, we'll help you improve your delivery skills and get more business."
Sure, it doesn't use as many big words, and it might not be exactly right, but it's a lot clearer than "Maximising the benefits of their learning initiatives"!

But if you think that's bad, look at this example from the Vitec Group in the U.K.:



Admittedly, this is their second paragraph, so they don't lead with that. But it's still a lot of words, saying absolutely nothing useful.
