The antidote to tired training
We help our community of partners to continually build in-demand skills throughout their teams, wherever they're working from. Energising live learning experiences, combined with on-demand resources, inspire self-directed development around the challenges of the day.
This week we're...
Learning about Imposter Syndrome from Superheroes (and Raul Aparici), continuing the pilot of our 🚀 Early Careers Accelerator (focussed on providing feedback upwards), enabling managers at communications maestros Aisle 8, helping peer coaches at DixonBaxi get clearer on setting goals, supporting cross-cultural peer coaching circles at Campari, getting the team at StudioXAG thinking purposefully about making more of the meetings that matter — and talking to you about teaming up too?
Key ways we might team up
And always tailored to your people priorities
Individual, unlimited and self-directed learning that gets teams discovering, trying and applying new skills daily — connecting with a supportive community of peers in the process. And helpfully cost-effective.
Whether standalone workshops, ongoing programmes or development driven by self-directed resources — we'll engage and enable your teams, wherever they're working from.
We've deep expertise in delivering development programmes that quickly provide managers with the confidence and capability to have the conversations that count.
From foodie favourites to FTSE 100 firms, detail-loving design studios to scaling tech-stars — while working across all sectors; our partners are united in their recognition of continual learning in teams as an enabler of cultural and commercial success. And that's what we partner to provide.
Head and shoulders above any other training and development partner in terms of relevance and originality
Focusing on the core behaviours embodied by effective managers; we combine memorable training and timely tools to rapidly build confidence to recognise strengths, take a coaching approach, continuously give and receive feedback and get in the rhythm of high-quality performance conversations. We can develop tailored programmes, delivered directly — or welcome your managers into motivating cohorts of peers.
Partnership snapshots
Teams like yours, we're enabling today
We've been supporting teams throughout the technology partner ON with an arsenal of tools for greater confidence, clarity and participation in all kinds of presentations; from virtual client check-ins to in-person keynotes.

We’ve partnered with the footwear and culture makers since 2019 to support ongoing performance enablement, and empower Dr. Martens people-managers with capability to have coaching conversations with their teams.

As part of an ongoing learning partnership with the restaurant group — and in collaboration with subject expert Dr. Anne Cockayne —we've been opening conversation and closing knowledge gaps around neurodiversity, and practically exploring opportunities for greater neuroinclusion within teams and customer environments.

We’re growing our circle of Associate Facilitators and Coaches — joining us to deliver modern and motivating training and development programmes to some of the most creative and growth-oriented organisations on the planet; and to connect and learn with one-another along the way.
