Core themes for skills in teams

Our focus is on in-demand skills; the most relevant, useful capabilities and mindsets required to thrive in the modern world of work, identified through deep, ongoing collaboration with our partners. Through workshops, resources and micro-learning we help your teams to master them quickly and apply them continually in relation to the opportunities that matter the most. We prioritise four core complementary themes — shared below, along with the latest topics that relate to each.

1. Personal Effectiveness
1. Personal Effectiveness

Don't call them soft skills, they're super-powers! From giving and receiving feedback well to presenting with purpose; influencing others to managing time, these key skills are fundamental to the success of your working relationships and impact on others.

2. Creative and Critical Thinking
2. Creative and Critical Thinking

Despite the commonly heard refrain 'I'm not creative', the reality is that creative thinking is simply thinking differently. And in modern, increasingly flat and distributed teams, ideas should confidently come from anywhere. Our focus is on giving everyone the tools they need to think clearly, creatively and critically.

3. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
3. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

From closing knowledge-gaps around neurodiversity to beating bias for better decisions, modern teams are continually working towards more diverse and inclusive cultures where everyone can play to their strengths. Our focus in this area is ever-evolving, and informed by an enlightened community of subject experts.

4. Self & Wellbeing
4. Self & Wellbeing

Self-management, proactive resilience building and an awareness of our drivers, drainers and energisers is fundamental to success in any area. Our exploration of the latest opportunities for mental health and wellbeing at an individual and team level lays foundations for lateral learning and much else too.

When managers are bringing development into their check-ins and 1-1s, they create a disproportionate level of engagement with their teams. We help managers to drive continual learning and the application of newly acquired skills to the challenges of the day, fuelling your learning culture.
