You may have a few questions...

illustration-7
Who should enrol on the programme?

Anyone in your business that interacts with clients – business leaders, delivery teams, account managers, sales people etc. Team members that aren’t client-facing can also enrol to improve their internal comms.

How many people should we enrol?

You’ll need 30+ people to get going with a private programme. If you have 5-29 people then you can join the public programme (i.e. with teams from other businesses). We don’t take bookings for <5 people.

What are we committing to?

The time commitment is 2-3 hours per month for everyone. The core programme is 6 months and you can extend to 9 or 12 months. The programme is flexible and you’re free to pause or leave at any time.

What are the programme dates?

Training and coaching run on the same day and time every other week. You can choose your preferred day of the week and start date. For public programmes, we allocate the programme dates.

How do you track programme success?

We track confidence against key learning outcomes with regular surveys. On average, there’s a 47% skills improvement across our cohorts. Our programme is designed to bring about long lasting change.

Can the curriculum be customised?

We adjust all examples and exercises so they’re relevant to your teams’ day-to-day activities. Each module builds on the last one, so large-scale customisation is difficult.

How do you deliver the programme?

We’ve designed everything from the ground-up to be delivered remotely for either remote or hybrid teams. We can make minor adjustments to also deliver sessions in-person.

Do we get access to your frameworks?

We have a number of industry-leading frameworks. During the programme, you get on-demand access to these (plus updates free-of-charge) to help you implement your new skills day-to-day.

Do you do online courses or e-learning?

We don’t, sorry. We’re strong believers in the power of classroom training (delivered IRL or over Zoom) so you can interact and innovate with each other. Peer learning should account for half of what you learn.

Do you do one-off workshops or coaching engagements?

We run one-off workshops which are ideal for your next team day. Our workshops bring your team together for a positive and fun experience.

How much does the programme cost?

Pricing depends on your team size and a couple of other variables. Get in touch and after a quick chat we can give you a quote. Our programmes are up to 60% lower cost than standard industry pricing for training and coaching.
