Accelerate growth in your organisation
Agile business teams need to upskill quickly to stay relevant. Your teams need to deliver with impact constantly, whether it’s 1:1 conversations, team meetings or presentations, getting their message across in a compelling way is critical.
But taking time out of the office for training, or the travel costs for live training, can be prohibitive for dispersed teams. Online learning is the perfect alternative to enhance communication skills within distributed or international teams, fast.

A rising star in her field, Kate saw our program as an opportunity to fine-tune how she engaged with colleagues and stakeholders.

After a lead analysis discussion, Josh’s former capability team recognised the need for change. Staff were lacking confidence in delivering and pitching offers. They were missing opportunities.

“It’s really changed how they use their body and how they tell their message.”
Throughout 2 buyouts and corporatisation, Carolyne implements change, new programs and initiatives across her organisation. Her senior team relied heavily on slides in presentations and struggled to get messages to land. The staff were bombarded with information from many channels and nothing was sticking.

When Hazel was recommended to our program by her leader she saw it as an important step in her career.
