We are on a mission to help managers be the kind of manager they would want to work for. We've spent 12 years coaching leaders with content anchored in real-world experience, data, and neuroscience. Our live workshops create lasting habit-based practices for the future.
We pride ourselves on having the most relevant and actionable content, with the techniques and frameworks we teach being rooted in experience (through hundreds of hours of coaching), data (from training thousands of managers), as well as psychology and neuroscience research. We deeply understand the challenges leaders face and we know what works.
From interactive modules to real-life examples and proven techniques, our workshops are designed to be as engaging as they are effective.
