Unique high-impact group sessions
Short and punchy online learning sessions no more than 90 mins each; based on the successful high impact delivery models of trainers such as the Mind Gym.
Mental health thread throughout
From the outset, the programme explores mental health issues and the relevance of personal wellbeing to a successful role. There is a strong emphasis on creating a safe and supportive space for programme participants.
On-line group / individual coaching
Group learning sessions are facilitated with a light, group coaching style and participants are trained in the use of action learning techniques to support each other's challenges. Participants are encouraged to bring real life challenges to the table for discussion.
Each participant also receives individual coaching unique to their needs, typically from 6 to 12 sessions. Coaching relationships often continue after the programme.
Intelligent, powerful exercises
The right balance between different tools for learning is critical, so exercises and tools are very carefully chosen. We don't want to overdo the technical or theoretical: one well chosen model is all that's needed to stimulate the right discussions: people are bored by excessive theory and there isn't much out there that's very new.
Immediate benefits by design
People bring real work challenges to the group sessions and real work & life challenges to the 1-2-1 coaching sessions: our programmes are all about real life, pragmatic changes and the whole person. No wading through irrelevant college assignments!
Works at every management level
One of our unique strengths is the ability to make our programmes work equally well in any environment, at any level. We've had particular success with aspiring first-line managers, for example, in trade and construction environments - equally with senior leaders in very large corporations.
A unique and enjoyable experience
Because it's based on how people really learn, and on them as people rather than the agenda of a trainer or a qualification, our Transition Programmes are uniquely enjoyable and positive experiences. Check out our recent programme example below
