Our Purpose

To help leaders, executives and their teams to reclaim these moments by mastering critical conversation skills.

To turn every business conversation into an opportunity to drive individual and organisational growth.

To help business professionals to be their best in the moments that matter most.

Why We Do It

Because the “soft” skills aren’t soft at all. They’re the most powerful performance lever you have.​ And because courageous, masterful conversation is a muscle that can (and should) be trained.​

Leaders are already stretched for time. Our job is to make this training practical, engaging and fast.  


How We Do It

Our group and individual training programmes blend rigour, structure and practice in a way that builds real capability, not theoretical knowledge.

All our programmes combine:

1. Science​

Everything we teach is rooted in evidence-based psychology and neuroscience; giving leaders a clear understanding of the behavioural patterns that drive (and derail) conversations.​

2. Methodology​

Practical tools, frameworks and repeatable structures that help leaders plan, navigate and shape critical conversations in a consistent, scalable way.​

3. Practice​

Elite atheletes practice. So do elite conversationalists. We bring practice into the room. We use live role play with expert coaches, forum theatre scenarios played out by professional actors and filmed conversations to build self-awareness and turn knowledge into embodied skill.​

And, for clients who want to supercharge their learning, our programmes can be enhanced with AI-powered data and analytics (care of Yoodli) to accelerate your learning.​

This is not theoretical. It’s grounded in science, tested and proven to work in law, finance, consulting and other high-pressure environments and our clients love the results.
