Join a revolutionary new peer network aimed at getting the best out of yourself and others
The Learning Network: Unlock Your Potential While Balancing Your Busy Schedule
Designed to maximise learning with minimal time, our programme delivers real, practical solutions to complex challenges.
A Learning Network - also known as a community practice - is a group of people that come together to develop themselves. They are led and supported by a performance facilitator, with access to experts and specialists. This system, stolen from sport, has proved game changing for developing Managers, Directors and Business Owners who are busy, but still keen to improve their own skills and performance. Guided by SME experts and performance specialists, you'll benefit from:
- Helping you being yourself with more skill.
- Workshops, coaching, and expert support tailored to your needs
- In person and virtual peer learning and shared experiences to boost growth and harness diversity
- Insights from high-performance environments, adapted for business
- Actionable skills, habits, strategies and routines to accelerate development
- Flexible learning that fits around your work
This innovative approach brings Olympic-level high-performance principles into business, helping you and your team achieve more. Minimal cost, maximum impact.
A FRESH APPROACH TO LEARNING
To create a non-profit network that shares and learns from each other. This is the stuff that you won't read about in books, it's about evidence based research mixed with the hard won experiences and lessons from different businesses and worlds.
7 RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:
Engage and share, this is not about hiding your experiences
Be respectful of others
No selling
It's important to challenge and be ok to be challenged
Commit to turning up with an open mindset
Have the courage to try new things
Bring your sense of humour
THE RATIONALE:
The decision to create this network was motivated by frustrated about not being able to find a group locally, to share experiences and develop personal skills and expertise. This is a common issue for consultants, as it can be for many senior executives or business owners. Being part of a team that helps each other get better is inspiring and important.
