World-class soft skills training - designed for your organisation

We are leading trainers in the so-called soft skills. (We don't think there's anything soft about them.)

We're helping New Zealand's large and medium-sized organisations through the Covid-19 shutdown. Some of our topics suit interactive webinars. On this site you'll find almost 200 free blogs with advice from New Zealand's most experienced corporate trainers - valuable reading for you and your team.

Our clients are medium and large organisations throughout New Zealand and beyond.  

Webinars for staff working from home during the pandemic

Webinars are a great way to keep your team learning, engaged, motivated and connected while they're working from home. We can still make it active learning to develop skills that last. (And active learning is so much more fun and memorable.)
Engaging: this is active learning at its best. (We don't offer passive seminars.)
Realistic: we create learning activities based on real-world scenarios your teams face
Flexible: we'll build the workshop around your teams' needs and priorities
Effective: everyone gains experience using best-practice techniques
Team-based: there are opportunities for team-building as well as individual learning
