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.)

Our clients are large organisations throughout New Zealand and beyond.

Our Approach

In-house soft skills workshops your teams will love

We'll design the training for your organisation's needs. We'll make it relevant, useful and challenging. Let's make it active learning because we want 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
Safe: our training specialists create a supportive environment for learning
