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.  

Prefer on-line training for your team?

On-line workshops are a great way to keep your team learning, engaged, motivated and connected while working from home. Some of our most popular topics are well suited to on-line learning. Some are not. Let's talk about your team and what you'd like to achieve.
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
