About Us
Our Purpose
We help you create a more human workplace through management training that sticks.
Our approach leads to permanent and significant behaviour change among learners – and their leaders. Let the middle of your organization drive enduring culture change. Without a single workshop.
It all started when…
….we were working with business owners and senior executives. We asked them what their biggest challenge inside their organization was and every one of them had some version of:
I’ve done leadership development for myself but haven’t really invested in developing my team. My managers are technically good at their jobs but they lack core management soft skills. I need them to be better and I know I should coach them more but I don’t do it consistently - it’s holding the business back from achieving the goals we set.
Developing a solution to that challenge is where our Active Leaders development programs were born.
