About Us

Thanks for dropping by :)

In 2002, after many years in corporate L and D, we decided to do what we love best – designing and developing innovative and engaging learning that really makes a difference.

We combined years of practical experience supporting businesses with our love for learning about learning and developed our own unique approach to building brains at work.

Our Team

Led by Cathy and Sally

Cathy has combined her love of learning with leadership in the L and D space, managing projects one moment and getting down and dirty into training design and facilitation the next.

She loves to weave many layers into learning, and believes that while learning objectives are always paramount, let’s also use learning moments to support the values we aspire to, enhance our life skills and build each person’s ability to learn effectively”.

Sally brings creativity, authenticity, passion, energy and an eye for detail into the projects she leads and the training she designs and facilitates.

‘Learning should be fun, inspiring, relevant, useful and achievable ... otherwise why would you do it? I therefore design and deliver learning with all this in mind. I sincerely want people to develop and grow in ways that best suit them – I want everyone to win the game of learning’.

We’re a friendly, and highly professional team.
Our approach is always focused on:

You and your needs

Customer Service is not old fashioned, we put you first, adapt on the run and communicate regularly.

Building trusted partnerships

We’re the kind of people that
‘Do what we say we will’.
You can trust and rely on us.

The Heart and Soul

We don’t apply templates and cookie cutter ideas; we pour our energy and passion into each unique project.

Optimising learners’ time

We use technology and blended learning approaches to cut learning time and get to competence quickly.

Maximising learners’ brains

The human brain is an amazing gift, and we incorporate techniques that capitalise on its natural and learned capabilities.

Thinking outside the box

Our massive experience across many industries and many projects enables us to consult: broad and deep.

Services

We partner with you to achieve the
learning difference you need

That could be developing a capability framework, designing a bespoke training program or developing some unique digital learning assets. We consult and collaborate, so we get to know your needs and then advise on “best solutions’.

In person learning workshops and webinars

We custom design, develop and facilitate in-person sessions to meet your specific objectives, OR coach your own teams and subject matter experts to be expert facilitators of your programs.

Learning pathways and Capability frameworks

Do you need help with the bigger picture? We are experts at determining the capabilities to meet your goals, identifying gaps, and designing learning pathways to develop your people.

eLearning and digital learning assets

Whether it’s an animated explainer tool, an eLearn, video or a micro learning byte - we’ve got you covered. Our learners love learning through visual media formats on their phone, tablet or PC.
