Here's why small group leadership coaching works.
Over seven years, we’ve built the most successful small group leadership coaching business in Australia. This page describes why small group coaching works brilliantly for leadership training - and the lessons we've learned to maximise its success.
Participant experience (PX) is a big part of that (Download our Guide to PX).We're enthusiastic about small group coaching because participants themselves tell us it’s the best leadership training they’ve ever had. We’d highly recommend small group and PX to all organisations, large or small.
