Master of Talent Development

accelerating skill development, driving business value   

A shocking 45% of learning doesn’t translate to change in the workplace (according McKinsey)

Accelerating soft skills development is a potent driver of learning and development success, yielding immediate business benefits like increased turnover, innovation, and enhanced customer value. This approach tangibly reflects your talent and leadership strategy in the workforce.

Organizations often grapple with helping individuals overcome ingrained habits and managing challenging emotions, like fear, shame, and loss of control, post-soft skills training. These emotional hurdles can stall the learning process.

Our training empowers employees to take control of their learning journey, fostering competence in areas that create value for both individuals and the organization. This includes goal setting, effective learning strategies, competency selection, and mastering the dynamics of learning and unlearning.

Our approach draws on extensive experience in transforming highly educated professionals in prestigious organizations like ABN-Amro, Google, PwC, and Cognizant. Furthermore, it is grounded in four decades of Ph.D. research in skills development and expertise from lecturing at a renowned business school.
