The challenge
Members of the Simply Business team were so focused on day-to-day technical solutions and customer issues that their roles as people managers often came second place.
The result
PRO gave team members the chance to actually practise some of their upcoming performance conversations. They all walked away more confident and prepared.
“Excellent session that allowed me to practise a difficult conversation in a safe space. Chris was great and dialled up his approach to provide a more challenging scenario. Thank you!”
Martin Allen, Senior Agile Delivery Manager, Simply Business
The challenge
How do you remember training techniques months later, when you actually need to use them? That was the challenge that many senior managers faced at BDO.
The result
The PRO sessions not only helped BDO team members come away with really useful storytelling techniques, but they also let them practise those techniques when it mattered most.
“A fabulous experience. I was made to feel at ease and learned new techniques and tips on how to improve my own storytelling, not only at work but in my personal life. Thank you.”
Susan Berry, Head of Personal Insolvency, BDO
The challenge
Having performance conversations after team absence isn't easy. Hitachi managers needed a more empathetic and simple way to approach these conversations.
The result
Working with PRO was a real eye-opener for Hitachi - the Practice Coaches not only made the sessions feel real but the feedback they gave was also extremely actionable for all managers, whether they were experienced or not.
“Thank you so much Abi - I enjoyed this session and took away some great pointers for future conversations with my team.”
Jo Lockwood, Complaints Manager, Hitachi
