What past participants say

The biggest difference with this programme is that everything I worked on became part of my role straight away. The coaching and templates helped me create a strategy I could use day-to-day, not just a theory. My team and I are already implementing changes that have improved how we partner with the business.
Head of ta
I loved that the course wasn’t just about learning, it was about doing. Each week I took something from the sessions and applied it immediately — whether it was clarifying metrics for the board or shaping our EVP. By the end I had a polished strategy I was confident presenting to our leadership team.

This course gave me the framework I’d been missing for years. It connected the dots between business goals and talent acquisition in a way that clicked instantly. Having a clear roadmap and board-ready presentation has completely changed the way I’m perceived internally. I wish I’d had this earlier in my career

It’s a 12-week journey, but you set the pace. Most participants choose weekly sessions, but you can go bi-weekly or pause for annual leave — it flexes completely around your calendar.

What's the time commitment

On average, 2 per week: 30 minutes with your coach plus time to apply the tools and frameworks. If you spread sessions out, the workload flexes with you.
