Our passion is helping people thrive
performance learning designed for business professionals
HOW WE WORK
applying the right approach
At PBLD we offer skills-based coaching and training for business professionals. We come from a performance background and often use interactive techniques to bring learning to life. Above all we encourage business people to grow and develop through the practical application of behavioural and interpersonal skills.
COACHING
As qualified and skilled executive coaches, our work in this area is based on many years of experience. We help senior leaders and business professionals develop skills and fulfil their potential.
Our coaching philosophy is to enable and encourage agency. This is enhanced by a strong background in areas of leadership such as personal impact, influencing skills, managing conflict and developing resilience.
WORKSHOPS
Our workshops (virtual and in-person) are always interactive and engaging.
We firmly believe in using well-researched and credible models, techniques and constructs. These are underpinned by an approach that is always practical and applicable back in the workplace.
Our interactive and practical exercises bring the learning to life.
BLENDED LEARNING
Our programs are often in a hybrid form — blending face-to-face and virtual workshops with bite-sized learning elements, coaching and role-play. Most importantly we match the format and medium to the needs of the learner enabling business people to access their training through a range of different approaches and techniques.
Our aim is always to ensure rapid uptake and deployment back at work.
