WHAT WE DO
Three connected areas.
We work across three connected areas: developing people, shaping ideas and creating experiences. Most of the challenges we are asked to help with need more than one. Our job is to work out which, and to bring them together around the outcome.
People are busy, but priorities are unclear and activity is not turning into progress.
Fluent: hands-on AI training that gives people their time back.
A strategy, change or new direction needs people to understand it and act on it.
Structured programmes that help new talent perform in demanding professional environments.
New talent and newly promoted leaders need to perform sooner.
Programmes that strengthen decision-making, communication and team performance.
A bid, pitch or proposal has to win support.
Learning consultancy, programme design and experiential workshops, facilitated in person or online.
Teams have new tools and ways of working, but habits have not changed.
Short films, explainers and motion graphics for learning and internal communication.
A programme, launch or event needs to be remembered and acted on.
Compel presentation training, plus pitch, proposal and presentation design that ends with a clear ask.
Something else? Start a conversation and we will help you define it.

OUR PRINCIPLES
What we believe.
These shape every engagement, whatever the challenge.
Start with the challenge, not the product.
The right answer depends on the problem.
Fluent: hands-on AI training that gives people their time back.
People learn by doing.
Experience changes behaviour more than information does.
Structured programmes that help new talent perform in demanding professional environments.
Practical beats impressive.
If people cannot use it the next day, it has not worked.
Programmes that strengthen decision-making, communication and team performance.
THE FOUNDER
Mark Holmes, founder
I spent more than 15 years in sales and commercial leadership before moving into learning and development in 2015. Since then I have worked with global brands, charities and financial services firms.
Since 2023 I have led multi-year graduate and leadership programmes for global financial services firms. I also designed a CEO programme from scratch for senior executives from the Middle East, delivered in London to three cohorts.
I work on the whole engagement: finding out what needs to change, designing the journey, bringing in the right experts and facilitators, and reviewing what worked.
