Train with us
Too many interventions are based on blunt, one-size-fits-all approaches. But your group’s social fitness needs are unique.
We use precise diagnostic tools and bespoke training interventions to save you time and achieve more effective results. That way we can focus on the changes that will make the biggest improvements to you.
Our Training Services
A structured assessment of your people’s collective social fitness. This leads to a clear report of where you stand, where the biggest opportunities lie, and what to do next to really make a difference.
One-to-one consultancy to co-design behaviours, processes, and rituals that you can integrate into the day-to-day of how your people interact. We can provide one-off advisory sessions or year-long retainer support.
Active skills training in the specific relational muscles needed for great group dynamics, with options both for leaders and participants. We offer both short masterclasses and multi-week programmes.
Who we train
MANAGERS
“My team just doesn’t seem to ‘click’: lots of skilled people working next to each other, rather than with each other.”
“Despite being really capable, my juniors never seem to take initiative for anything.”
“I’ve inherited a team, and they seem to have a history and habits that I don’t understand.”
START-UP FOUNDERS
“I need to build a team that can work very effectively together, fast.”
“We’re hiring lots of people in the coming months, and I want to feel confident our culture and values are stable enough to withstand the growth.”
“All my time now seems to be taken up with managing people.”
COMMUNITY LEADERS
“All our meetings seem to get bogged down in politics and bickering; we never seem to make much progress.”
“The same small group of people seem to do everything, and the group can’t seem to grow beyond the energy of their commitment.”
“The initial spark for our cause seems to have faded: what was an impassioned movement now runs like a routine.”
INDIVIDUALS
“Even the idea of joining a group activity makes me feel anxious - let alone running one! I’m just not good outside of 1-2-1s.”
“Technically I’m part of a team, but I feel like a permanent outsider and none of my contributions seem to land.”
“I’m new to this area, and am really struggling to feel like I ‘belong’ and to build a sense of community.”
C-SUITE | HEADS OF PEOPLE
“There feels like there’s a lot of latent conflict in the office, but I can’t put my finger on what the issue is.”
“We’ve gone through some big changes as an organisation, and we’re not sure how to move on from them.”
“Everyone talks about collaborating in theory, but in practice the silos between departments feel hard and fast.”
HOSTS & FACILITATORS
“We run gatherings that are full of life, but then nothing seems to happen - no connections outlive the day.”
“I really want to run events that draw in lots of different types of people, but we can’t seem to make that happen.”
“I don’t know how to (politely) handle a situation where there’s a really loud or dominant character in the room.”
“I 100% recommend this to friends and colleagues. The approach to identifying important issues was very clear.”

How training works
Like any fitness journey, social fitness training follows your priorities. Start at the beginning with a benchmark, or jump in to address a particular issue.
1. DIAGNOSE
Begin with a Fitness Test for an independent assessment that looks at your organisation’s social fitness in the round.
2. DESIGN
Use Org PT to re-imagine the practices and contextual choices that dramatically influence how people interact.
3. WORKOUT
Build vital group relational skills through sessions that develop your people’s capabilities in measurable ways.
How we work
EVIDENCE-BASED: Everything we do draws on research and best practice from psychology, sociology, behavioural design and the cognitive sciences — translated into practical, real-world training.
BESPOKE: There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to our content. We’ll tailor our advice and our practices to your organisation, your priorities, and your values. We are also careful to ensure we don’t duplicate any work that has already been done, and complement the efforts you are already making.
MEASURABLE: We focus on real, observable change. Not everything that matters can be counted, but we will always agree with you how we will know when we are succeeding, and track our progress against those benchmarks.
Need to know
Starting is simple: contact us and we can arrange a free and confidential 30-minute call. We'll talk through your situation, check there's a fit, and set out clear options and pricing for your context — with no obligation to proceed.
We work online and in person, with individuals, teams, organisations and communities. We are London-based, but are happy to travel throughout the UK and internationally.
You'll need to do your reps. There are no silver bullets — building social fitness takes consistent practice, just like physical fitness. But we often see meaningful improvements even from small changes when they are well-designed.
We train; we don't treat. This isn't psychotherapy, and we are clear on the boundaries between coaching and counselling. If something comes up that's better addressed by a psychotherapist, we can point you to experts we trust and recommend.
We work with adults (18+). We don't currently work with children or younger people, though we hope to in the future.
Not sure if this is what you need? Please drop us a line and we can discuss - in confidence and with no obligation - whether our services are suitable for you.
