Upskilling Your Team with a Blended Learning Program

This training program has been developed to be an engaging and effective blended learning program. It uses online learning and support modules with key learning outcomes, as well as live on-site workshops to reinforce the key learnings from the program.

Individual participants can learn at their own pace while also having interactive opportunities with fellow team members also going through the program. The program also has a live element to consolidate learning and ensure participants are putting the skills they learn through the program into action. 

The online component of the program is delivered on a world-class learning platform designed for maximum engagement and learning outcomes.

Create a Storytelling Culture that Makes a Material Difference to the Bottom Line

Increase your team's awareness around the softer skills of sales and communication that directly move the needle on all the other metrics that matter.

 

Online Learning Modules

A new module is released each month for participants to complete at their own pace. The online learning modules are all video-based with activities and interactive key learning review elements. Each learning module is 25 minutes in total length, broken down into bite-sized video modules (approx. 3 minutes each) for more effective learning. 

Email Learning and Support

Supplementary to video learning modules, each participant will receive email support to motivate and give practical direction on applying the learnings of that month's module. 

Live On-Site Workshops

The program includes two live workshops at the halfway point (approx. six-month mark) and a final workshop at the end of the program. This will enable participants to showcase their learning through group activities and feedback regarding their storytelling skills. These workshops will also provide inspiration and practical guidance on how participants can continue to develop their storytelling and communication skills in the future.
