A positive culture shift: Enhancing performance management skills
At a leading financial institution with the largest branch network on the high street in the UK, we are working to enhance the skills of 2000 participants in the delivery of formal and informal performance management conversations. This key initiative is required to build the skills and culture in which their teams can flourish.
This pivotal training programme aims to shift the culture at the firm, including the adoption of a new set of values. The programme, which is being delivered over 14-months, is being rolled out by our team of 15 dedicated and skilled facilitators, all experienced in providing in-the-moment feedback, facilitation and roleplay.
Creating a successful environment driven by authentic leadership
From its formation in 1943, National Milk Records has grown and developed into an integrated service provider focused on the delivery of services that help to build a sustainable, efficient, and profitable dairy industry in the UK.
Me Learning provided training to help their managers and leaders learn how to take accountability and become more decisive and accountable. A key goal of the training was to help build a culture of success and enhance their skills following strategic changes in their leadership and operations.
With this significant change impacting the entire business, the training we provided involved:
- Purposeful practice of a range of influencing techniques.
- Individual feedback to inform a personal development plan.
- Helping leaders inspire teams towards shared goals.
- How to differentiate leadership from day-to-day delivery.
Empowering new starters: Transformative behavioural training for professional success
One of the ‘big four’ global professional services networks, relies on Me Learning for their annual training for graduate entrants in the UK. Each year, we co-run a five-week intensive training programme so new joiners build behavioural and technical skills to succeed in the workplace.
We work with new entrants working across all service lines – audit, tax, consultancy – and we work on an ad hoc basis to provide additional support on leadership skills and coaching across the business. Our training is tailored to help new starters build core skills that are vital for the evolving demands of today’s working environment and economic landscape.

London & Partners is the business growth and destination agency for London. Me Learning delivered a development course curated for their leaders and managers who had differing abilities and experience in leadership and management.
The purpose of the course was to address their leadership gaps, ensure best practices, and decrease employee turnover. To encourage their leaders to drive optimal performance and provide leadership when it matters most, the course involved:
- Situational Influencing.
- Unconscious bias training.
- Feedback skills.
- Delegation skills.
- Coaching skills.
Roleplay to develop and select future partners
At a global law firm, we provide roleplay at an assessment centre for future partners as well as ongoing support for a broader cohort of leaders developing communication skills. Particularly when working with future partners, it is essential that our facilitators have the skills to offer detailed, in-the-moment feedback and that they understand how to demonstrate these skills within a business context.
Also, our core leadership programme, designed to help participants maximise their impact at work, focuses on the use of mindset, body language and voice for communication as well as techniques to influence others. This was rated the firms’ most popular programme in the last 15 years by participants.
