Everything a manager needs to handle the hard stuff well. Physical tools they will actually reach for, and an online platform that builds the skill behind them. One toolkit, on the desk and in the pocket.
The difficult conversation. The under-performer everyone can see but no one addresses. The grievance that could have been a quiet chat three weeks earlier.
They do not need another course they will have forgotten by Friday. They need the right tool in the moment, and the confidence to use it. That is what the toolkit is for.
Physical tools for the moment it matters, and an online platform that turns a one-off fix into a lasting habit.
The card decks and the handbook. A stepped, informal way to navigate a performance issue before it ever becomes a formal one. And a handbook covering all the basics managers need.
16 courses, audiobooks, 360s, a self-assessment healthcheck, AI practice tools and ready-to-run Lunch & Learns. The skill behind the tools.
A deck of cards tackling 99 of the difficult issues managers face every day, each with a clear four-step process so they can act with clarity and confidence.
All the basics a manager needs all in one place, with courses and feedback tools one scan of a QR code away
Everything inside embed'd works from the same handbook, so the cards on the desk and the learning on screen tell one consistent story. With more on the way.
Short, practical courses across the five habits of an accountable manager. Watch, apply, come back to.
Every course as audio, so managers can learn on the commute or the school run. No screen needed.
Choose a traditional 360, or use our Behaviour Insight tool to reveal natural behaviour styles. Both are accessible by scanning a QR code!
Light-touch feedback from a link in the email signature. No campaign to run, just a steady read on how they land.
Managers score themselves against the key outcomes in the handbook, and see exactly where to focus next.
A ready-to-run series your team can deliver themselves. Facilitator packs, slides and workbooks, done for you.
Practise the hard conversation before you have it. An AI partner plays the other side, out loud, so your managers can rehearse a tricky chat as many times as they need, then get scored on how they landed it.
Someone to turn to when the conversation is hard, so they act early and act fairly instead of hoping it goes away.
360 Live and the Healthcheck show where a manager is strong and where a nudge would help, without a heavy review cycle.
Most training gives you an attendance register. You get completion, feedback, healthcheck scores and AI practice, all in one place.
"It gives our managers something to actually reach for when they are stuck, instead of another policy to read."
Head of People, housing associationEvery card, every course, every page of the handbook runs on one method. One consistent way to manage, across all your managers.
You probably have some good managers. The trouble is the consistency.
One manager is great, the next isn't, and yet they all attended the same training.
None of it shows up in a report. All of it costs you.
Management training can cover a lot of ground. Influencing, change, commercial awareness. Useful, but they can't come at the expense of the day-to-day of managing people. The people part is the hard bit, and it's where we go deep.
Our approach also balances safety and accountability. People need to feel safe enough to own a mistake, or they hide it. But safety alone just means everyone is pleasant and nothing improves. The method keeps both.
You can't hold someone to a standard nobody told them about.
We have to make sure we do our bit super well, including making sure the right support is in place.
There's a lot of room between saying nothing and ringing HR. We give managers a step by step informal process to do the groundwork properly.
Stick to what happened and keep it about the work. Address the issue with genuine support and genuine accountability, rather than making it personal.
Practical, not theory. The words to use, the order to use them in, and a card in their hand.

The foundations. Where every manager starts.
Deeper courses for the situations that need more than the basics.
