ABOUT

Rehearse the hard stuff.
Save time, money, and face.

We specialise in training delegates and management staff for real life workplace conversations that demand care, clarity and confidence.

​

​Our focus is on the moments that matter most: sensitive one-to-ones, disciplinary conversations, performance reviews, and team meetings. Too many managers are thrown into high-stakes conversations without ever practising them first, and these are often where issues begin, with a careless comment, a poor choice of language, or a clumsy attempt to address behaviour. When handled incorrectly, these situations often quickly escalate into formal grievances, legal disputes or resignations. It’s rarely due to lack of effort, it’s down to a lack of proper training. We prepare your team to handle these conversations correctly, early, and with confidence.

​

Using professional actors and bespoke scenarios, we run live roleplays that simulate high-stakes conversations in a safe but realistic environment. Each session is repeated with multiple actors, ensuring managers can’t rely on memorised scripts, but instead build real behavioural confidence. This can then be topped up with feedback from our trained Legal and ER/HR specialists. 

​

We work with the best actors across the UK, who regularly work in High-End Television, Feature Films and across the West End, meaning each roleplay truly feels like the real thing.
