Your teams will love us

Our global team of instructors and coaches are experts in their fields, including leadership and management, DE&I, change management, conflict management, and more.

I loved the small group in this class and doing the breakout room exercises as a full group with the coach present.
It really helped to solidify the learnings to have the moderator talk through the “breakout” room and ask questions while in process.
Our session was very well planned and executed.
The session was very interactive and the conversations valuable.
I always wish the classes were longer!
My coach was a great instructor and she fit a lot of material in a short amount of time.
As an HR leader who is continually introducing change, I have been exhausted by the amount of resistance that I’ve been up against.
The coach was wonderful! Very friendly, vulnerable, and welcoming. The session went by lightning fast.
I wish the class had been longer than an hour!
But the hour gave me an opportunity to understand how to frame my current work in terms of an objective and key results that matter and how to plan actions to achieve the objective.
We had a dynamic, engaging, and thoughtful review of how we can embrace one another’s humanity in the workplace.
As my coach said, it’s critical that we place people at the center of the workplace. This class was an exercise in how we can sustainably approach this critical work.
The class was very informative and well-facilitated.
I appreciate being able to participate in break-out rooms which fostered excellent conversations and ideas.
This class really opened my eyes to what microaggressions are and how prevalent they are in society.
I am thrilled with the skills I learned to both recognize the issue when it is occurring and also how to approach the situation so that the problem not only stops, but does not happen again.
The class was a great combination of interactive parts & learning theory.
It gave me some actual strategies to take away and use.
This was very helpful in giving me ideas and tools for how to have discussions with my management about my career path as an individual contributor.
This class gave me a new perspective on how I can use my high energy times to get the most value out of my day and not to take for granted the bodies need for rest and recovery.
Time is finite but energy is renewable.
This class gave me a new perspective on how I can use my high energy times to get the most value out of my day and not to take for granted the bodies need for rest and recovery.
Really relevant and insightful content.
The presentation is very clear and to the point. It has effective methods and resources to apply the knowledge immediately. The coach was excellent!
Our coach asked really empowering questions while teaching us to ask them ourselves.
This course opened my eyes to new ideas and reinstated some ideas that I had forgotten about.
I had an amazing coach who was able to seamlessly and flawlessly adapt to changing dynamics within the class.
Having more Hone classes under my belt truly helps me appreciate the intersection of how we ask questions, react to conflict, change, and other aspects of our lives and how they all impact our various relationships.
Members of this class were all at different levels of their journey and our coach did a wonderful job of creating a shared space for all to learn from.
