Your About Life Team
We are a passionate collective of learning practitioners with considerable cross-industry experience in the learning sciences, performance management/leadership, organisational culture development – and embedded literacy.
We have learnt that people don’t change because you tell them something, give them information or send them on a training programme – and so we approach learning initiatives as a journeyed experiential process as opposed to a one-off event.
