imagine learning differently

Learn to Lead is a small, innovative training company that designs and delivers 3D full-sensory, interactive learning experiences. These experiences create the perfect context for extraordinary ‘a-ha moments’ that initially change mindsets but ultimately change behaviour. For over 10 years, we have combined logic and magic to delight and engage our learners in their professional development.

If it involves inspiring great attitudes, building functional knowledge or improving productive behaviours, we can help you IMAGINE LEARNING DIFFERENTLY.

What We Do

Learn to Lead offers a wide range of corporate learning solutions via our three operating arms, namely Training Room, Design Studio and Assessment Centre.

Our Methodology

So what makes our training different? Simply put, it is the way we see things. We have adopted two unusual perspectives to training that set us apart from our competition.

The first is our unwavering commitment to learning as a process rather than an event, which is the exact reason we created LearnPOD and our 3D Process Model.

The second is our passion for making the training room a place that people want to be with our considerable collection of engagement strategies, frame-games, interactive processes, RealPLAY’s, flipped classrooms, lecturettes and ever popular brain-flexing jolts.

Learn Pod

Our LearnPOD delivers a 3D Learning Solution which is targeted, experiential and ongoing. It origins are based on research done in 1992 by Broad and Newstrom revealing the key-relationships at the different stages of any intervention. We also borrow from the learnings of Ebbinghaus’s Curve of Forgetting which has been universally shown to increase the success (and return on investment) of any intervention if 3 critical relationships are cultivated.

Assessment Centre

“What gets measured, gets done!” At Learn to Lead we believe that the workshop is just one element of the real behavior change, which means what happens after is really the most important part. Assessment Centre will provide you with assessments, both technological (e.g. MPower, Clarity4D) and practical (e.g. Entegr8, Leaders in Action)), to ensure maximum retention, understanding and application of content.

Entegr8

E-Learning means convenience, cost-effectiveness and reach! So if your skills development strategy involves e-learning, then you need Entegr8, our new e-learning incubator.
