+ What we do: L+D Support

At Praxis there is one thing we’re incredibly passionate about and that’s performance through people. At the heart of the practical support we offer organisations, is experience helping demonstrate and measure the impact learning is having.

Being able to demonstrate your measurable impact enables you to have the sort of c-suite conversations that will ensure learning is a front and centre priority.

To do this we can work with you at each stage of the learning cycle to ensure all the bases are covered.


Define what’s important – If you haven’t defined what it is you want to change and what difference it will make to performance, how will you demonstrate the impact you’re having? Defining learning need is no longer just about aims and objectives, it’s now about ‘learning analystics,’ it’s time to engage with the world of data and metrics.

We can help you navigate this new landscape by helping define the performance indicators and behaviours you’re seeking to influence and change. Only when you’ve defined how these outcomes can be measured will you be able to prove the impact your learning strategy and plans are having.


Design for the Learner – Identifying ‘what’ is only one part the overall equation, the second element is ‘how’. How will you deliver your learning in a way that engages and inspires learning, that empowers and enables individuals to make the sustained changes you want to see?

Contemporary learning design focuses on the learning experience. It treats learners like consumers and seek to provide learning that feels personalised and individually focused. Workplace learning can no longer rely on ‘chalk and talk’ but must recognise the shift not just in learning technologies but also in learners’ expectations.

Built on a several decades of building impactful learning experiences, we understand not only the importance of effective learning design. We also understand and have experience of the shifting sands created by the need to be ‘digital first’. We can work with you to build learning programmes, courses and resources that utilise the blend of traditional, technological and informal learning approaches. Our designs reflect the new digital landscape and the needs of the modern learner.


Engage to Deliver – Whilst there is an increasing shift towards enabling learners to take charge of their own learning and the rapid digitisation of learning resources there is still a very real need to facilitate learning face-to-face, be that physically or virtually.

Being able to support learning in real time through expert facilitation and content presentation is a core skill of ours. As a result of facilitating and delivering thousands of hours of learning support to groups, teams and individuals we understand and have the skills that are needed to help learners engage, to encourage commitment and prepare the foundations for effective learning transfer back into the workplace.


Measure the Impact – Closing the circle by asking a simple question - Has the learning worked? A question often glossed over in the rush to deliver the next initiative. We can help you join up the dots between learning aims and performance impact.

Using readily available learner data we can help understand how and where workplace performance has changed. By establishing simple metrics and measurement processes we can offer insight into areas of strength and areas where further development would be a benefit. Providing insight that not only helps the case for future investment in learning but offers understanding about what works and what doesn’t in a practical and pragmatic way.

+ What we do: L+D Specialisms

Digital Transformation – the events of 2020 may have accelerated the shift to digital for learning, but the slow revolution of digitally enabled learning goes much further back than that. Our experience of supporting organisations successfully navigate this transition enables us to offer support to those organisations who are in the midst of their journey towards digital based learning. We have both the knowledge and the experience to help you make sense of this potentially overly-complicated environment.


Team & Group Coaching – working in groups and teams can be a challenge at the best of times. When overlaid with the difficulties of remote working, those challenges can be easily compounded. Sometimes all a team needs to unlock an issues or a problem is an alternative perspective. Using our many years of experience of facilitating teams and groups, coupled with the skills of coaching Praxis can provide both the process and objectivity sometimes needed to empower a team or group move forward.


Individual Performance Coaching – At times everyone can benefit from taking a moment to look at what they’re doing and the impact they’re having from a different perspective. Our individual performance coaching can do just that. We support individuals to look at where and how they can do things differently. Our goal is to help them realise their own potential and use that new insight to act.


Mental Toughness - Developing the Resilient Workforce – Mental toughness is about how effectively individuals deal with stress, pressure and challenge. It describes the mindset that every person adopts in everything they do and is closely related to qualities such as character, resilience and grit.

Mental toughness coaching uses a fully licenced psychometric tool called MTQ. Whereas most psychometrics focus on the measurement of behaviours (how we act) and attributes (how we feel) – the MTQ looks at how we think which is a key driver for the development of behaviour and attributes.

Research carried out by leading psychologist Professor Peter Clough has identified the four key components of mental toughness. These are called the 4 Cs – Control, Commitment, Challenge and Confidence.

Mental Toughness is a personality trait which determines, in some part, how individuals perform when exposed to stressors, pressure, opportunity and challenge. It can be a key factor in enabling individuals to perform at the peak of their abilities. Mental Toughness coaching uses the MTQ to develop the behaviours and actions necessary to support the development of your mental toughness.


Personal Insight Using Pyschometrics – As an aid to helping individuals and teams understand better why they make some of the choices they do and explore how and where they may be able to make different ones the insight psychometric tools can offer be extremely valuable. Praxis is licensed to work with a deliver a range of psychometric tools each of which will help explore different aspects of individual behaviour and preference. Through feedback and coaching we help individuals and teams (where appropriate) to make sense of this insight and use it to positively affect personal change.
