We build confident managers and resilient teams with practical leadership development & training programs. 

We help people become better leaders. Our programs build skills in leadership, resilience, and wellbeing so that performance is strong and sustainable.

We work with managers and teams to make leadership practical and simple (not easy). Leaders learn how to set clear goals, have better conversations, and support people under pressure. The result is stronger leaders, healthier teams, and cultures that can grow.

We do this through one-off workshops that give people the tools they need right away, as well as longer programs that run over six months. This way, teams can choose a quick boost or a deeper change that builds lasting habits.

the world’s most recognised companies trust us to grow their leaders and teams

Who we are and what we do 

In Bloom is a team of ex-corporate leaders who saw great companies struggle with culture, leadership, and wellbeing. We learned that when leaders thrive, their teams and organisations do too.

We believe that strong leadership is more than hitting performance targets. It’s about building resilience, supporting wellbeing, and creating cultures where people can grow. That’s why we combine leadership development with wellbeing and resilience. We think this is a mix that few others bring together.

As an extension of your team, we work closely with you to design and deliver programs that fit the way your people work today. Whether through one-off workshops or six-month leadership pathways, we help shape the leaders and cultures that drive lasting performance.

How Effective Is Leadership Development Training?

Let’s be honest. No one wants another training day where everyone nods, takes notes, and then forgets everything by the next weel. If leadership training doesn’t stick, it’s just time away from work.

That’s why we design our programs to actually work. How?

• `We keep it practical. Leaders leave with tools they can use the very next day. Not theory. Not fluff. Just things that work in real conversations and meetings.

• We use proven frameworks. We lean on simple, powerful ideas from Scaling Up, Resilience First Aid, Patrick Lencioni, and dozens of other frameworks. We mix these with our own tools. It’s not reinventing the wheel; it’s making sure the wheel actually turns.

• We follow through. A one-off workshop can be great, but lasting change takes time. That’s why we offer longer programs, coaching, and check-ins. It’s like going to the gym: one session is fine, but regular sessions build strength.

• We track real results. Engagement improves. Trust grows. Meetings get shorter. Decisions get clearer. Leaders feel more steady under pressure.

• We back it up with proof. If you’d like, we’ll introduce you directly to a customer. That way, you can hear first-hand how our programs worked for them and what’s changed in their business since.

One of our clients put it well in a feedback form, they wrote: “This didn’t just inspire people for a day. Our leaders are still using what they learned more than six months later.”

So yes, it works. But only if you believe that leadership development should be simple, practical, and human. That’s our sweet spot.

Will This training Program Fit Our Industry, Company and Team?

Every company is different. A law firm doesn’t run like a start-up. A global brand doesn’t face the same challenges as a local family business. So the big question is: Will this training fit us?

Here’s our answer: we make sure it does.

• We tailor it. We learn about your team, your industry, and your challenges. Then we shape the training to match.

• We use your world. The examples, stories, and exercises are about your context. Not made-up case studies about a company no one has heard of.

• We fit your stage. Whether you’re growing fast, going through change, or need a cultural reset, we adjust our approach.

• We flex the format. One-day workshop? Two-day offsite? Six-month journey? We’ll design it around what works for your leaders.

• We read the room. Some teams love open conversations. Some want structure. Our facilitators adapt on the spot so it feels natural for your people.

One leader told us after a session: “That didn’t feel like generic training. It felt like it was built for us.” That leader also made a comment saying she likes we used some company photos in the slide deck. That’s the goal every time.

We believe leadership training only works if it feels real. And “real” means it sounds like your team, looks like your challenges, and helps with what’s on your desk right now.

What Makes In Bloom’s workshops and Training Unique?

There are plenty of companies out there running training programs. Some are great. Some just hand you a 200-slide deck and call it a day. So why choose us?

Here’s what makes In Bloom different:

• We connect resilience, wellbeing, and leadership. Most training companies focus on either leadership skills or wellbeing. We combine both. Because if leaders burn out, they can’t execute strategy.

• We use simple frameworks that stick. Scaling Up and The Table Group give us clear, proven tools. We strip away the jargon and keep only what’s practical.

• We make it about your context. Your industry, your team, your challenges. No cookie-cutter content.

• We’re human. We keep sessions engaging, interactive, and yes, even fun. (You’ll never sit through eight hours of monotone lectures with us. Life’s too short.)

• We prove it. If you want reassurance, we’ll happily introduce you to one of our customers so you can hear directly from them.

• We’ve got the numbers to back it up. We’ve collected nearly 1,000 feedback forms from participants so far. On the key question, “Would you recommend this training?” our average score is 4.3 out of 5. Not bad for a world where most people struggle to agree on pizza toppings.

At the end of the day, our edge is this: we don’t see leadership training as a box to tick. We see it as an opportunity to build stronger leaders who can perform well and live well. That’s a rare combination.

Our Leadership Trainers: Experienced, Practical, and Human

The truth is, the quality of leadership training lives and dies by who’s in the front of the room. If the facilitator is dull, disconnected, or all theory and no practice, your leaders will switch off fast.

Here’s who we bring to the table:

• Experienced leaders. Our facilitators have been in leadership roles themselves. They know the reality of tough decisions, busy teams, and high-stakes moments.

• Skilled trainers. They’re not just ex-managers telling stories. They’re trained in facilitation, able to engage a room, spark discussions, and bring out the best in people.

• Practical minds. They focus on tools and strategies leaders can use right away; not abstract concepts.

• Relatable humans. They keep it warm, simple, and sometimes even funny (often even!). Because learning lands better when people are enjoying themselves.

• Credible guides. If you want to check their impact, we can connect you with companies they’ve worked with before.

As one participant told us in his feedback form: “I came in sceptical; I wasn’t sure a half-day on resilience would help us, I felt it was too broad a topic. Within 15 minutes, I was leaning in and taking notes. It felt like they understood exactly what my job is like. And I did learn a lot.”

That’s the standard we hold all our facilitators to. Real leaders, delivering real training, that makes a real impact.

How Is Our Leadership Training Structured?

One of the first things people ask is: “So what does the training actually look like?”

The good news: it’s flexible. We know not every team can step away for the same amount of time, so we build the structure around what works for you.

But flexible doesn’t mean vague. Every format we deliver has a clear structure, and you’ll know what it looks like well before the day. We share our workshop format and agenda with you ahead of time and capture your comments, feedback, and ideas. By the time we run the session, it feels like it was built for your team.

Here are the main ways we deliver leadership training:

• One-off workshops. Half-day or full-day sessions to dive into a specific topic, like resilience, communication, or leading through change. Great for focus and quick wins.

• Offsites. One or two days away from the office for strategy, alignment, and team building. A reset button with lasting impact.

• Leadership journeys. Multi-month programs (often 6 months) with workshops, coaching, and check-ins. Perfect for deeper growth and lasting change.

• One-to-one coaching. Personalised guidance for senior leaders who want targeted support.

• Blended approaches. Some clients start with a workshop, then extend into coaching or a journey.

We’ll help you choose the right mix. The key is that it fits your leaders, your schedule, and your goals.

One participant put it well: “I liked that it wasn’t one-and-done. We had time to try things out, come back, and keep building.”

How to Make Leadership Development Stick Long-Term

This is the big worry: “Won’t everyone just forget this after a week?”

It’s a fair point. Lots of leadership programs feel inspiring in the moment, but the glow fades once the inbox fills up. That’s why we’ve designed our training to stick.

Here’s how we keep momentum going:

• Simple tools. Leaders leave with one-page plans, checklists, and conversation guides. No 200-page manuals that gather dust.

• Follow-up sessions. We check in with your team after workshops or offsites to refresh key ideas and tackle new challenges.

• Resilience practices. We build habits like resets and reflections into the program, so leaders keep their energy steady long after the training ends.

• Manager support. We coach leaders on how to support their own teams, so the ripple effect continues.

• Regular rhythms. We help teams set weekly and quarterly check-ins to keep goals alive.

One client told us: “We used to get excited about training for a week, then it vanished. This time, the practices stuck and they became part of how we lead. But ut was more work, and I’m glad we put the extra effort in.”

Our job isn’t just to run a great day. It’s to make sure your leaders still feel the impact months later.

What Outcomes Can You Expect From Leadership Training?

The honest truth: leadership training isn’t like fixing a machine. You can’t measure every outcome in neat percentages. But you can see the difference in how leaders show up, how teams run, and how decisions get made.

Here are the outcomes you can expect from our programs:

• Clearer decisions. Leaders stop circling the same issues and start acting.

• Better teamwork. More trust. More honest conversations. Less politics.

• Higher engagement. Teams feel supported and connected to direction.

• Steadier leaders. Resilience habits mean leaders have more energy and less burnout.

• Practical results. Meetings shorten. Priorities sharpen. Execution speeds up.

We’re upfront about ROI: it’s not simple to measure with leadership training. But focusing only on ROI can miss the point. The real question is: are your leaders working better together, and are your teams performing more smoothly? If the answer is yes, and it usually is, then the impact will show up in everything from retention to productivity.

In a recent conversation with a customer when we asked them this question, they said something along the lines: “It’s not just that our leaders are better. The whole organisation feels the lift.”

What will my leaders think of it?

This is a fair thing to worry about. No one wants to roll out training that makes senior leaders roll their eyes. This will make you look bad internally and worse, will make the organisation doubt the effectiveness of training in the future.

Our programs are built for real leaders, not classrooms. You will have your input into it, which will improve what is already a great product. That means:

• It’s practical. Leaders get tools they can actually use, not abstract theories.

• It’s engaging. Sessions are interactive, with real conversations. (No death by PowerPoint.)

• It’s respectful. We know leaders are busy. We focus only on what’s worth their time.

• It’s human. There’s room for humour, stories, and honesty. Leaders don’t feel talked down to.

We’ve had plenty of sceptics walk into our sessions. Some even sit with arms crossed at the start. But here’s what usually happens: by the first break, they’re leaning in. By the end of the day, they’re telling us, “This was better than I expected.”

One participant in a manufacturing company wrote in her feedback form: “I thought this would be fluffy. Instead, I got real tools I’ll use tomorrow.”

So what will your leaders think? They’ll think it was worth it. And they’ll probably ask when the next session is.

How Much Does Leadership Training Cost?

Money always comes up. And it should. Leadership training is an investment, not a casual Friday pizza order. Here’s the simple version.

Ballpark ranges

• Workshops: A 1-hour session may start at $1,500, depending on customisation. Half-day or full-day sessions usually sit in the $5k–$10k range.

• Leadership offsites: A 1–2 day event with design, facilitation, and materials generally ranges from $10k–$30k (venue and travel not included).

• Leadership journeys: Multi-month programs (often 6 months) with workshops, coaching, and check-ins are usually $30k–$60k.

• Executive coaching: Priced per person, with packages depending on length and frequency.

These are ballparks, not quotes. Once we understand your needs, we’ll give you specifics.

Why the range?

Because no two organisations are the same. A one-hour workshop for 20 managers is very different from a six-month journey for 50 executives. One is a spark, the other is a full leadership shift. It’s like asking “how much does a car cost?” Well, what kind of car are you after?

Value for money

Here’s the key: leadership training pays for itself when it’s done right.

• Better leaders make better decisions, faster.

• Teams with stronger trust and clarity waste less time.

• Leaders who build resilience burn out less often, which saves big on turnover.

One client told us a single offsite paid for itself in the first month because the team stopped arguing about priorities and started moving.

Why we’re not the cheapest

We’ll be upfront: we’re not the cheapest provider. And that’s deliberate. After nearly 15 years of running In Bloom, wowing customers, and refining our programs, we know our product is excellent — and we charge a premium for it.

If you want the lowest-cost option, that’s not us. If you want training that actually changes how your leaders lead, that’s where we shine.

The bigger question

Instead of asking, “How much does it cost?” it’s often better to ask, “What’s it worth if our leaders worked better together?”

One of our longest standing client once told us this: “The yearly training we run with you cost less than a week of our leadership team’s salaries. And it always changes how we work every week after that.”

Our promise

We don’t throw out unrealistic ROI numbers. Leadership is human, and the impact shows up in culture, trust, and performance. What we do promise is simple: your leaders will leave with practical tools they’ll use straight away.

Leadership training isn’t cheap (and shouldn’t be). But neither is replacing burned-out managers, fixing toxic cultures, or losing good people because leaders weren’t equipped. Compared to those costs, our programs are a bargain.

And yes, we’ll even throw in a few jokes free of charge.

What Some of our clients are saying about our mental health workshops and courses

We are proud and privileged to work with great organisations who wish to continue to move the needle on workplace health, wellbeing, and mental health awareness. You can read our case study from working with YHA below

How to Get Started With Our training Programs

So you’ve read this far, you like what you see, and you’re wondering: “Alright, what do we do next?” Good news: the process is simple.

1. Step one: Book a discovery call

Start with a quick chat. We’ll listen to what’s going on in your world, where you want your team to grow, and what outcomes matter most. No sales pitch, no 40-slide deck. Just a real conversation. Free or charge or course. Book it here.

2. Step two: We design a proposal

Based on your needs, we’ll sketch out an approach. It might be a one-off workshop, a two-day offsite, or a 6-month journey. We’ll share a draft agenda and format so you can see exactly how it works. We give you options. You add your ideas, tweak it, and make it yours.

3. Step three: Approval and prep

Once you’re happy, we lock it in. We’ll take care of the heavy lifting: materials, facilitator prep, structure. All you need to do is show up (and maybe book a room with enough chairs).

4. Step four: Delivery day

This is where the magic happens. We’ll guide your leaders through the session. Expect practical tools, engaging discussions, and yes : a few laughs along the way.

5. Step five: Follow-up

The program doesn’t stop when the room empties. We’ll check in, share resources, and help embed the learning into your rhythms. Because otherwise it’s just a nice day out.
