What happens when you bring people together from across the globe to develop their leadership skills? You create opportunities to share perspectives, challenge thinking and turn learning into real-world impact. Great leadership development has no borders.

We’re delighted to share feedback from Joe Biller, Mid Atlantic Business Manager for Banana Boat & Hawaiian Tropic Suncare, part of Edgewell Personal Care, following his participation in the Foundation Academy programme, delivered by Lianne Russell, our Head of Commercial.

Across six virtual sessions, learners explored key themes including communication, resilience, collaboration and personal leadership development.
Through interactive workshops, coaching conversations and practical application, the programme focused on more than just learning new concepts. It was about helping people take those insights back into their day-to-day roles and put them into practice.
And with Joe joining from the US, the programme is a great example of how geographical distance doesn't need to be a barrier to professional development.

A big thank you to Joe for being part of the Foundation Academy and for sharing his experience.

Could your team benefit from leadership development that connects learning with the realities of their roles?

Dyslexia doesn’t define what a learner can achieve.
For Senior Learning Coach Salya Khan, completing her Level 2 SPLD qualification has changed the way she thinks about dyslexia and, importantly, the way she supports her learners.

Salya now feels better equipped to:
Adapt how she communicates
Recognise when a learner may need additional support
Focus on individual strengths and confidence
Create a more inclusive assessment experience

One message stood out particularly strongly:
“Sometimes, it isn’t about changing the learner. It’s about changing how we support them.”

As educators and employers, how can we do more to understand how people learn differently and create environments where everyone can thrive?

From operational challenges to driving consistency. What happens when leadership development moves beyond the classroom and into the workplace?
For Paulina Jaleel, Holding Area Manager at Caffè Nero, the Level 5 Operations Manager Apprenticeship was an opportunity to tackle a real challenge: driving consistent operational standards across multiple stores.

Working with Senior Learning Coach Nicola Baxter, Paulina developed practical leadership tools and techniques that she could apply directly to her role.
And the result?
Improved consistency across the area
Stronger coffee quality scores
Improved customer satisfaction
Greater accountability from Store Managers
More confident managers taking ownership of performance
A more strategic leadership approach for Paulina

A fantastic example of the impact of the Operations Manager Apprenticeship, and a great reflection of the support and coaching provided by Nicola.

Dyslexia is about far more than reading and writing.
This week is Dyslexia Awareness Week, and we’re sharing the insights of WELL Training Learning Coach Nicola Baxter, following her recent qualifications in Understanding Specific Learning Difficulties and Dyslexia Awareness.
Nicola’s learning has changed the way she approaches teaching, assessment and learner support.

As Nicola puts it, our role as educators is to remove barriers so strengths can flourish.
A brilliant example of why professional development for Learning Coaches matters, not just for their own knowledge, but for the experience and outcomes of the learners they support.

If your staff development plans have been disrupted due to the changes with apprenticeship programmes, this could be the perfect time to rethink and not put any development on hold.
Following our recent post about the changes to apprenticeship funding, we’ve been talking to employers who are having to reconsider how they develop their managers, future leaders and improvement-focused employees.

An apprenticeship is an opportunity to invest in someone who can make a difference to your organisation while they’re learning.

The Level 5 Improvement Specialist and Level 4 Management Consultant programmes give employees the opportunity to work on real business challenges, apply their learning directly to their role and develop skills that can contribute to improved processes, better decision-making and organisational performance.
For the employer, that means development isn’t happening in isolation from the business. The learning comes back into the workplace.
And this is where choosing the right training provider matters.

At WELL Training, we don't believe in delivering training that sits in a workbook and stays there. Our approach is practical, workplace-focused and supported by experienced Learning Coaches who work with learners to connect their learning to the challenges they face every day.
We work with employers to understand what they want to achieve, support learners throughout their programme and help turn learning into something they can actually use.

So, if you have managers, aspiring leaders or employees who could be driving improvement across your organisation, now could be the time to invest in their development.
The end of one apprenticeship doesn't have to mean the end of your development plans.

When training gives someone something they can take beyond the workplace, that’s when it really matters.
We’re delighted to share fantastic feedback for Senior Learning Coach, Ben Wakefield, following a recent apprenticeship training session on resilience.

The learner reflected on how Ben connected resilience to real-life situations, creating space for honest conversations and helping them think about how the tools could be applied both professionally and personally.

As they put it:
“I’d really like to sing this from the rooftops, not only is Ben a fantastic tutor, you can see he really does take lots of pride in his delivery. Being able to match situations like resilience to real life settings really helps create food for thought on how you can apply this realistically moving forward. From the bottom of my heart (as odd as that may come across), I really wanted to provide this feedback as I think this could really be a turning point for me and my family and for that I will be forever indebted to Ben.”

That’s a pretty powerful reflection on what learning can achieve when it goes beyond the theory and gives people practical tools they can actually use.
Well done, Ben. Your commitment to making learning relevant, practical and engaging clearly makes a difference.

A debate, a bit of healthy competition and some serious campaign branding. A productive day for our Senior Learning Coach Ben Wakefield, delivering a training session to Paragon Senior Leaders.

The apprentices have been building a project for three months: nationalisation vs. privatisation.
The two groups took on the roles of Labour and Conservative teams before making their cases for the NHS and the rail network. Each presented their arguments before the floor was opened up for a free-for-all debate.
The result? Very close, with the nationalisation side taking the win by a narrow margin. Both groups put forward some compelling arguments and demonstrated plenty of research, preparation and confidence in challenging each other’s thinking.
We're still trying to work out why the Conservative team decided to campaign using Ben's face on their badges. Apparently, even leadership development needs a little personal branding!

The session then moved from politics to innovation, exploring how AI and technology could help organisations work more efficiently, with plenty of ideas shared across the group.

A big thank you to Debbie Mires for hosting us in Dagenham.

Apparently, all you need for a good morning meeting is coffee, cake and a CEO who takes the cake very seriously.

This morning, the WELL Training team got together virtually for a Macmillan Cancer Support Coffee Morning, raising £90 through our virtual coffee and cake catch-up.
There was plenty of coffee, lots of chat and some questionable claims about how “virtual cake” counts…although, Steve, our CEO, was the only one who actually had cake on camera at 9.15am. (he’s clearly learnt from the best...mentioning no names, Ben).

And with it also being Happiness at Work Week, it felt like pretty good timing. Taking a break from the day-to-day, having a laugh together and doing something for a great cause is a reminder that workplace culture isn’t always about big initiatives.
Sometimes it’s just coffee, cake and good people.

Now, the important question…who’s bringing the cake at the next face-to-face meeting?

What actually changes when you’ve been an apprentice for a year?
It’s easy to think an apprenticeship is about gaining more knowledge, completing assignments and achieving a qualification.
But for Matt Price at NANT, a year into his Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship, the biggest changes have been much more practical.

Matt’s role at Nant has grown so he’s started to think differently about how he leads and develops the people around him. It sounds like the apprenticeship has helped Matt to understand that sometimes leadership isn’t about stepping in and getting the job done yourself but giving someone else the opportunity to try, being there to support them, and accepting that they might approach it differently.
A year in, Matt isn’t claiming to have leadership figured out. And perhaps that’s the point.

Read Matt’s full reflection on his first year of the apprenticeship and what has actually changed.
