Our programs are designed to meet people where they are in terms of their learning needs and level of readiness. Some learning is self-paced, asynchronous and online; some is delivered live in virtual or in-person settings; and much is tailored to the specific context of a team or organisation. The common factor in all is a focus on building capability in having high quality conversations which meet real challenges and deliver lasting change.

PeopleTalking Academy supports individuals, teams and organisations to build capability over time, combining evidence-based learning with reflection, practice and facilitated experiences that deepen insight and strengthen performance.

We offer accreditation courses, programs and learning modules to support our work and offer development pathways for leaders and teams.

Grounded in research

Grounded in the research of Professor Amy C. Edmondson, a global leader in psychological safety and team effectiveness. Designed for leaders at all levels, these programs build the conditions where people feel safe to speak up, learn, challenge ideas and contribute fully – especially in moments of pressure and change. They can be completed online, used as preparation for in-person work, or integrated into broader leadership development.

Based on the breakthrough work of Dr David Kantor, these programs build deep insight into how patterns of interaction shape behaviour, performance and outcomes. Delivered through blended and online learning, they equip leaders, coaches and practitioners to recognise recurring patterns and intervene in ways that create lasting change – with formal accreditation pathways for those applying Structural Dynamics in organisational and coaching contexts.

Circles & Diamonds

Circles & Diamonds is a proprietary, practical dialogue model for leaders and teams navigating complexity, participation, and decision-making. It helps teams structure conversations to move from open discussion to clear decisions and aligned action.

Delivered online, virtually, or in person, the program builds awareness and skills to manage both the what of the conversation (content) and the how (process & behaviour), supporting teams to participate fully, respond intentionally, and develop lasting conversational capability.
