Learn together. Work with purpose

Take on any challenge. Live well doing it.

Talentrade teaches the problem-solving method used by the world's top consultancies, paired with the science of purpose, health and wellbeing. So you can define and attack any challenge with confidence, without always having to bring in the expensive consultants.

Why it matters now

Change is only accelerating. You don't need an answer for every challenge. You need a method that works on all of them.

New technology, restructured teams, longer careers, a pivot at 25 or at 65. The challenges coming your way won't look like the last ones.

For decades, the top global consultancies have refined one way to identify, define and solve any kind of problem, in any sector, industry or country. Until now, you had to hire them to use it.

Our UNIVERSAL problem-solving method puts that insider advantage in your hands, with the habits that keep you healthy enough to use it for the long run.

Our approach

Proven consulting methods, plus the science of staying well.

Most training gives you either hard skills or wellbeing. We combine them, because performance that burns you out isn't high performance.

The consultant's toolkit

A method for any problem

For decades, consultants at the world's top management consulting firms have honed a method for solving any kind of problem, regardless of sector, industry or geography.

Behavioural science

What keeps people well

The past 20 years of psychology and neuroscience research have revealed practices, mindsets and frameworks proven to promote wellbeing and resilience.

The result

Sustainable high performance, powered by purpose

No fluff. Know-how condensed from expert research, delivered live by experienced facilitators and coaches, and ready to use on Monday morning.

What learners say.

Mastercard funded a pilot of our leadership program for non-profit leaders.

Hear from the people who took part.

“The course was one of the most interactive and participatory online experiences I’ve been a part of, ensuring that the learnings stay with me. I would highly recommend the course to everyone wanting to sharpen their approach to problem solving and delivering high-end results.”

IvanaCountry Lead (Rwanda and Tanzania), Inclusive Digital Economies, UN Capital Development Fund

“Two years after participating in this course, I am still using methods weekly with my team that I learned during the programme with our corporate facilitators. One tool for example has helped us embrace failure and the learnings associated with it, and has created a safe environment for the team to take risks.”

DannyOperations Manager, The Prince’s Trust

“The content in this course is brilliant, you won’t find it anywhere else. And the diversity of participants in this cohort was truly amazing.”
