We work in partnership with our clients to design impactful learning that delivers the outcomes you need. This could be a combination of blended learning, online, or face to face. We draw on a wider team of talented associates for larger-scale projects
Established since 2004, The 2gether Partnership has an excellent track record of delivering insightful learning. There are 6 key steps to every piece of work we undertake:
1.Understanding the Context and Background
Where has the need come from and why does it matter? What would a great outcome look like if it was happening right now?
2. Engaging Key People
Who is the target audience? What is their perspective on the issue?
Who else has a stake in this?
3. Designing a learning experience
We consider several options and often a blend of learning experiences to cater for different learning styles to land the learning with lasting impact.
4. Testing the design with you
We want what ever we design for you to be excellent. To do this we will help you understand what others will experience when we work with them. This will help you to communicate the learning experience authentically and be an effective champion.
5. Deliver
The style and method of delivery depends upon many factors. We will have discussed and agreed this in steps 1-4. This includes sharing our ability to flex in the moment, taking into account of the people and situations we meet in the 'room' on the day.
6. Review
We will monitor the impact of the development with you.
Our belief is that learning should have an impact that means it is sustainable beyond the contact with us.

Our Expertise
Executive Coaching
Coaching is the ultimate bespoke learning experience. We have been working with our coaching clients online and face to face for many years. Each coaching journey is as different as the people taking part in it, however, there are some common outcomes for our clients.
The outcomes you can expect are:
- Clarity about your longer term goals.
- Clarity about who you need to influence to support key objectives and how to go about it.
- Increased confidence.
- More awareness about your impact.
- An increased sense of who you are, your purpose and your values.
- A confidential space for you to discuss and share what is important to you.
- An opportunity to rehearse key conversations you need to have.
Team Development
How do you have conversations that tune into getting the best from your team?
We design bespoke team development journeys that can be delivered face to face, online or a blend of both. Teams we work with are small and large and vary between six to sixty people. The beauty of working with teams over a period of time is the immediate opportunity to apply learning. In addition, because everyone is attending at the same time, the cohesion of the team is strengthened by having a community of language, processes, and frameworks to draw upon.
We sometimes use psychometric tools to help speed up the process of openness. Each team has a different starting point. We work with you to determine what will work best for you given the outcomes you’re looking for, and the current ‘climate’ in your team.
The outcomes you can expect are:
- Improved trust between team members.
- Know what is important to individual team members including their values and strengths.
- Understand what the stressors are for each team member and how to support them positively.
- Awareness of effective team behaviours.
- Commitment and alignment to team goals.
- Improved team performance.
Communicating with Presence and Impact
There will be key times in your career when it is super important for you to ‘show up’ in a way that is the most authentic version of yourself. Sometimes though, the ‘super importance’ gets in the way. Your nerves get the best of you and your confidence waivers. We can help. Working either in a small group or 1:1 with you, we design learning to help you get the best from yourself in any situation. The learning can be online, face to face.
The outcomes you can expect are:
- Improved personal impact and presence in small/large group settings.
- Knowing how to communicate in an authentic and engaging way.
- Clarity about the best version of your authentic self and your personal ‘brand’.
- Enhanced ability to think quickly and use the effective language and behaviours in important meetings.
- How to connect and engage with customers, clients, stakeholders in a way that demonstrates genuine understanding of different perspectives.
Influencing through Authentic Conversations
We have delivered this programme in a variety of ways to suit client’s circumstances: Exclusively online, face to face, or a blend of both. The ideal is to run the programme over a series of sessions to allow for awareness-raising, observation, reflection and application of learning in between.
The outcomes you can expect are:
- Understand how your emotional responses impact your influencing behaviour.
- Learn how your current influencing style, presence and impact comes across to others.
- Articulate what you stand for as a leader and how that impacts upon you as an influencer.
- Identify what you need to continue and/or change in your influencing behaviour to achieve the results you want.
- More flexibility of your influencing styles to manage a wide range of influencing situations.
Coaching for Performance
Every line manager needs to be able to have conversations that tune into how to get the best from their people. Delivered online face to face or a blend of both, the learning draws upon best practice models and concepts in the field of coaching. It is practical, experiential and strongly connected to the reality of the situations you face.
The outcomes you can expect are:
- To have practiced coaching skills in a rich variety of scenarios and received feedback and coaching to accelerate and embed your own learning.
- Develop coaching skill ‘flexibility’ across a range (or continuum) of styles, and to have the understanding to be able to use the most effective skill ‘live’ in any given situation.
- Know when and how to use the GROW coaching process effectively.
- An understanding of how people build habits and how to bring this knowledge into your coaching situations.
- Identified your own ways to continue to further enhance and embed your coaching skills beyond the development programme and integrate coaching into your management repertoire.
Leadership Development
We are experienced in designing and delivering Leadership Development face to face, online and as a blended approach. Each Leadership Development Programme we develop for our clients is slightly different in that it is bespoke to you and your organisation. You will find our development approach personal, highly engaging and practical.
The outcomes you can expect are:
- Know yourself as a leader from the inside out We explore what you stand for as a leader, your strengths, your values, and what has made you who you are and your purpose. You will also explore how you stay resilient, embodying what is important to you in a positive way.
- Know your impact as a leaderYou will become more aware of the impact you have on others and how to flex your behaviour to get the best from others. We will share techniques to motivate and inspire others, particularly when the going gets tough. You will have a better understanding of your 'de-railers' -the things that get in the way of being the best version of yourself. Your confidence will increase around having ‘tough’ conversations whilst also maintaining your own and others dignity and respect. Awareness of your biases will increase and you will consider how to see the world from the perspective of others.
- Know your contextYou will have more clarity on what is expected of you from your key stakeholders, your team, your boss and your peers. You will start spotting where resistance to change is happening and develop effective strategies to work with the resistance. Exploring your network, will help you to identify opportunities and gaps.
