    Developing Your Individual Contributors

    Let's start to build a learning programme for your people...
    Your subject matter experts and specialists are the backbone of your business - so let’s not leave their development to chance.

    From communication and collaboration to influencing, negotiation, and sales skills, we help them grow their impact far beyond their job title.

    People Development

    They’re not “just” team members - they’re the heartbeat of your business.

    Let’s be honest - individual contributors are often the unsung heroes of the organisation. They’re the experts, the fixers, the knowledge-holders. They make things work.

    But while leaders and managers are off on learning retreats, your subject matter experts are often left figuring it out as they go. That’s where we come in.

    We create practical, people-focused development for individual contributors — helping them build the skills they don’t always realise they need… until they need them. From influencing and collaboration to communication, negotiation, and being commercial savvy, our programmes help your experts shine beyond their expertise.

    Whether it’s a one-off workshop or a longer learning journey, we tailor every experience to your people, your goals, and your culture. And yes, we make it engaging. Even the most training-resistant tech guru will thank you. (Eventually.)

    Featured Testimonial

    It was really great to go through the programme as a participant and then get together and meet team members we may never have got to meet face to face. We also learned a lot from each other, as well as from the Excel trainers and this was invaluable.

    why Excel?

    Why Our Clients Choose Us For Individual Contributor Development

    Because your business doesn’t run on leaders alone.

    Our clients choose us because we help unlock the potential of the people doing the work - the problem-solvers, the specialists, the everyday experts who keep everything ticking (and sometimes sprinting).
