Navigator – work and personal development for men

Developed in response to the phenomenal success of its sister development training programme for women – Springboard, this powerful and pioneering development course has been successfully used by over 9,000 men across many different industries.

Navigator is for men who want to examine both their home and work life in order to identify practical and realistic steps to fulfil their potential. It gives the time and space to address challenges of modern living, stereotypes of masculinity, the challenges facing the 21^st century man as well as mental health, well-being and stress management.

It’s delivered, to great acclaim through an experienced network of licensed trainers.

The programme gives you the time to reflect & share
Set achievable goals for now and the future
Take like-minded individuals on a transformational journey
Positively helps organisations change and reshape

The Navigator programme supports men to understand the world they are now living in, and then challenges their expectations based on historical male roles. It includes setting goal strategies that work, benefitting from experienced and knowledgeable coaching and support, as well as encouraging attendees to take risks and manage change.

What our clients say…

“Excellent course for prompting you to take stock of things and understand where you are and where you want to be. It also equips you to take steps to make things happen rather than just hoping that they will”

Jason Mumford, Dorset Police

“Navigator is a fundamental part of our programme to equip younger or more junior staff with the skills and confidence they will need for more senior jobs with us or elsewhere. It links both to our target of lowering the age distribution across the council and increasing the number of Staff from a BME background in more senior posts.”

George Bishop
