  • Ability to generate certificates of completion (training) or participation (workshops)
  • Optionally, in conjunction with the Affiliate programme or an Agendashift for Business subscription, the means to run paid tutorials for cohort-based training, with you recognised on Academy-issued certificates as a co-instructor

Plus all the benefits of an Authorised Leading with Outcomes Facilitator:

  • Community access

Programme prerequisites

Both programmes:

Authorised Leading with Outcomes Facilitator:

  •  A Leading with Outcomes Authorised Facilitator subscription (free for the first year), started within 12 months of TTT/F and maintained continuously 

Authorised Leading with Outcomes Trainer:

  • A Leading with Outcomes Authorised Trainer subscription started within 12 months of TTT/F and maintained continuously
  • Before teaching a module for the first time, certified completion of the Leading with Outcomes: Foundation module and (if different) the module you wish to teach, and for those modules, submission of your completed workbooks for review. You can do this online at the time of your choosing (it is a prerequisite neither to TTT/F nor to you subscribing).

 Conditions:

  • Training materials to be used only for the purposes of certified training2
  • Customisation within agreed parameters is permitted and even encouraged, but attribution and copyright notices must be retained and displayed
  • Other Agendashift-related services are not to be represented as training

1To enable professional service firms and larger corporates to be self-sufficient, by prior agreement the TTT/F requirement may be waived for Agendashift for Business subscribers that maintain at least two Academy-trained trainers and the ability to manage their own trainer or facilitator onboarding.

2With regard to workshop materials, there is no requirement that trainers certify workshop participation. Facilitators who are not trainers don't have that facility.

“Very practical, highly participative – learning by doing. I can see so many opportunities to use the approach and tools in my work”

“You inspired people and got them talking – couldn’t have asked for more”

“Combines concepts I previously found challenging in a way that not only makes sense but is highly useful”

“I left motivated and confident enough to try these exercises the next day”

“Expertly and confidently helps you learn how to get from strategy to execution and back again”

“Intensely practical with solid theoretical foundations”
