BPX
Comprehensive, online management training for growing teams.
Give your leaders the tools and frameworks they need to deliver hard feedback, run effective meetings, manage complex projects, and set goals (then actually…achieve them). Your people managers will level up their leadership skills, establish common language, and leave with a shared approach to managing across your org.
BPX brings together leaders from all over the globe for the best management training in the world.
BPX was built for this
A shared foundation for your leaders to build from.
When your managers don’t have a shared expectation of how to deliver feedback, how to hire, how to fire, how to think about compensation, how to talk to their employees…the entire org feels it. Exit interviews for different teams can sound wildly different. Until you look closely, and suddenly there’s a pattern: inconsistent, unpredictable, siloed.
BPX is designed to establish shared language and common tools among your leaders. Within six weeks, they all learn the same frameworks and practice the same management skills — whether they joined the org last month, or if they’ve been along for the ride since the very beginning. The goal is to get them on the same page, no matter their department or seniority. So you can set a foundation of competence, consistency, and calm in how your org operates.
Actual skills you’ll use right away. With no cringe-worthy roleplaying.
Like all of our programs, BPX is designed and facilitated by long-time execs who’ve been there. The program is comprehensive, based on extensive research, and built from the ground up for busy managers. There are no personality quizzes. No dusty textbooks written in the 1960s. No mock case studies to mock complete.
Each week, we cover key management frameworks that stack together to assemble a robust management toolkit — that you can put to use right away. The program is practical, bullshit-free, and skeptic-proof. Which is why it has incredibly high completion rates.
Different leaders, different countries, different backgrounds. One zoom room.
Each BPX cohort brings together leaders from many different organizations. And one of the most common pieces of feedback we hear about the program is how surprisingly powerful and validating it is for managers to be in conversation with each other. To hear from managers outside of your org and industry. To learn alongside others who are struggling with the same challenges, and come out on the other side together. To build a community of practice.
Training that grows with you.
BPX runs seasonally. It’s particularly well-suited for ongoing training that maintains consistency and shared expectations across your team, while you hire or promote new leaders. And it’s a huge relief for training your busy C-suite — they don’t have to cancel their trips or shift all their meetings to sit in a conference hall for a week.
You can get them into the program when the timing makes sense, and protect their calendars with management training they can do from anywhere. BPX uses an “inverted classroom” model, with a mix of self-study videos broken into short segments to watch on their own time. Followed by a live 1-hour Zoom session each week to practice the tools or discuss the frameworks as a group.
Who comes to BPX?
Hundreds of bosses from around the globe have been through BPX. We come from tech so it’s not surprising that about 50% of BPX attendees are from tech/startups. What might surprise you is that 25% are from professional services, and we see about 15% of our cohorts joining from non-profit and government orgs.
You also might be surprised to find out that half of BPX participants are attending management training for the very first time, regardless of seniority.
10%
of past BPX attendees are CEOs, EDs, or Founders
Half
of all cohorts are typically Director or above

Curriculum
Week 00
Intros & Kickoff
Welcome. We’re excited you’re here. Grab a warm beverage and some headphones. Our first live session sets up the rest of the program. You’ll meet Melissa, Johnathan, and the rest of your wonderful cohort.
Week 01
Foundations & Alignment
Starting from first principles, you’ll learn what management is (and isn’t), and how to build aligned and effective teams as organizations grow.
Week 02
Mentoring, Coaching, 1:1s
In week 2, we’ll pack a bunch of new tools into your toolbox for building excellent (and highly engaged) teams. You’ll leave this week running better 1:1s, and with a clear framework for how to develop your people.
Week 03
Performance Management
Building on our new skills around mentoring, coaching, and 1:1s, we’ll dive deep into designing career paths, delivering feedback, and managing performance for everyone from the most junior to the most senior employees on your team.
Week 04
Building & Operating
Talent is the most valuable resource in any organization. You’ll develop skills to help you get the right people in the door, and then get them doing their best work.
Week 05
Leadership & Resilience
In our final week, we turn our attention inward. You’ll develop an integrated approach around how you show up as a leader, and how to put the right scaffolding in place for when things get hectic.
We can’t wait to see you.
Johnathan and Melissa Nightingale are the founders of Raw Signal Group, best-selling authors, and world experts on management and leadership.
So here’s the deal.
We’ve worked closely with many, many companies to create successful group cohorts in BPX.
And we’ve learned some things along the way to help your leaders get the most out of the program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the live sessions recorded in case I miss one?
Are the live sessions recorded in case I miss one?
Nope. When you’re in a program with us, we ask you to bring real, honest conversation and questions. For many folks that’s harder to do if the recording light is on, and it’s unclear where those recordings might get shared. We don’t record, or allow anyone else to record the sessions — what happens in BPX stays in BPX.
How long do we have access to the self-study videos?

Can you talk to me about accessibility?
Can you talk to me about accessibility?
Our live sessions are done through Zoom and offer live English transcription. We use hand raising, chat, and the breakout room functionality, but we don’t use the collaborative whiteboard or other visual features. The self-study materials are a mix of text and video, delivered through a web-based platform (Thinkific). The videos are formatted as slides with voice-overs by Melissa and Johnathan, and are all closed-captioned. The slides visuals are offered as a teaching aid, but the material they contain is also addressed in the voiceover. If you have any other accessibility requirements or questions, please let us know.
I’m a leader in a non-profit org—am I welcome here, too?
I’m a leader in a non-profit org—am I welcome here, too?
Yes! We’ve worked with leaders from education, government, and other not-for-profit organizations. BPX is focused on how to get great work out of your people in a sustainable way. While we talk about building effective teams working towards well-constructed goals, we’re very intentionally non-prescriptive about what those goals should be.
Also, we offer do-gooder bosses a discount on registration. Shoot us a note.
