BPX
Comprehensive, online management training for individuals and growing teams.

Whether you want to get better at delivering feedback. Or want more tools to engage and retain your staff. Level up your leadership skills and establish a framework to know how it’s going, and troubleshoot along the way.
Despite what your little league coach may have said, there’s no such thing as a born leader. Effective management is a set of discrete, learnable skills.
BPX was built for this
Evidence-based and actually applicable.
No fluff, no personality tests, no barnum phrases, no bullshit. Modern management is incredibly well-studied and well-researched. Which makes it extra galling how many programs still use outdated (and occasionally downright offensive) approaches and methodologies. You need a modern toolkit, a scorecard to know whether things are working, and the agility to try something else if part of your management practice is no longer serving you or your direct reports. And you’re not likely to find it in some training program developed in the eighties.


Build new habits.
All of the BPX modules build on and reinforce one another. Over six weeks, we introduce, dissect, and grok the individual components and skills of effective management. You’ll finish the program with a robust and integrated toolkit, including everything you need to grow and develop your team. BPX is designed to help you build new habits that will help you and your team feel more on top of the day to day.
Designed to fit your schedule.
No painful Zoom sessions or boring lectures. BPX uses an “inverted classroom” approach. Each week, you’ll unlock 1-3 hours of self-study work to review at your own pace, followed by a live 1-hour Zoom session where we unpack it all as a group. The self-study videos are all captioned, and broken up into short segments. You can binge a week’s content in a single evening, or space it out as your schedule allows. People tell us it’s a bit like listening to their favourite podcast. There’s even an app, so you can learn on-the-go.


Appropriate for all levels of management.
We welcome everyone from first-time leads to seasoned CEOs in BPX. The only exception is people who are not yet managing. We love that you are eager to get started on your manager journey but BPX is grounded in application. And without people to manage, there’s nowhere for you to apply what you’re learning.
Global network.
Practical management tools don’t have borders. Your network shouldn’t either. Each BPX cohort brings together leaders from many organizations and countries, and puts you in conversation with a variety of leaders going through incredibly similar challenges who can support your growth.

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.

Kind words
“This training was the best money I have spent on my career. You should take it if you want to manage humans. In addition to the value of the course I gained access to the alumni slack, which is a community of like-trained and like-minded folks who care about treating people at work like actual people.”

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.

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.

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.
