About this event
Management training you can do from anywhere. 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.
BPX includes a mix of self-study videos, exercises, and live sessions delivered with inclusive facilitation. Each week, we address core topics, and then unpack them together during live synthesis sessions. By the end of the program, you’ll have a robust toolkit, including everything you need to grow and develop your team.

What others have said about the course

Can you help me get my own boss on board?
Most bosses and most finance departments worry that training will be a waste of time or a waste of money. Or both. There’s a lot of garbage out there. Here’s some draft copy to help make the case and explain what your own boss (or friend in finance) should expect to see immediate ROI on the program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the total time commitment for BPX?
Q: What’s the total time commitment for BPX?
We recommend that you set aside 4 hours per week total. That includes one hour per week for the live sessions and approximately 2-3 hours for the self-study portions.
BPX runs across 6 weeks and don’t worry, we’ll send you calendar invites for all the live sessions!
Q: Are the live sessions recorded in case I miss one?
Q: 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.
Q: How long do we have access to the self-study videos?
Q: How long do we have access to the self-study videos?
You have access to the online content for three months from the start of the program. You’ll have time to go back, watch anything you missed, download the templates, and review the modules.

Q: How many participants does each BPX cohort have?

Q: Can you talk to me about accessibility?
Q: 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.
