FAQ

At this point you might have some questions, here are some we’ve answered before

I’m not convinced that virtual can work as well as face to face?

The pandemic is shown us differently. But, in some instance, you can’t beat face to face, and we don’t propose replacing it. Your annual team sessions and leadership workshops are extremely important and we love running these types of sessions. But what we know from our experience is, no matter how powerful these sessions are, the engagement and goodwill that comes from them dissipates after 4-6 weeks. What we are offering here is to build on those sessions and create momentum and accelerate growth throughout the year. Empirical evidence shows us that when we embed learning, practice new skills and offer continued support that’s when real behaviour change takes place.

Wouldn’t one on one coaching be more effective?

It can be, but one on one coaching is more effective for specific and personal development goals. It’s the gold standard when there is plenty of time and money to invest in individuals. If you want your people to grow together, at scale and affordably, then it’s important to bring the collective through the learning path at the same time in the same way. Because of this need, plus shrinking budgets, we have deliberately built in efficiencies into our model to make it impactful, sustainable and cost effective. But, we also offer one on one coaching sessions to complement the experience, especially if there is a desire for accelerated growth

My team are already really busy … will they need lots of time to make this work?

How do I know they will get the support I want for them?

What if I pay for them and they don’t show up?

Firstly, all participants have to apply for a spot on the programme, they need to demonstrate their commitment and sense of agency right from the start – we only take motivated people. The application phase increases engagement because people realise spots on the programme are coveted and don’t want to lose up. Each participant, if successful signs a contract expressing their commitment and acknowledge the importance of showing up.

We also know exactly who is engaging, who turns up live, who watches the replays and report on it every month. We reach out to the people who aren’t showing up we put actions in place to keep everyone on track: accountability calls, support & challenge groups, e-mail reminders, Q&A sessions. If they aren’t responding we notify you to engage them from your side. At this point we can offer additional coaching to address issues which may be keeping them back (workload, time management planning etc.) or we collectively (and kindly) offboard them. You then have an option to replace them with a new candidate – so your money (and our impact) is never wasted.

Is it easy to book on small or large numbers?

What happens if my delegate list changes?

How much does a team/bespoke training cost?

Can you measure the outputs and results of The EDGE participants?

Absolutely. Our Symbia differentiator is measurable outputs in development, engagement, and productivity. Through pre and post workshop surveys, as well as with participation check-ins throughout, we will be measuring progress and protecting your investment. Nothing for us is ever “one and done”. You will receive a quarterly update on your team’s performance so you will always know how your team is developing.
