So how exactly are successful leaders upskilling their teams to develop the mindset, skills and capabilities required for a rapidly-changing future, while continuing to lead their business?
The most forward-thinking leaders call Symbia when they want real lasting behaviour change.
Now, we’re bringing you our fastest path to transformation yet.
INTRODUCING...
The EDGE Accelerator is designed to fit around your team’s schedule while driving real behaviour change, performance and impact - with the most essential topics for 2025 and beyond.
How Is This Different From The EDGE That Symbia Offers?
This version of Edge is designed for professionals who want a powerful learning experience but can’t commit to the full EDGE experience (10 months).
We’ve selected the most important topics for 2025 and beyond and shaped them into a focused journey delivered in half the time.
The programme runs twice a year: from October to February and from February to July, giving flexibility to fit around demanding schedules.
all at the low rate of £1,250 per person
Results You Can See (And Measure).
Designed for a modern workforce facing real-world challenges, the EDGE Accelerator will measurably improve your team’s performance, with noticeable results in as little as four weeks.
We capture key metrics from every participant (and their line managers) at the beginning, middle and end of the journey, so you can quantifiably track exactly how far your team’s have come.
It’s not just learning. It’s growth you can prove.
High Impact Learning. Long-Term Growth.
Hands-on, interactive and practical learning with dynamic, inspirational and highly effective practitioners covering the core human skill sets needed for emerging leaders to thrive in 2025 and beyond. This is delivered through a carefully crafted development journey with ongoing support and guidance (unlike one-off solutions that lose impact over time), supported by a community of highly experienced coaches and experts.
“What really stuck out for me is the importance of being aware of what I can and can't control. As a result, I am a lot more conscious about it now in work and life generally.”

The pandemic has shown us differently. But, in some instances, you can’t beat face to face and we don’t propose replacing it. 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. That’s why the EDGE is the perfect accompaniment to your team and leadership offsites (which we design and facilitate too, so get in touch!). Empirical evidence shows us that when we embed learning, practise new skills and offer continued support that’s when real behaviour change takes place.
No, it will be a minimum of 2 hours per month. You will see your team improving after the first 4 weeks: less hand holding for you and increased productivity from your people, will be among some of the positive changes you’ll see. The time they spend on The EDGE will be made back (and multiplied!) through their new learned efficiencies and focus.
