About
Boost Learning provides a development environment for people who manage or lead people. Development that meets them ‘where they are’ – which is a function of their unique history and experience, vision and hopes, context and expectations.
The Boost Learning experience includes helpful conversations, development journeys and tools that:
are responsive to and immediately applicable to the participant's individual situation.
are all delivered online and virtually.
The development goal is self-aware, competent, confident and thriving managers and leaders, who stay.
Our Origins
Belinda Brummer, Founder
I still remember the day when I sat in a university lecture about organisational management over a decade ago. I was stunned (and not in a good way) by the professor’s views of management - its value and mechanisms, and how organisations should be structured to protect employees from managers.
My experience of managers, however, led me to a different conclusion and a different world of possibility. My experience revealed that managers, line managers in particular, had the single greatest impact on how their team members experienced the workplace, and performed. For good people to perform in an organisation to their full potential, they need an engaged, competent and confident manager to enable them.
My vision, brought to life through Boost Learning, is to create a space for people who manage and lead people to focus on their management capability and confidence. By focusing on their strengths, to turn their doubts, insecurities, misplaced confidence, mistakes and competence gaps into opportunities. A space where they can explore these and make the tweaks and leaps that allow them to thrive.
Our Ethos
The quality of the relationship participants develop with Boost Learning is paramount. We understand what is needed in order for people to have crucial and sensitive conversations that change things. Therefore we pay particular attention to the following:
Respect – We see you. We work hard to recognise your personal experiences, professional contribution, what makes you different from others and the strength of your personhood.
Kindness – From little things, big things grow. Small acts and attitudes of kindness reach deeper into people’s experiences and potential than we can ever know. Kindness over apathy or cruelty every time.
True self – Being in congruence with yourself is powerful. We want you to live and work in congruence with yourself, where your experience and your self are known to you, where your approaches are aligned with who you are and what you are capable of.
