PIVOTING TO ONLINE TRAINING
Chamber members Beyond Theory live by the mantra, ‘look after your people and they’ll look after your business’. The successful business training and coaching
consultancy, based in Derngate, Northampton, has gone from strength to strength in recent years, consistently increasing their portfolio of material, working with leading accreditation bodies to ensure the team are delivering courses of the highest quality, and creating the biggest impact on the lives of their expanding client base.
Like all businesses, Beyond Theory were faced with
the dilemma of how to continue their work when lockdown was imposed, and with many of their courses being delivered face-to-face, all the team’s hard work, and hard-earned success, was put in jeopardy overnight. Founder Paul Beesley (pictured), a former senior HR
manager at Nationwide, said: “The Covid-19 lockdown emphasised the social aspect of our working lives, and how with the right skillset, work is no longer about where you go, but what you do. When you unlock the potential within everyone, nothing should be a barrier to success.” Paul pivoted the business, and immediately moved
all training online. Beyond Theory also decided to give the NHS and charities free bitesize sessions during lockdown, focusing particularly on change management and resilience training. In discussing the decision to discount their coaching,
Paul added: “At such a critical time, we knew that workers on the front-line, and in the hardest hit sectors, are the ones we rely on the most; they wouldn’t necessarily have the skills to successfully overcome the challenges facing them, and we were keen to help. People don’t forget how you make them feel.”
