Featured interview
How MiQ leaders learn to say the hard thing
MiQ embedded Real Talk Studio into its live leadership programme so managers could rehearse direct performance coaching — and get twice the practice reps in the same session slot.
“I thought I was being really clear. The avatar said: well, you're not — I don't understand what you want me to do. Even leading a team, that was a zing of feedback in the moment.”

Featured interview
One lecturer. 215 business ideas. And a pitch panel that never gets tired.
How Dr Adam Frost at Alliance Manchester Business School replaced a single weekend of one-way feedback with unlimited, realistic pitch practice — and saw students climb from scores in the thirties to the seventies and eighties, attempt after attempt.
“Most students could clearly show how they went from thirty-five or forty up to seventy or eighty — just by taking on board key bits of feedback and having another go.”
