See this programmetheattering was set up in 2015 by a former HR director and a career coach who kept meeting talented professionals working hard without a clear sense of where it was leading. We built our programmes to give that direction back.
We now work with professionals across the UK from our Fountainbridge offices and online, pairing structured skills training with regular coaching that keeps you accountable to your own plan.
You've likely sat through training that felt good in the room and changed little at work. Here's what's different about how theattering works.
Every facilitator has held genuine leadership responsibility, so sessions stay grounded in what actually works day to day.
Groups are deliberately capped, so discussion can go beyond generalities into your actual team and situation.
You leave the first session with a written plan and a realistic direction, reviewed with your coach as things shift.
Join sessions in Edinburgh or entirely online, scheduled around your working week rather than a fixed classroom slot.
Graduates stay connected through regular meet-ups and an online group — a practical sounding board long after the course ends.
Content is refreshed using feedback from every cohort and current thinking in leadership practice, not left static for years.
No hidden extras. Choose annual billing and save 30% against the monthly rate.
A small selection of the feedback we hear most often from people we've worked with.
The Bearing programme gave me an actual plan instead of vague encouragement. Within five months I was leading our regional operations review.
I'd been drifting between roles for two years without a clear next step. My coach helped me map a realistic route, and I moved into a team lead role within four months.
At 50 I assumed my next move was behind me. The True North programme proved otherwise — steadier decisions, calmer delegation, and a director role within the year.
