Who we are

We are a bespoke training and coaching company based out of London but available to support training in any timezone.

We believe that one size never fits all, so we designed out courses to be modular and adaptable. While we do have our suggested syllabus for a one day and two day version of our courses for Storytelling for Business and Facilitation Skills, we recognise that every company has its own needs and apart from the two core modules we think everyone should learn, you can choose from a catalogue of topics to define a bespoke training course that works for you and your team.

We love to work with our clients to design a training experience that delivers the best possible results - both in the room with the participants, and afterwards shown in their work.

We offer both 121 and group coaching for presentation skills, overcoming stage fright and public speaking. If you or a member of your team has a big conference or event coming up, let us help you hone your message and perfect your delivery. We've worked with individuals of all levels, from graduates to CEOs.

What we do

13 Times began our journey by introducing individuals and organisations to straightforward and powerful storytelling tools and techniques via our Storytelling for Business training course that helped them hone their message and deliver it effectively.

Since then we have expanded our support to include general public speaking and confidence coaching for business leaders, alongside project management, facilitation and data storytelling coaching.

Feedback on our courses has been uniformly positive with over 97% of attendees and coachees saying they have found it to be extremely or very useful in their jobs, with many getting great feedback on their improved skills.

Our Facilitation Skills course has been honed by clients such as CapGemini and HSBC. We don't tend to focus on workshop techniques but rather the soft skills needs to deliver a brilliant and effective workshop. We advise people on the best ways to design workshop agendas, plan preparation, manage a room and tell the story of the workshop to deeply engage with an audience.

We have several members of staff who are certified to deliver LEGO® Serious Play® workshops and design thinking workshops, so if you need an expert facilitator to support you team, we can help you with that too.
