About Different Dynamics

We can help you uncover the extraordinary in yourself and others.

Twenty years of management and leadership development, coaching and change work, at the heart of some of the best-known organisations in media, research and advertising.

Our story

Practical, honest, and a little bit fun

Different Dynamics started in rooms with managers: the newly promoted, the quietly overwhelmed, the ones who were brilliant at the job and then got handed a team.

What we found, over and over, was that people did not need more theory. They needed a handful of models they would actually reach for on a Tuesday afternoon, a safe place to practise them, and someone to think with when the real situation arrived. That is still what we do, whether it is a half-day skills workshop, a full leadership programme, one-to-one coaching for a senior leader, or a change project that touches a whole organisation.

The way we work is engaging and experiential. We use accelerated learning and NLP techniques so the learning is locked in, ready for application back in the workplace. And we measure it: our evaluation work tracks the impact of every intervention, so you can show your board the return on learning.

The newest chapter is digital. Magnificent Managers, our flagship programme for new and early managers, now lives on any device, with a coach trained on everything we teach beside every session. The room has not gone anywhere. For teams that want the day together, your facilitator still comes to you.

"The workshop plants it. But you only really learn it the third time you use it for real, and that is usually months later, on your own. Everything we have built in the last year is about being there for that third time."

Michael Lewis · Managing Director, Different Dynamics
Measuring impact

Did it work? We can show you.

Our evaluation services track the impact of every training intervention, from confidence before and after a session to what people actually do differently a month later. The result is a return on learning you can put in front of a management board.

On the digital programme this is built in: completion, confidence, ratings and engagement roll up into one screen, without ever exposing what a delegate asks their coach.
