Skills Lab is our flagship team development experience, built for organisations ready to raise the bar. It’s for teams who want more than outdated training. They want training that works and a culture that’s ready for what’s next.

It’s ideal for:

• Whole teams ready for serious investment in their development

• Organisations facing a fast-changing world, where resilience, adaptability and leadership at all levels matter more than ever

• Groups of managers and emerging leaders who need the tools and mindset to step up

• Senior teams who know standing still isn’t an option
  

Skills Lab blends practical learning with bold facilitation to shift behaviours, fast. Wherever your team is now – we’ll take them further.

Forget dusty PowerPoint decks and awkward roleplays. Skills Lab is the opposite. This is hands-on, sprint-based learning is rooted in modern research, real-world examples and proven approaches that we've used with global brands and UK-wide upskilling programmes.

It’s designed and delivered by director-level experts – people who’ve led real teams, in real organisations, and know what works. Every module is packed with insight from frontline leadership, and cutting-edge L&D. You’re not just getting theory – you’re getting the stuff that actually moves the dial.

Unlike many providers still dusting off pre-Covid content, everything in Skills Lab has been rebuilt for the world we’re in now.

It’s a flexible programme, shaped around your needs. But it’s also a lot of fun. Teams talk about it as more than training – they call it an experience. One that shifts mindsets and truely builds confidence and capability.

Skills Lab is a long-term team development programme, undertaken over 3, 6 or 12 months. The programme is built to flex – whether you’re developing a leadership cohort, backing emerging managers, or levelling up a full team. Every version is tailored to your goals. Want more focus on feedback? Creativity? Leadership mindset? We’ll shape it around what matters most to you.

Not sure where to start? Let’s talk. We’ll help you pick the right track for your team and get things moving fast.

Our team development programmes are tailored to your needs. To give you an accurate quote, we’ll ask a few quick questions, like your team size, location, and whether you want to put a whole team through the programme, or a cohort of managers or emerging managers.

Once we’ve got the basics, we’ll put together a clear, no-obligation proposal with transparent pricing.

We offer charity and non-profit discounts, and also discounts if you have worked with us before or want to book mulitiple services. We'll always do what we can to make it affordable.

Yes. Hack Yourself's Skills Lab is built to flex – whether you’re remote, hybrid or in-person. Sessions can be delivered in any format and still feel energising, engaging and relevant. We typically like to do three in-person sessions, mixed with live online masterclasses, however we can meet you where you are - online, in-person or even on-demand if you prefer.

We thought you'd never ask! Just drop us a message to book a discovery call. We’ll walk you through the options and shape the programme around your team’s needs. We'll then follow up with the proposal, full costs, suggested dates and take it from there.

It’s designed to flex around your people and your goals, but the most popular format is a mix of in-person and digital. The core of the programme is three flagship, full-day training courses delivered in person. These are supported by two high-impact masterclasses (each around 1.5 to 2 hours), plus two on-demand sessions that can be completed in just over an hour. Finally, there’s a two-hour group coaching session to bring it all together. We also provide optional reading recommendations and resources to learn outside of the Skills Lab.

So, across the whole programme, you’re looking at roughly four to five full days of commitment spread across 3, 6 or 12 months.

Your managers often set the pace, energy and culture for the whole team. They’re the bridge between strategy and action. The ones people turn to when things go wrong.

And yet, most managers are thrown into the role with zero support or training. No training. No reset. Just a new job title and a pile of expectations.

That’s a problem.

Because leadership isn’t about having the answers. It’s about communication, decision-making, empathy, clarity, boundaries, self-awareness... stuff we don’t teach enough. And when managers miss out on that learning, their teams feel it.

If you want to build a strong team, starting with your managers is a really good approach. But... we advise choosing the development wisely, as there is a lot of outdated and traditional training that just isn't current enough or practical enough.

The Hack Yourself Skills Lab gives them what they actually need... the most important skills, taught in a way that sticks. Things like how to give honest feedback. How to focus in a world of distraction. How to handle hard conversations. How to show up as a modern leader — even on the tough days. How to find the confidence when they may feel like an imposter.

You can run a dedicated cohort of managers through the programme. We’ll shape it to your goals, your people and your schedule. And they’ll walk away with tools they’ll actually use and habits they’ll keep. And a fresh sense of confidence that spreads across the whole team.
