Why I founded the Academy
After thirty years in L&D, I saw the same pattern again and again. Training became the first response, not always the right one. Talented teams stayed busy while real influence sat elsewhere.
I founded the TwentyOne Leadership L&D Academy to change that.
To help L&D professionals ask better questions, make stronger judgements, and earn credibility with leaders, all while making a huge impact on the success of the business or organisation.
Who is the Academy for?
For L&D teams and professionals who want to move beyond delivery and operate as trusted partners.
We strengthen consulting capability, judgement, and the confidence to make sound decisions and a lasting impact.
'This year, I had the privilege of learning from the brilliant Matt Williams at TwentyOne Leadership Ltd, deepening my skills in learning design and facilitation. Their expertise and generosity truly elevated my practice, and I'm seeing such positive results throught evaluation. Thank you for such a transformative experience.'
