Programs

Built around the work, not the syllabus.

A program is what you use when a single workshop is not enough: a few weeks of live sessions, applied work on the real job, coaching, and a cohort. Each one ends with something done.

About New Professionals →

Cohort seats are the one thing still priced per person.

Everything around them is not. Companies on the platform pay one flat price for the organization, send whoever needs the deeper work into a cohort, priced separately per participant, and put everyone else through the live workshops and the library at no extra charge.

What the platform costs

Being early

The client list is short. That is worth something to you.

Thrive is new. The programs are not. John Ball Zoo has put 100+ first-time leaders through Fundamentals of Leading People. What is new is the function built around them, and while the list of companies on it is short, being on it buys four things it will not buy later.

None of them is a promise about your results. Nobody can promise you a better manager in four weeks. These are the things we control, which is why we will put them in writing.

  1. 01

    The price is published, not quoted.

    Every band is on the pricing page and the same three numbers are what checkout charges. Nobody is quoted a different figure for arriving early or late, and there is no discount to negotiate for, because there is no list price to discount from.

  2. 02

    You set the build order.

    Name a course or a live topic we do not have. The library is one hundred thirty-five courses today and the next ones are chosen from what clients ask for, in the order they ask. What gets built for you goes into the library for every company that comes after.

  3. 03

    The founder is in the room.

    Scoping, your first cohort, and the call on what gets built next happen with the person who designed the programs. That holds while the client list is short, which is the whole reason to be on it early.

  4. 04

    What is missing is written down.

    Scheduled reminders are not built. Coach Taylor answers when a person asks, and nothing chases them yet. Reminders are on the roadmap. A company that tells you what is missing before you pay is worth believing about the rest.

  5. What a month and a year actually bill, and what happens if you stop, is written out on the terms page in the same plain language as this.

Who teaches

Held the job. Not studied it.

Content is the easy part to buy. A dozen vendors will sell you a library this afternoon. What none of them sells is the person who has already done the job, live, for two hours, watching your people practice it.

Every Thrive session is led by someone who has done the work they are teaching: run a shift, carried a quota, managed a team through a change, sat across from the person who needed the hard conversation. They bring the real version of the problem into the room, and the practice is done on your people’s actual work, not on a case study.

Sessions are small enough that a facilitator can watch each person practice and coach the delivery. Between sessions, Coach Taylor keeps the thread going.

Talk to ARIA

Ask what you would ask us.

ARIA works the way a good first call works. She asks who is involved and what should change, recommends the closest starting point, quotes the real price, and hands you to a person when you want one.

Questions

Questions people ask before they call.

What is a blended program at Thrive?

Several weeks with the same weekly shape: short self-paced courses to set the language, a live session with a facilitator, applied work on the participant's real job that their employer reviews, a 1-on-1, and a live debrief with the cohort. It ends with a certificate and a plan, and Coach Taylor carries the plan forward.

Who are the programs for?

Fundamentals of Leading People is for people promoted into their first leadership role or about to be. Selling Essentials is for reps and new sales hires. New Professionals is for early-career people in their first year of professional work.

Can a program run just for our company?

Yes. Any program can also run as a private cohort for your company alone, using your situations as the applied work, on dates set with you. Private cohorts are priced per participant and quoted with the dates. Public cohorts mix companies, which most participants find is the more useful room.

What does a program cost?

Fundamentals of Leading People and Selling Essentials are each $1,000 per seat in a public cohort. New Professionals is quoted with the dates. Cohort programs are priced separately, per participant.
