Our Expertise Know-How That Combines Science and Real-World Experience

Adopting new behaviours can’t simply be done with an ambitious snap of the fingers! At The A Effect, we design programs that create the conditions to make change stick. We rely on two powerful levers: meticulous methodology based on concrete data, and the experience of those in the field who continuously share the latest developments of the professional world with us.

To Act On

Setting an ambitious, realistic, and measurable goal from the start is what pushes participants to step out of their comfort zone. Throughout the program, this challenge acts as a driver for change, anchoring the learnings in daily life.

Our microlearning approach is based on diversity of sources, regularity, and varied formats that encourage learning retention. For 100 days, the participants are exposed to a series of materials (videos, articles), encouraged to reflect on key issues, and prompted to take action.

Changing behaviour starts with a deep understanding of oneself. That’s why each learning experience invites personal reflection, followed by tangible application in the workplace. By alternating between these two ways forward, theory and practice, participants expand their comfort zone and develop long-lasting habits.

By sharing their professional experiences candidly, the women and men invited to speak during events offer participants stories they can identify with and the keys to asserting their own leadership style. Doubts, epiphanies, setbacks: our leaders tell it like it is. This diverse range of voices fuels ambition and breaks down many barriers.

The triads, squads, and small groups in the workshops make it possible to discuss, try out ideas, and see things differently. Simply put: to benefit from the group’s collective intelligence. These relationships lead to powerful conversations, concrete ideas to try out, and a lasting sense of collective momentum.
