Help your managers
do more with less.
Performance support
in the flow of work.
QuickCoach® gives managers and their teams help in the moment, a new skill every month, and live sessions with the experts behind the lessons. Athena, our AI performance coach, ties it together with your company’s own policies. Your L&D team builds performance for every employee, without adding headcount.
See How It Fits Together
More change, leaner teams,
and fewer people who want the job.
of stressed leaders have considered leaving leadership altogether.
of managers say more is expected of them than a year ago, and they have to work harder.
of managers worldwide have ever received any management training.
Priorities shift, teams run lean, and managers are expected to keep up. Those skills are not built in a single event. Managers need help in the moment, practice with people who know the subject, and reminders until new habits stick. Few L&D teams have the people to provide all of that for every manager.
So we built the pieces to work together.
Help in the moment. Skills that build over time.
Experts when you need them.
Each piece works on its own. Together they cover how managers build skills: on the job, every month, and live with the experts.

Help at the moment it's needed.
Back to work in minutes.
A situation comes up.
A manager realizes her 2:00 one-on-one will include feedback her direct report won't want to hear.
She asks Athena.
She describes the situation. Athena draws on 35+ coaching tools and your company's policies to help her plan what to say.
She practices it.
Athena role-plays the conversation with her, then suggests a five-minute expert lesson on giving difficult feedback.
She walks in ready.
Just enough, just in time, and just for her. When she wants to go deeper, there’s a live session with the expert.
Not another generic AI.
General AI assistants can search your files. Athena is an AI coach, set up by your L&D team and grounded in two things: expert content, and your own company and industry information.
She knows your company.
Your team loads Athena with your own documents: leave policies, tuition benefits, your leadership model. She coaches with them and shares the right one when it applies.
She's backed by experts.
Her guidance comes from 3,000+ lessons by 180+ business authors and executive coaches, not the open web.
She helps you get it done.
She doesn't just reflect your questions back. She works through the problem with you and hands you a tool to use today, from 35+ coaching tools.
