QuickCoach® Essentials

One skill a month.
Five minutes at a time.

You choose the skill your people need each month. Every manager and employee gets a page of short lessons on it from leading authors, coaches and consultants, on a site branded for your organization.

Every 2 min The most-interrupted employees get a meeting, email or chat every two minutes of the core workday. Microsoft Work Trend Index, 2025
1% of the workweek is all the time employees have for training and development. Bersin by Deloitte, Meet the Modern Learner
317 experiments reviewed: learning spread out over time is remembered longer than learning crammed into one sitting. Cepeda et al., Psychological Bulletin, 2006

Short lessons on one skill, spread across the month, fit the time people have and the way people remember.

You set the focus. We deliver the lessons.

Busy people don't have an afternoon for a course. Essentials puts one skill in front of them each month, in lessons short enough to watch between meetings.

Step 1

Pick your topics and dates

Choose the skills that fit your priorities and set when each one goes live. Line them up with a program, an initiative or a problem your teams are facing.

Step 2

Your people learn from experts

Your branded site fills with 15 to 18 five-minute lessons on that skill, taught by the authors and coaches who wrote the books on it. Each lesson leaves people with something to use that day.

Step 3

See who's using it

Your admin dashboard shows views and completions. When logins are on, people take a short quiz and earn a certificate for each topic.

Dr. Marshall Goldsmith

“Our research on behavioral change has shown a very clear and consistent pattern. If leaders get ongoing reminders, ongoing development, ongoing feedback, they're much more likely to improve.”

Dr. Marshall GoldsmithExecutive coach and author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There, from his QuickCoach lesson on e-coaching

An admin site that does more than report.

Essentials gives you more than the monthly page. Your admin site opens the full QuickCoach library, so you can find lessons for a coaching moment, build playlists for your own programs, and share them across the organization.

We host it and run it. There's nothing for your IT team to install, and your branded site can be live in about a day.
