Best when taken as a team

When teams learn together, it creates a common language and toolset, shared accountability, strengthens relationships, and builds culture.

Pracademic

Our practical + academic content is deeply rooted in science and made practical with heaps of interactivity, job aids, tools, self-assessments, coaching, group discussions, experiments, and more!

Obsessively curated

We pay special attention to the threshold concepts that stimulate deep learning, changes your forever thinking and develops skills. Content isn’t just passively consumed.

Great for distributed teams

People give us rave reviews about our social learning programs. They especially love how it builds community and camaraderie.

Micro-learning

Learning segments generally happen in 10 minutes or less. These micro-lessons are chock-full of quirky bits and surprises to engage in, contribute to, and learn from.

Technical professionals love us

We create courses that people love. We take the best parts of in-person workshops and bake them into the online experience.

Tailored to best integrate

Our courses take ages to build but little time to tailor. We work with you to reinforce what’s most important and integrate programs into what else is going on for you.

But wait, there’s more!

Our learning coaches and other supports help keep people on track, encourage conversation, connect the dots and create a safe zone to share stories, insights, and questions. 

“FlipU has helped us shift the organizational culture and given us tools and language to deepen our learning in our day-to-day work. Thank you, Samantha and Marc, for your wonderful program!”

 ~ Trish Barbato, President & CEO, Arthritis Society (Canada)

“In selecting a leadership development program, it was really important to find one that aligned with the organizational culture and values we were building. FliP U’s collaborative Leadership-Followership model was a great fit. It provided us a solid foundation for how we function well internally as well as externally with our partners and clients. 

The training gave us a common language, connected us across the organization, helped our people see themselves as one, but most importantly our people felt valued by the investment we were making in them. Team members expressed their gratitude and appreciation. The combination of theory and practical tools/frameworks continue to be used by all of us.” 

~Julie Newman, Director of Talent Management & Engagement, Carizon Family and Community Services (Canada)

“The training delivered by Flip U brought people in the leadership team together to develop their knowledge and skills based on a contemporary leadership model. Flip U delivers material that is fun and easily accessible to people who do not necessarily have an academic background and it encourages students to reflect on and share their own experiences as well as develop practical skills.

 All staff who have completed the Leadership & Followership program have agreed that they learned a range of new skills and have developed greater confidence in performing their roles.

From my position of CEO, I believe that we now have a common model and language for leadership that was missing prior to our journey with Flip U. Our organization has benefited tremendously from having staff complete this training and we fully intend to continue to our relationship with Flip U.

I am a rusted-on Flip U fan.”

~Jeff Scobie, Chief Executive Officer, Macarthur Disability Services (Australia)

Technical skills are important, but perishable.

Durable skills - such as leadership, followership, collaboration, decision making, sales, emotional intelligence, relationship-building, question-asking, etc. - last a lifetime AND make work a better part of life.
