Creating ‘Kinship’ in a Corporate Environment:
For the last three years, Acorn Coaching and Development has hosted an annual gathering of senior leaders from the UK division of an international corporate.

How to Accelerate Bid Team Performance
At Acorn, we have many years of experience of accelerating bid team performance, whether accelerating the alliance of a number of companies coming together, or optimising the diversity of ideas within a single business. Common to all situations is the need for the bid team to create a key differentiator from its competitors.
Getting the Most from Your Training Investment
The training and development of your staff costs money – a lot of money – so it needs to add real value to your business. Acorn focus on making sure all our training and coaching is practical, realistic and in line with business goals. We also make sure you get the best value possible from your training and coaching investment.
