In today’s episode our very own Operations Team talk about being a self-managed team.
Our operations team cover a wide range of responsibilities (such as accounting, compliance, HR, programme accreditation and client management). They are the rhythm and base of Mayvin, which helps us to do our best work with clients.

In this episode Our Principal Consultants Tony Nicholls and Carolyn Norgate talk all things programmes – when is a programme not a programme?
A client came to us recently saying ‘we don’t have time or budget for a traditional programme and we have a large number of colleagues to reach. Could Mayvin create something with impact using just two short sessions?' The answer was yes!
Tony and Carolyn explain how. Talking through the key elements of our programmes that are consistent from these small bitesize workshops right up to our full length accredited traditional programmes and our Masters.

In today’s episode we are very grateful to be joined by two more of our current masters cohort – Jennie and Rachel. We asked if they would be up for sharing their experience of the Mayvin Masters programme with you and they sent us this. In this 20min conversation they talk about how their expectations differed from the reality (in a good way), fitting the programme in around full time work, feeling like they’ve really found their tribe in the other members of the cohort and the impact the programme has had on them both professionally and personally including the Masters being responsible for Jennie securing a new job role, feeling like a corporate hippie, and feeling revitalised, re-energized, hopeful and confident.
