Why we exist

The Turning Force

The quote constantly used for change is that change is the only constant. Do you see something there? We do.

We believe in the human desire to respond to a calling — to rise, to revolt, and to transform their world and the world around them.

We call that desire the turning force. Without it, no framework or strategy flies. Without it, all meetings are a lull. Without it, we stay mediocre at best.

What we turn on

Eight Ways to Transformation

Every one of them designed around the specific people in the room, the outcomes you need, and the context the learning has to survive.

How it runs

Four Turns, Not Four Steps

A step takes you forward. A turn changes the direction you are facing. Every Torque engagement runs through these four.

Turn 01
Find the turn-offs
We start with what is in the way. Interviews, floor time, honest conversations with the people who will be in the room — not a form emailed to a distribution list.
Run the Turn-Off Finder
Turn 02
Design for these people
Every programme is built around the specific people in the room, the specific outcomes you need, and the specific context in which learning has to land and stick.
Turn 03
Turn the room on
Facilitation with turn-on sauce: experiential, digital where digital helps, and relentlessly aimed at behaviour rather than recall.
Turn 04
Leave the turning behind
Internal trainers, playbooks and learning materials that keep working long after we have gone. Our best engagements are the ones you outgrow us on.

What a Client Said

Umair's extensive experience, engaging delivery, and ability to simplify complex communication concepts made the session both impactful and enjoyable. His insights on effective communication and team collaboration offered valuable takeaways for our team. It was truly worth having him over, and we look forward to future opportunities to learn and collaborate.
