'real skills for real results'

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who are the people behind The Business Ladder?

The Business Ladder was started by entrepreneurs Rory James MacLaren-Jackson and Fabio Del Piero, bringing together years of business experience in both large corporates and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), across a variety of industries, from both an employed and a start-up perspective. Our unique approach is an energetic blend of the skills, knowledge and experiences which we successfully bring to our business training courses and consultancy services, through our various training channels.

What makes your training different?

At The Business Ladder we pride ourselves on our real experience in the field successfully starting and running businesses. We don’t simply ply you with academic theory or pure book learning; with us, what you get is practical learning and skills, hence 'real skills for real results'.

It’s The Business Ladder way to always teach theory along with a real, useful practical application that will tangibly benefit you and your organisation. Moreover, our tried and tested training methods are designed to inspire and enthuse as well as train, tapping our attendees’ desire to develop their business skills and understanding in a concrete, productive manner.

Most importantly, all of our training courses and consultancy services benefit from our unique analysis from The People PerspectiveTM, a method which puts emphasis on the key relationships in your business and improving them to effect positive changes in performance, productivity and profitability.

'Inspire'? 'Enthuse'? Are you saying your training might be... well... FUN?!

Yes, absolutely! Although some providers may disagree, training doesn't have to be lifeless, boring or downright soporific. On the contrary, we believe that all kinds of training are most effective - and people learn faster and retain ideas more firmly - when they are enjoying themselves, thus feeling connected and involved in what they are learning and more likely to apply it in practice. That's why everything we do transmits the energy and enthusiasm that we ourselves feel as entrepreneurs and businesspeople, so that you and your delegates get trained and inspired to be the best you can be in business.

The positive feedback that we receive for our training courses and consultancy services lets us know that we are doing our job right.

If you are not specialists in my industry, how suitable are your training and consultancy services?

Of course we cannot be experts in every field from manufacturing to running a coffee shop, but our unique approach is designed precisely to be valid and effective for any business that has 'people' as an intrinsic part of the puzzle (which is pretty much all of them!)

In fact, the insight that we bring through The People PerspectiveTM is based on universally applicable skills such as the ability to perform sensitive analysis, ask the right questions, listen between the lines and ultimately help our clients improve key relationships and processes to develop their business. This is the knowledge and the approach that we apply to help you refine your practices and methods in whatever industry you operate.
