WHAT

Right content, right time

Lightbulb hosts bite-sized video content that helps managers and employees get the most out of their 1:1 conversations.  

We have partnered with Anna Wildman, Former Chair of the CIPD performance management conference, Author of Now You’re Talking: The Manager’s Complete Handbook to Leading Great Conversations at Work, and creator of the CEDAR collaborative feedback model, to both write and narrate all OpenBlend's Lightbulb coaching guides.

WHY

Combining needs

Businesses need their managers to be effective, managers need to have successful teams and individuals need to perform. The need to upskill managers is high, yet traditional training solutions struggle to create sustainable change. 

To change behaviour, people need the right content delivered in the right moment that is easily consumed. 

Lightbulb addresses that need.

HOW

Coaching at your fingertips

Offering twelve coaching pathways, Lightbulb supports managers and employees in two ways:

Coaching guides: Each guide contains actionable advice on how best to approach specific conversation topics, how to frame and guide 1:1 discussions in the best way, as well as challenges to consider, and plenty of other helpful resources.

Coaching lightbulbs: These are the nuggets of knowledge that managers and employees can instantly tap into when they need help preparing for a 1:1 conversation.

RESOURCE

Learning in the moment with Lightbulb 

1:1 conversations can either fuel employee engagement or throw a wrench in the works. They can be the driving force behind stellar performance or a roadblock. But here's the clincher: effective 1:1s can mean the difference between keeping top talent on board or fast-tracking their exit.

Find out how Lightbulb helps organisations teach and guide managers and talent to have better and far more effective 1:1 conversations.
