Our Story

From Experience to Impact

Jordan

Co-founder

Nine Dots was founded by friends James and Jordan to make workplaces better for everyone.

After James was promoted without support and Jordan saw untapped potential, they joined forces...

What began as a passion project is now a trusted provider of leadership programmes.

All designed to empower employees and build stronger teams.

What We Do

Our Mission and Values

Nine Dots is a Leadership Development organisation with a mission to:

"Actively seek out and partner with organisations that value their workforce and develop their people to support more positive and sustainable workplace cultures."

We are driven by this mission and governed by our values of being:

  • Approachable
  • Accountable
  • Aligned
Looking out to the horizon

How We Work

Our working principles

We meet clients where they are — whether they need expert support to deliver a clear idea or are still exploring their goals, challenges, and people. Either way, we turn it into a meaningful learning journey with practical, innovative solutions.

Looking out to the horizon

In all instances we seek first to understand the business and its people, then explore where we can add value.

For some clients we are an organisation-wide learning partner and others access our services for bespoke or ad-hoc learning and development support - whatever shape suits best.

We leverage our learning and design on nearly a decade’s worth of training programmes to streamline costs for our clients where we can and where that is not suitable, offer a bespoke design process from the ground up.

How We Do It

We’re proud to offer a wide range of interventions

Training

We design and deliver practical, engaging training sessions that build critical leadership and HR skills for lasting impact.

Coaching

Our experienced coaches support individuals one-on-one to build confidence and drive personal and professional growth.

Facilitation

We guide teams through structured workshops and conversations to encourage collaboration, align goals, and solve complex challenges.

Qualifications

We offer accredited programmes that provide learners with recognised credentials while building real-world capability.

Psychometric Profiling

Using evidence-based tools, we help individuals and teams gain deeper self-awareness to improve leadership and communication.

Funded Programmes

We support organisations to access government funding and deliver high-quality apprenticeships that develop future leaders from within.
