We train public servants for the mission of public service

If you’re here, you already know that public service is vital. You know the public sector does things the private sector could never do. And you know public servants have to do those things differently.

That’s why public servants deserve more than find-and-replace versions of training designed to hold Big 4 consultants to profitability targets.

Upsides Training provides training for public servants by former public servants who are as committed to your mission as you are.

Why our public service training works

Our most popular courses for public servants address the perils we saw in our public service careers:

•            Talented, driven people leaving the service because what they thought were the success skills, weren’t

•            People in decay, bitter because they were defeated years ago but they never left

•            Managers who lost their mojo under a pile of budget papers

You and we are on the same page here (literally) because we both believe from head to boots that it doesn’t have to be this way.

Why not book a call to talk to a public sector specialist who’ll understand the situation you’re describing? You’re not limited to our menu of popular courses. You tell us where it hurts, and we’ll work together to find a way to make your mission more manageable.

We’ll be able to do that because we understand where you are. That’s because we’re not (just) traffickers in theory. We’ve stood in front of the same obstacles as you. We’ve felt the same frustrations and, yes, we’ve also ground our teeth to nubs, the way you are right now.

We know there’s a better way to achieve impact as a public servant. We’ve written the book on it, and we’re dying to bring it to your team.

Make a dent in the universe

Imagine if your people had every tool they needed to make the impact that called them to public service in the first place.

Well… we can’t double your budget, but we can help your people double their resourcefulness.

That multiplication in resourcefulness will come from training that understands the realities your people work within, where their heads (and hearts) are at and what they need to achieve.

You may not believe that training can motivate and illuminate, but that’s exactly what our training does. And motivated staff grab our tools with both hands and start making a dent in the universe.

So why not book an exploratory call now and let’s start mapping the path. You’ll get a rapt audience (we love nothing more than hearing about each new pocket of the public sector!) and a frank and fearless consideration of how to meet your team’s needs. No upsell, no spin. If, after talking, we don’t think Upsides has what you need, we’ll tell you (and possibly refer you to one of our loose network of fellow public sector supporting good-eggs).
