"Engaging and Practical Training Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I really enjoy Hone for the interactive classes that have kept me engaged, and it's great that the training feels practical and easy to apply to the job. I appreciate being able to participate and ask questions in real time to the instructors. It's nice that the classes cover a range of topics like leadership, feedback, peer reviews, and even confidence in the workplace, which are beneficial for personal development and business value. I find the platform is easy to use, and the classes fit well into our work schedules, allowing us to schedule around work. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, and the topics are applicable to various organizational roles. I also value the live, interactive sessions more than the self-driven modules I've used at other facilities, as they allow for more engaging learning and interaction with other participants.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I would say maybe just offer a few more options for time and for classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Professional Training with Consistent Outcomes"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

Hone has been a helpful tool in teaching managers at our company basic management skills, allowing us all to implement a similar methodology and use a common set of tools. It has improved communication during my one-on-ones. The trainers are always very good and follow a standard practice, making the experience easy to follow each time. The coach approach offered by Hone is helpful, and it's a professional experience that provides a good baseline for new managers. I also appreciate that the courses mix in social psychology, helping people understand how to interact with different archetypes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I think it can be a little 'woke' if I'm being honest. But that's a personal preference... others I'm sure see benefit in some of the newer social trends that favor DEI as a staple. Less language with things like 'holding space' for someone or anything else that implies we need to be putting feelings being hurt above making sure people are accountable for their actions and incentivized to succeed based on merit.

"Actionable Training for High-Stakes Leadership"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

By randomly pairing with peers from different industries during live sessions, Hone exposed diverse perspectives on shared leadership hurdles. This "diversity of thought" helped me to find creative solutions to internal challenges that might not have considered otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Sometimes one hour just isn’t enough when there are so many people on the call; a 1 hour 30 mins slot would be a more ideal length for these sessions. Also, it would be great to have more IST-friendly calls. :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging Classes with Valuable Insights"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I find Hone's services extremely useful for leadership training. The live online classes are particularly beneficial for both flexibility and engagement, and the instructors are all engaging. I really enjoy the post-class commitments as they serve as useful reminders. The trainings are on topics that are relevant to my stage in my career, being about a decade in and a manager, and not yet in senior leadership. I've especially found the trainings related to the best use of AI to be helpful. Hone gives my team and me a common vocabulary to speak about decision making and our team culture around change. The additional training and support from Hone during programmatic changes in our organization has been invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I think a bit more time for questions and answers could be good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hone Dashboard Makes Individual Journeys Clear and Easy to Track"
4/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I like the Hone dashboard as it creates an individual journey with all the steps laid out. I am also able to see my entire team of direct reports progress on their own journey which allows me to track progress. I also liked how Hone allowed me to interact with individuals from outside organizations, which provided additional perspective from outside my organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I found a lot of the assigned trainings from my organization filled quickly and I was often limited in my time slots to choose from. This often required me participate in sessions at inconvenient times, such as very early in the morning or very late or night. I appreciate the fact that Hone is accessible to participants from all over the world, but offering more sessions would benefit more people I believe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Elevated Work Habits and Growth with Hone"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I really find Hone valuable for helping increase productivity and developing a better work mindset. It helps improve myself both at and outside of work. The classes are great for showing different work strategies and ways to address difficult situations, helping me create a more open mind to situations. Every class has helped me create better habits and develop better skills and having a different outlook on situations and ways to address problems has been vital learnings. There are new ways to improve work habits and new views on work and life situations. Hone's classes also help find new ways to cope with stress and develop better work habits and strategies.

"Enhances Productivity with Effective Training"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I really appreciate Hone's impact on our time management and organization, as it increases our efficiency when assisting clients in our service-oriented business. Their techniques to deal with stressful daily workloads, methods of prioritization, and removing clutter have been beneficial. The personal sessions and breakout rooms facilitate better communication and more effective training. Hone also provided an outside perspective on client satisfaction and project scheduling issues that we couldn't see internally. Additionally, implementing Microsoft 365 and ConnectWise with Hone has increased the availability of our staff, reduced unnecessary time organizing meetings, and overall improved productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Sometimes, the class scheduling can be difficult with availability. Sometimes the available classes are only weeks or months in advance or in time zones that are difficult to accommodate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Respectful, Expert Hosts and a Practical Training Format That Fits in an Hour"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I joined my first training about a year ago, and since then I’ve participated in every other training offered by Hone, depending on my availability. On top of that, I think I’ve recommended it by now to pretty much all of my colleagues. There are three things I really love about Hone: the amazingly experienced, skilled, and RESPECTFUL hosts (this is the main reason I fell in love with the trainings); the training format - walking through the rules, practicing them in breakout rooms, and sharing experiences - which creates an environment where you actually want to share because you feel like you’re going to get the tips you need; and the fact that the sessions aren’t too long, since anyone can set aside one hour for a training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

At times, I wish the training went a bit deeper into the subject, but I understand there’s only so much that can be covered within the available timeframe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Interactive Classes Enhance Communication Skills"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I found the live interactive classes to be a good balance of the instructor, peers, and getting feedback from everyone involved in the discussion. I enjoy the diversity of the courses and the breakout room discussions. The practical tools are easy to understand and apply. I enjoy hearing how others have put the ideas into practice and learning more about myself and my leadership style. Having mostly face-to-face, respectful conversations is so helpful. Gleaning ideas from others is invaluable. I like the ease of booking and rescheduling (flexibility) as well as the warm communication and kind attitudes from the instructors. The peer engagement is great. I like the variety of courses and would love to see more offerings on well-being for employees and leaders, such as positive psychology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I think some classes could be longer to allow for more discussion, like 90 minutes instead of 60. Sometimes, the breakout sessions feel too short to cover all the questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Focused, Practical Trainings with Easy Scheduling and Flexible Time Zones"
4/5
What do you like best about Hone?

Each training session focuses on one specific topic. The trainings offer a good balance between theory and practical work: you’ll be paired with one or two other participants to role-play what was explained, or simply to discuss your own experiences and ideas related to the discussed topic.

Sessions are usually 60 minutes long, which makes them easy to follow and simple to schedule between work calls if necessary.

The platform also offers a wide range of mentors for specific topics, and they’re based in different time zones. Because of that, most of the time you can find a suitable session time regardless of your own time zone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Personally I would like to have some more theory/information on topics. Especially the learners guide that is handed out sometimes misses some of the information provided which makes it somewhat difficult to revisite the topic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
