I used Hone training to be a better manager for my team. It has been helping me to be effective by providing strategies for managing, communicating, and leading my team. I also find it very helpful to cross-learn from the experiences of students in Hone classes who are from other organizations. I appreciate the frameworks introduced in classes and the breakout sessions that assist in expanding and deploying the frameworks further, which helps with learning and applying the discussed frameworks. They provide a safe space to practice Hone learnings, which I can then use in real life scenarios with my team. Hone classes have helped me to review constructive feedback in a better way and have helped me gain a better understanding of my direct-reports' mindsets and perspectives. This helps me to have better empathy with them. I also like the breakout and discussion sessions as they are interactive and help to further our learnings.

I really love using Hone for leadership training. Their services fit the best for my leadership journey compared to others like LinkedIn Learning, Udemy, and O'Reilly. What's really good about Hone is that they try to understand business realities and challenges, and their coaches have real business experiences, working with different types of managers and teams. They offer soft skill development to technical skill development needed for managing a team well. I appreciate how all their methodologies work together, allowing us to brainstorm and find solutions that fit our current needs, rather than just receiving a ready-made solution. I find their focus on leader and professional development really well-aligned with what I need, and I'd love to continue and expand more on that.

The most helpful part of Hone is how engaging the instructors are. Instead of the instructor just talking, they make sure the audience / learners are engaged by calling on them and organizing break out rooms where we can engage with the other learners.
