Who We Are

Metis People Development is a UK-based leadership and management training company founded in 2022 by Jonathan Nimmo and Zach Eaton.
We specialise in helping organisations develop confident, capable managers who can lead with empathy, clarity and impact.
Based in Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire, we deliver programmes in-person across the UK and online internationally, supporting leaders and teams to thrive in times of change.

Our work is built on the belief that great leadership is shaped by understanding people, aligning with organisational values and creating environments where everyone can succeed.

What We Do

We design and deliver bespoke leadership and management development programmes that align with each organisation’s values and strategic goals.
Our core services include:

• Leadership Training – developing confidence, influence and authentic communication.

• Change Management Programmes – equipping managers to lead teams through uncertainty.

• Management Skills Development – coaching, feedback, delegation and performance conversations.

• First-Time and Aspiring Manager Training – preparing future leaders with essential foundations.

• Communication and Collaboration Workshops – improving engagement and cross-team effectiveness.

• AI Prompt Management Training – helping managers use artificial intelligence tools ethically and efficiently.

• Coaching and Facilitation – one-to-one or group sessions to embed learning and drive performance.

Each course is crafted specifically for the client, ensuring content and activities reflect your organisation’s language, culture and priorities.

Who We Work With

We work across all sectors, with particular experience in:

• Healthcare and the NHS

• Higher Education and Universities

• Charities and Not-for-Profit Organisations

• Hospitality and Service Industries

• Plus a range of corporate and public sector teams

Whether supporting a local charity or a large national organisation, our approach remains the same: practical, evidence-informed and human-centred.

Our Approach

Every organisation has its own story, culture and rhythm.
That’s why all Metis training is bespoke, built collaboratively with clients to reflect their own values, goals and challenges.

We believe effective development blends insight with action, mixing psychological understanding with practical application so participants leave every session ready to act.

Our learning design emphasises:

• Relevance – training shaped around your current context.

• Engagement – interactive sessions with real-world application.

• Sustainability – post-course reflection, follow-up and coaching options.

Our Reach

While Metis is proudly UK-based, our facilitators deliver sessions internationally online, allowing teams across time zones to access the same high-quality experience.

We frequently blend in-person workshops with digital sessions to create flexible, cost-effective learning pathways.
