TRAINING & CPD
Turn evidence into practice.
We deliver evidence-informed training and professional development that helps people understand performance and apply psychology within the environments where they work, lead and coach.
From focused workshops and masterclasses to longer-term development programmes, learning is designed around the people in the room and the challenges they face.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Good training changes more than what people know.
A workshop can introduce an idea.
But understanding an idea and applying it when it matters are very different things.
Learning becomes valuable when people can connect it to their own environment, question it, practise it and use it to influence what they actually do.
That is why our training goes beyond simply presenting psychological theory.
We translate evidence into conversations, experiences and practical approaches that people can take back into their own environments.
The objective is not simply to leave people knowing more.
It is to help them think differently about what they do next.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Different roles. Shared performance challenges.
LEADERS
Develop greater awareness of how leadership behaviour influences people, teams and performance environments.
COACHES
Explore how communication, practice design, relationships and behaviour influence athlete learning and psychological development.
TEAMS
Develop shared understanding around communication, pressure, relationships, decision making and effective performance.
PRACTITIONERS
Support psychologists, S&C coaches, physiotherapists and other professionals to integrate psychological thinking into interdisciplinary practice.
EDUCATORS
Translate performance psychology and research into practical approaches for learning, development and education.
PROFESSIONALS
Develop greater understanding of personal performance, pressure, decision making, communication and working effectively with others.
HOW WE HELP
Learning designed around the challenge.
Different development goals require different formats.
We can deliver focused sessions around a specific topic or work alongside organisations to create longer-term learning and development.
WORKSHOPS
Focused learning around a specific challenge.
Interactive sessions combining psychological science, discussion and practical application.
Workshops can be designed for teams, leaders, coaches, practitioners or wider organisations and adapted to the context in which participants actually work.
Sessions can be delivered in person or online.
Masterclasses
Go deeper into an important performance topic.
Masterclasses provide an opportunity to explore a specific area of psychology or performance in greater depth.
They combine evidence, applied examples, discussion and practical implications to develop both understanding and application.
Masterclasses can stand alone or form part of a wider professional development programme.
Development Programmes
Create learning that continues beyond a single session.
Meaningful development rarely happens because of one workshop.
Our development programmes combine learning experiences over time, allowing participants to explore ideas, apply them within their environment, reflect on what happens and continue developing.
Programmes can combine workshops, group discussion, practical activities, individual reflection and ongoing support.
Coach Education
Develop the person developing the performer.
Coaches have a significant influence on the psychological environments athletes experience every day.
Our coach education explores how psychology can inform communication, feedback, relationships, practice design, pressure, decision making and athlete development.
Rather than turning coaches into psychologists, we help them understand how psychological principles can improve the coaching they already do.
Leadership Development
Understand the environment you create around others.
Leadership is not only about the decisions a leader makes. It is also about the environment their behaviour creates for other people.
Our leadership development explores how leaders influence communication, pressure, psychological safety, learning, decision making and team performance.
Programmes are designed around the realities of the organisation rather than a predetermined model of what a leader should look like.
Bespoke CPD
Professional development built around your people.
Not every learning need fits an existing workshop or programme.
We can design bespoke CPD around the challenges, roles and development priorities within your organisation, sporting environment or professional group.
We begin with what you want people to understand or do differently, then build the learning experience around that objective.
WHAT WE CAN EXPLORE
Psychology for real performance environments.
Training can be developed around a range of performance and development challenges.
PERFORMANCE UNDER PRESSURE
Understand how pressure influences performance and explore how people and environments can prepare for it more effectively.
LEADERSHIP
Explore how leadership behaviour shapes the experiences and performance of others.
COMMUNICATION
Develop how people listen, communicate, provide feedback and navigate difficult conversations.
DECISION MAKING
Understand how people think and make decisions when information, uncertainty and pressure increase.
PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY
Explore how environments can allow people to contribute, question, challenge, communicate and learn.
TEAM EFFECTIVENESS
Understand the relationships, behaviours and conditions that influence how teams work together.
COACHING
Apply psychological principles to communication, practice design, relationships and athlete development.
LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT
Explore how environments can encourage reflection, feedback, experimentation and continual improvement.
PERFORMANCE ENVIRONMENTS
Understand how people, leadership, relationships, systems, pressure and culture interact to influence performance.
OUR APPROACH
Evidence-led. Context-specific. Built to be used.
Our training combines psychological science with applied experience and active learning.
EVIDENCE-LED
Content is informed by psychological science, research and established principles of human performance.
CONTEXT-SPECIFIC
Examples, discussions and activities are adapted to the people and environments involved.
INTERACTIVE
Participants are encouraged to question, discuss, reflect and connect ideas to their own experiences.
PRACTICAL
We continually ask what the evidence means for what people actually do.
BEYOND THE WORKSHOP
Development doesn't end when the session does.
A successful workshop can create insight.
Sustainable development requires opportunities to apply that insight afterwards.
Where appropriate, training can therefore include support beyond the initial learning experience.
This might include:
Pre-session discovery
Understanding participants, context and development needs before delivery.
Practical resources
Tools, prompts and materials that help participants continue applying ideas.
Reflection activities
Opportunities to connect learning with real experiences after the session.
Follow-up sessions
Revisiting ideas after participants have had an opportunity to apply them.
Leadership or coach support
Helping the people responsible for the environment reinforce learning within everyday practice.
Evaluation
Understanding what participants learned, what they applied and where further development may be useful.
The aim is to move from learning about performance to influencing how performance actually happens.
FLEXIBLE DELIVERY
Built around your environment.
IN-PERSON
Interactive workshops, development days, masterclasses and facilitated sessions delivered within your organisation or venue.
ONLINE
Focused virtual learning and development for distributed teams, coaches and professional groups.
PROGRAMME-BASED
Multiple sessions delivered over time, allowing participants to learn, apply, reflect and develop.
EMBEDDED
Training delivered as part of a wider consultancy or performance partnership, connecting learning directly with organisational or programme development.
WHY SEABURY PERFORMANCE
Bridging research, education and practice.
Seabury Performance brings together psychology, research, education and experience from real performance environments.
Our work spans university education, professional development, high-performance sport, coaching and organisational consultancy.
That combination influences how we approach learning.
We understand the importance of evidence, but also recognise that presenting research alone rarely changes behaviour.
Our role is to make complex ideas understandable without oversimplifying them, then help people explore what those ideas mean within their own environment.
Understand the evidence.
Apply it to the environment.
Turn learning into practice.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Learning that translates beyond the room.
Use genuine feedback from workshops, university teaching, coach education, presentations or organisational training here.
Ideally select three different perspectives:
Organisational / Leadership Participant
Coach / Sporting Organisation
Education / Professional Development
Prioritise testimonials that mention practical application, engagement, translating complex research or changes in thinking rather than simply saying the presentation was enjoyable.
What do you want your people to understand, develop or do differently?
You don't need to select a workshop from a catalogue.
Tell us about your people, your environment and the challenge you are trying to address.
We'll help determine what the right learning experience could look like.
