Skills Booster Hub

When kindness goes, trust and morale go with it.

In tough times, kindness is often the first thing to go. Learn how to lead with kindness in difficult moments and embed it into your team’s culture.

When energy drops, performance follows. A team running on empty can’t innovate, collaborate, or deliver their best. But energy, positivity, and motivation are just as contagious as stress.

Ninja Lindsay will share how managers can spark trust, belonging, and motivation, even in tough times. You’ll leave with practical ways to boost morale, build resilience, and create a team culture that lifts performance rather than drags it down.

Many of us end up managing projects without any formal training — thrown in the deep end and expected to deliver.

This free Ninja Skill Booster, presented by Ninja Matt, gives you a simple, repeatable framework for planning, running, and delivering projects on time and on budget — whether you’re managing something small or something that touches the whole business.

In just 30 minutes, you’ll pick up practical techniques covering the full project lifecycle, including risk analysis and stakeholder engagement.

It’s not just about the tools and templates either; we’ll also explore the people side of project management — how to communicate clearly, keep your team on track, and bring your stakeholders along for the ride.

You may have aced our Productivity Ninja training, or perhaps you’re new to Productivity Ninja, and simply recognise that most productivity systems can fall apart when life gets busy. Either way, momentum fades. Projects lose their shine, boring tasks pile up and the familiar cycle of overwhelm, procrastination and self-criticism return.

The problem isn’t discipline, and it certainly isn’t that Productivity Ninja is wrong for you. ADHD brains are built for speed, creativity and novelty; they just need a few unique adaptations. Challenges with working memory, filtering, time awareness and energy regulation can make typical systems feel fragile, even when they’re fundamentally sound.

This Productivity Ninja Skills Booster bridges that gap. It’s designed for anyone who wants ADHD-aware productivity tools, for themselves or for their team, whether you’ve done Productivity Ninja once, many times, or not at all.

In this practical, ADHD-aware session, Think Productive’s ADHD expert consultant Giles Orford will help you learn how to adapt CORD (or build a simple, ADHD-friendly system if you’re new to it): capture tasks more reliably, organise around energy and context, revive stalled projects and make routine work more engaging. You’ll explore body doubling, novelty, immediate rewards and “making it easy” variations to build momentum, as well as kinder reviews, ‘fierce prompts’ and simple accountability to help your unique system stick.

No rigid rules. No attempt to fix or force those brilliant brains. Just practical experiments to help you.

When priorities shift, structures change, and new expectations keep appearing, teams look to their manager for clarity.

But many managers are navigating the same uncertainty themselves. Without the right approach, change can create confusion, resistance and a drop in morale.

In this Skills Booster with Ninja Lindsay Calder-Recknell, we’ll explore practical ways to lead teams through change with clarity and confidence. You’ll learn simple techniques for how to keep clear communication open during times of change, maintain trust and help your team stay focused when the ground keeps moving. It’s about more than managing change. It’s about leading people through it.

When every decision has to pass through you, nothing progresses until you’re free. Your team waits, momentum stalls, and the small calls pile up alongside the big ones until sign-off itself becomes the bottleneck. In this session, you’ll learn a simple way to sort which decisions genuinely need you and which ones your team is already equipped to make. Save your seat and start the year without being the hold-up.

When you can’t see your team, it’s easy to start counting hours instead of results. People feel checked on rather than trusted, and you’re left guessing who’s coping and who isn’t. In this session, Lee Cottier shares practical strategies to build trust with people you don’t share a room with, so you can stop watching and start backing them.
