Following a rigorous application and interview process, eight employees from across the business have been invited to take part in the 12-month Elev8 learning experience.

Led by internationally recognised coach and people developer, Gordon Lord of Get Coaching Ltd, alongside the Nant leadership team, the group will explore their potential in a range of areas including self-awareness, emotional intelligence, communication, coaching, leadership and management of people and strategy.

Eight successful candidates embarked on the inaugural management programme where they spent two days (17th & 18th September) at the prestigious Molineux Stadium, home to the Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Elev8 cohort of 2022 will meet on a monthly basis at a range of iconic venues in and around the West Midlands.

Nant managing director, Carl Baker said: “We are proud to announce the launch of the Elev8 experience. We believe that our people are our most valuable asset and investing in their personal and professional development is at the heart of our philosophy and long-term business strategy.

“The opportunity for the team to work alongside my own coach and mentor, Gordon Lord is inspiring. The feedback from our initial gathering at the Molineux last week has been outstanding and we are all excited to see how the Elev8 experience will help us to grow our people and our business”

Nant scheduling and communications manager, Georgie Newport added: “Our first sessions of Elev8 were so uplifting; Gordon is an incredible leader. He made our group feel so comfortable opening up on the subject of self-awareness. Learning the ability to focus on ourselves, understanding our own thoughts, actions, and emotions, and how we are perceived was so eye opening and inspiring.

“Becoming self-aware is a huge learning experience, as we begin to understand ourselves better, we can strive to recognise our strengths, areas that can be improved upon and create real goals to reach our full potential.

“This is the first step of our Elev8 journey, I’m so grateful and excited to be a part of this amazing opportunity and I can’t wait to see what’s next in store for us!”
