Our EPA model: Making change inevitable

Behaviour change doesn’t happen overnight. Our Engage, Participate, Activate (EPA) framework is built to drive real, lasting change. EPA moves learning beyond theory and into practise, helping participants not just understand new behaviours but embed them into their daily routines.  

  • Engage – Spark curiosity and make learning personally meaningful. 
  • Participate – Dive into active, high-impact sessions where new behaviours are practised and owned. 
  • Activate – Reinforce and embed behaviours into everyday work through targeted tools and interventions. 
Our small-group sessions are the centrepiece of Participate – the moment when learning shifts from theory to action.

13 - Small Groups Why does it work

Why does it work?

Research shows that: 

  • 40% of learning transfer failure happens before training even begins, due to a lack of set-up. 
  • 20% is lost in the learning session itself if it isn’t practical and engaging. 
  • 40% disappears after training if reinforcement isn’t built in. 

Add that up and you’re left with… nothing. 

That’s not a people problem. It’s a design problem. And it’s exactly the problem we solve. Our EPA model builds reinforcement into the fabric of every programme: before, during, and long after. With follow-ups, nudges, coaching and clever memory cues, we help behaviour change go the distance. That’s why 87% of participants apply what they learn in our programmes – a success rate that far outstrips traditional training.  

Live experiences that drive participation in learning

Behaviour change doesn’t happen in one session. That’s why MindGym programmes embed follow-ups and reinforcement into the flow of work, with a variety of activation tools.

Live experiences that reinforce and sustain change

Behaviour change isn’t a one-time event. We ensure new habits stick by embedding them into daily workflows. 

Why small groups?

Because scale starts small.

In small rooms, people drop their guard. They lean in. They challenge assumptions - including their own.  

Someone says, Oh wow, me too. That’s when change becomes contagious. 

Small groups give us the space to: 

  • Coach in real time 
  • Dig into the tough stuff 
  • Tailor the session to what really matters 

No off-the-shelf solutions. Every session is crafted to deliver sharp insights, practical skills and mindset shifts that ripple through your organisation.

It’s this full-system approachbefore, during, and long after the sessionthat sets MindGym apart and turns learning into measurable business impact.

If you’re here, it’s probably because surface-level change doesn’t cut it.
