  • 3x4 Coaching is one of the best leadership development experiences I have seen. It is at the heart of large programs that we deliver in some of the world’s leading energy, banking, and manufacturing companies and we consistently get exceptional feedback. The model is practical, grounded in both research and practice – and when it’s brought to life by Third Factor’s world-class facilitators, the results are transformational.
