Sean McPheat — Co-Founder

Training only matters if it makes a measurable impact. I’ve seen too many leadership and management programmes look impressive on paper but fade once normal work resumes. Courses get completed. Boxes get ticked. Very little actually changes. That’s why I work closely with HR and L&D leaders who want development that improves real performance, not just attendance or satisfaction scores. I’m the Founder and CEO of MTD Training and Skillshub. Together, we help organisations build stronger managers, leaders and sales teams through practical development programmes designed to be applied in the real world. Over the years, my teams and I have worked with more than 9,000 organisations. At that scale you begin to see patterns. You see what sticks, what fades, and why so much training fails to create lasting change. The biggest issue is focus. Too much training is built around activity rather than outcomes. Courses get delivered. Feedback scores look positive. Behaviour stays the same. Our approach is simple: impact over attendance. Everything we design focuses on shifting behaviour, building habits and improving performance in the workplace. Our work spans leadership development, management development and sales training, delivered through blended learning, digital platforms and practical workshops that support application back on the job. The results matter. One FTSE 250 organisation saw a 27% increase in leadership capability within three months. Another generated more than £1.5m in additional sales within six months of a programme launching. We work with multinationals, fast-growing organisations and SMEs. The size varies, but the expectation is always the same: learning must lead to measurable improvement. Alongside leading the businesses, I’m also the author of several practical books on leadership, sales, performance and L&D. I regularly speak at conferences, on podcasts and in the media, focusing on what works when organisations are busy, complex and under pressure. Recognition includes industry awards for L&D and HR impact and being named the UK’s #1 Sales Influencer in the Top 100 Sales Index. Here on LinkedIn I share practical insights for L&D leaders who want to strengthen management development, improve leadership capability and build higher-performing sales teams inside their organisations. If you work in HR or Learning & Development and believe training should deliver real results, you're in the right place.
