About us

Our story

Developing Talent was founded in 2008, based on a simple belief held by its founder, Tessa McEwan. That organisations were investing good money in people development but very often, nothing really changed afterwards. She believed that development could be approached in a more effective way, and in a way that leads to lasting behavioural change.

Now, combining more than two decades of experience in development, with her business partner having more than two decades of experience in senior leadership roles, the focus is on delivering highly relevant, practical and engaging programmes that are beneficial to both participants and organisations.
