ideas, tools and stories to help people develop human skills

Two people are sat on wooden chairs and one person is sat in the middle on the floor. They are all laughing and one person is eating popcorn.

WHY WE EXIST

The Blocks is here to help you build your self, your career and your dream.

After years of seeing people struggling to overcome the challenges of modern life and work, we decided to create a space to help people develop the necessary skills to create the personal and professional life they want.

Through our workshops, we help you to build the all-important human skills needed to thrive at work, think big, and go after what you want.

OUR PHILOSOPHY: HUMAN SKILLS ARE THE SKILLS OF THE FUTURE.

“Workplaces can teach technical ability because it’s what they specialise in. It’s what’s needed from people to get the job done.

But we create impact and get to where we want to be by building our human skills – think emotional intelligence, confidence and supporting others.

In a world becoming more and more reliant on technology, human skills are the skills of the future. They’ll help us to build career longevity, lift others up, and transform the impact that organisations have on society.”

- Hayley Dawson, Founder of The Blocks Academy

“I’M MORE MOTIVATED THAN EVER TO WANT TO DO A GOOD JOB”

“The Craft Your Career workshop has transformed the way I work. I’ve identified all the great things about my job, which I couldn’t see before. I’m more motivated than ever to want to do a good job and create a positive impact through my work.”
