"I cannot teach anybody anything; I can only make them think".
- SocratesIgniting the Spark of Transformation, Training Consortium is a leadership development and HR consulting firm. We help organisations grow by growing the people who lead them.
We were founded in Colombo in 1999 on a simple premise: a consultant succeeds only when the client’s results improve. In 2022 we opened Training Consortium Global in Singapore. Today we serve clients from Singapore, Colombo and Dubai, and online across the world.
Our work runs from the individual to the whole organisation. We coach senior leaders one to one, run management and executive development programmes, build mentoring systems, and advise on HR strategy, succession and culture.
Every engagement begins with diagnosis, through 360-degree feedback, psychometric profiling and conversations with the people involved. We then design for that organisation alone, coach alongside the learning, bring each leader’s supervisor into the process, and measure what has changed.
We keep strict confidentiality and work to the International Coaching Federation Code of Ethics.
