Building joyful growth for managers and their teams
Boon provided a solution that bridged personal and professional development, especially for managers, to create a culture of learning and joyful growth.
Managers were drowning
Teaching Lab grew from 30 to 120 employees in 18 months. Their "Head, Heart, Habits, and Equity" model demanded deep facilitation skills, but the managers leading that work were overwhelmed. Most were first-time managers, promoted for subject-matter expertise rather than leadership experience.
The fully remote workforce meant managers were navigating isolation, burnout, and boundary-setting without the informal support that comes from sharing an office. Traditional executive coaching was too expensive to offer broadly, and one-size-fits-all training missed the mark for a team with such specialized needs.
On-demand coaching that actually scales
Teaching Lab launched Boon Scale with a focus on manager well-being and practical skill-building. Managers could book sessions whenever they needed support, with no waiting for cohort starts.
Program Design
Measurement & Reporting
“We needed something that could meet managers where they were, not force them into a rigid schedule. The flexibility meant people got help when they actually needed it, not three weeks later when the crisis had passed.”
Measurable impact in 12 months
After one year with Boon Scale, Teaching Lab saw dramatic improvements in manager retention, well-being, and leadership capability.
Well-being Improvement
Pre/post assessments showed a 41% reduction in reported stress levels and a 38% increase in manager confidence navigating team challenges.
Organizational Impact
HR could demonstrate ROI with aggregate data on participation, competency growth, and retention, without compromising individual confidentiality. The results were compelling enough that Teaching Lab has since expanded their Boon partnership to include Exec and Together.
“The platform gives us visibility without surveillance. I can show our exec team that coaching is working, with participation rates, satisfaction scores, and competency growth, without ever compromising individual privacy. That balance is everything.”
