I would like more workshops and more 1x1 coaching from the trainers, rather than just group settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Sales Bar lay out can be a bit confusing at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I liked best about Factor 8 was how attentive John Healy was throughout the program. He took the time to truly understand our leadership gaps and customized the training to meet our specific needs. The program didn’t just offer theory—it left our leaders with a wealth of practical skills and tools they can carry with them throughout their careers. That level of personalization and long-term impact made the experience incredibly valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There weren’t many downsides, but if I had to mention one, it would be the Salesbar online learning platform. It was a bit confusing at times to understand what was due and when. A more user-friendly interface or clearer navigation would definitely improve the experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our experience with Factor 8 has been deeply rewarding and impactful. What stood out most was the authenticity and effectiveness of the coaching. John Healy’s facilitation style brought a unique blend of humour, empathy, and real-world relevance, making each session engaging and memorable.

We appreciated the clarity of expectations set throughout the program, which helped our leaders better understand their roles and responsibilities. The hands-on practice, especially around difficult conversations, was invaluable—giving our team the confidence and tools to navigate complex situations with professionalism and empathy.

The learning materials from Factor 8 were another highlight. They were clear, concise, and interactive, allowing participants to quickly absorb foundational concepts and immediately apply them through practice and affirmation. There was no filler—just meaningful, actionable content that respected our time and delivered results.

John’s ability to support with curiosity and respect, while still challenging each leader to grow and strive for their best, created a safe yet motivating learning environment. This balance of encouragement and accountability helped drive consistency in leadership behaviors, increase team engagement, and empower leaders with purpose.

While our partnership with Factor 8 has been overwhelmingly positive, there are a few areas where we see opportunities for enhancement:

Extended Session Time: The sessions were highly engaging and packed with valuable insights, but at times felt too short to fully explore complex topics or allow for deeper discussion. Longer or more frequent sessions could help reinforce learning and provide additional time for reflection and practice.

Follow-Up Reinforcement: Post-session follow-ups or micro-learning refreshers could help sustain momentum and reinforce key concepts over time. This would support long-term behavior change and ensure continued growth beyond the initial training.

These are minor areas for improvement in an otherwise outstanding partnership. Addressing them could take an already excellent experience to the next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

John as a facilitator! Content is great but without an outstanding facilitator the message can get lost or not leveraged to it's full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we could see John twice a quarter and not once! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Factor 8’s 90-day plan as it keeps me focused by allowing regular reviews of past accomplishments, while clearly articulating focus areas for the upcoming quarter. The COACHN model and framework around difficult conversations are incredibly beneficial for managing a high-performing business team effectively. I also find driving performance with GOALS particularly beneficial as it helps me differentiate between goals, milestones, KPIs, missions, and values, ensuring clarity in our team’s connection to the company's objectives. Their services are very practical and easy to implement immediately, with role plays and concrete examples making them the perfect partners I look forward to having.

Absolutely nothing. If I had to pick one thing it would be that John Healy wasn't here as often as I would've wanted him to be Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
