What do you like best about Hone?

I use Hone for training purposes, and it’s really broadened my horizon. I've found some of the classes extremely helpful, especially in applying AI to my work processes and improving my problem-solving and communication with my team. I really like the PDFs that come along with the Hone classes, allowing me to refer back to them later. The breakout rooms are great for talking to others in our classes, and meeting people in different positions experiencing similar challenges is really nice for collaboration. I also find the titles of some classes intriguing, which keeps me curious and engaged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I think one change that I would make would be a little bit more about diving into maybe a problem a little bit more. And then maybe providing more hands on solutions, I would say. Obviously, that's kind of a broad statement, but maybe just giving the candidates that are participating in the class the ability to provide more details as to what works for them, what doesn't work for them, and how somebody could take that to their company.

"Effective Leadership Training with Engaging Classes"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I use Hone for leadership training, and I really like the classes. Members of our team who use the service enjoy it, so it was opened up to more of us for additional training. We've had an excellent experience with Hone in the past. It has helped me hone in on the correct communication with my clients and manage my day better, allowing me to get more work done with less stress and deliver with clarity. I really like the deliverables; being in one-hour classes is an excellent use of my time, and having the resources in a deck afterwards to refer back to is very valuable. The classes are well laid out, and the instructors or leaders are excellent and know their craft well. I'm looking forward to the next four classes I have planned. The service is very effective with manageable bites of information that you can actually put to use right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I think that offering more of a selection of times would be effective. For me, I did have an issue where I thought I was booking a 3PM class, and it was actually 3AM. I had to cancel it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transformative Communication Training for Teams"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I have attended several Hone classes for training on communication tactics, and they are extremely helpful with diffusing intense situations during meetings with clients and customers. The communication courses are helpful to create happy and healthy relationships with customers. Courses like transforming conflict into collaboration and identifying the right conflict style are great for communication with clients. The Leading compassionate conversations course taught me that using specific terminologies helps create healthy relationships with customers and clients. Even though the classes are through Google Meet, the in-person and group communication is very beneficial. Interacting with people from other companies and sharing previous experiences is a great tool. Overall, I find Hone classes perfect and extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

There is nothing to dislike, the classes are short,easy to follow along with, and extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

What I like best about Hone is the strong focus on practice and the opportunity to actively apply theory in real-life scenarios. The sessions are highly interactive, which makes learning engaging and practical rather than purely theoretical. I also really value how well-prepared the trainers are — they are knowledgeable, clear, and create a supportive environment that encourages participation and meaningful discussion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Honestly, there isn’t anything significant that I dislike about Hone. So far, my experience has been very positive. The sessions are well-organized, engaging, and practical, and the trainers are highly professional. If anything, I would just say I wish there were even more courses available, because the quality makes you want to continue learning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Leadership with Effective Communication"
4/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I love that each class really encourages open communication with all attendees. The powerful questions class that I took allowed me to walk into meetings with improved communication. He explained in a thorough way how to communicate in different scenarios and to different people. I walk into meetings feeling more confident knowing that I can communicate in an effective way because of the different types of powerful questions I learned about from my class. With each of the attendees being from such different work environments, it actually helps each person take away so much more as we each have different perspectives and a lens we hear info through and questions through.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I don’t dislike anything that I have experienced so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Engaging Workshops with Practical Deliverables"
4/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I use Hone for my job as a manager to help me level up my soft skills. It helps us be a stronger team, leveraging strengths and learning how to delegate and coach towards a goal. I've noticed improvements in leveraging team strengths and making one-on-one interactions more impactful. I really value the expertise of the people leading the workshops; they are usually very knowledgeable and engaging. The deliverables are easy to manage, allowing me to practice the specific things I've learned in small, manageable ways. This class/instructor style, along with engaging content and useful homework, makes me want to attend more classes and encourages me to continue our partnership with Hone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Maybe follow up for the homework, discussion boards for accountability for how we implement or to dig into the topics further with instructors and others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Valuable Leadership Insights with Room for Depth"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I like that Hone provides leadership training that addresses the basics of management, feedback and recognition, and structuring 1-1s. I appreciated the ideas on leading psychologically safe teams and liked the survey they offered to use with our teams. The dual concern model is valuable as it helps me understand the psychology behind team members, aiding in more effective management. It’s also helpful in thinking through why people act the way they do, and leveraging that understanding for better collaboration. I find resources with takeaway materials to support implementation very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Some of the classes are too basic, like the 1-1 structure class. Maybe they could be leveled by the manager's experience level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hone: Empowering Leadership with Effective Collaboration"
4/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I enjoyed a couple of classes a lot, especially the ones on giving feedback that lands, transforming conflict into collaboration, and cross-functional collaboration. The classes helped me understand how to collaborate better with different teams like presales, product, and engineering. I also liked the collaborative model where the teacher engaged with the group for open discussion and the breakout sessions to meet others in the industry and work through specific challenges. I found these sessions really helpful. Additionally, I appreciate having data-backed pieces to capture the topics, which I think the team did a pretty good job at. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I guess maybe just, like, if there's any opportunities to, like, collaborate more or if there's more, like, working sessions, around AI, I think that would be helpful too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Enhanced our Leadership Development with Stellar Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Hone?

I really appreciate Hone's emphasis on live, specific instruction for hands-on skill and capability building. I'm especially impressed with their innovations in AI role plays. The service and support from our account manager and others at Hone have been exceptional—they've been a great partner. I value the educational offerings Hone provides to me as a Talent Management leader and to our employees. They're always evolving the content they provide, and I enjoy their roundtables and opportunities to partner with other talent management professionals. Hone’s classes on using generative AI to expand our learning mindset, skills, and productivity have been particularly valuable as we adopt enterprise Chat GPT. These offerings help us grow our team's knowledge and capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I'd like to see more role-specific and technical types of applications. Also, I'd appreciate more senior leadership content. Our people managers, as they become more experienced, would like richer, more nuanced content to help with their leadership journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
