Proven Results

Results in Action

StickerYou, a quickly scaling ecommerce client, recognized their front-line managers were the linchpin to sustaining that growth.

FIVEX ran a six-month program to equip eight front-line managers with capabilities and practical tools to better engage, develop, and lead their teams in support of the company’s expansion.

We focused on five critical success factors the business identified as essential to scaling both performance and leadership capacity.

What Makes FIVEX Different

The Peer-Led Learning Lab is designed to increase the personal effectiveness of managers by strengthening their high-performance habits.  Peer learning works differently than other kinds of traditional training. It’s led by other managers you trust, shaped by real experiences, and focused on shared, real-world challenges.

That’s where deeper learning, true mastery, and accountability emerge—driving retention rates of up to 90%, compared to 10–30% for passive learning (research by Edgar Dale). 

90%

Achievable Retention Rates

We leverage the REAL PLAY™ methodology to rehearse high-stakes conversations, decisions, and feedback in a structured, supportive environment. By getting real “reps,” managers build capability that transfers immediately into leading their team or managing upwards.
