Why PodPal?

Soft skills shape how teams communicate, lead, and collaborate, but they’re hard to practise. PodPal gives individuals and teams a way to rehearse the real stuff in short, focused sessions that fit around their busy day.

Think of it as rehearsal for real mahi — short, focused practice sessions that fit naturally into the workday and actually build capability where it counts: in daily interactions.

PodPal creates contextualised scenarios based on your world, your industry, your culture, your challenges, so people build confidence and capability where it counts: in their daily interactions.

  • For individuals

    • A private space to practise tricky situations before they happen.
    • Helpful prompts that build confidence and self-awareness.
    • Bite-sized learning moments that fit naturally into the workday.
  • For teams

    • Shared scenarios that spark open kōrero and reflection.
    • Consistent language and expectations across roles.
    • Stronger trust, connection, and teamwork.
  • For businesses

    • Clear visibility of emerging skill trends through anonymous user logs.
    • Data-driven insights to guide development priorities.
    • A way to embed learning culture across the organisation, not just tick boxes.

Built for learning, not just content

Where traditional tools deliver information, PodPal delivers transformation.

PodPal isn’t a chatbot or text generator. It’s designed from the ground up for practising human skills. By being directly embedded within Skillpod’s Microlearns, your people get the chance to put new ideas into action straight away.

Where other tools deliver information, PodPal creates real practice and real insight. It helps people grow through experience and helps leaders see what’s really shifting across their teams.

It’s hands-on learning that sticks.

Data that’s safe, local, and useful

PodPal’s data is securely stored in Australia, supporting data-sovereignty and privacy standards for Aotearoa and our neighbours. All logs are fully anonymous, giving you valuable learning insights without compromising individual privacy.

You’ll be able to see patterns – what skills are being practised, where confidence is growing, and where more support might be needed – all while protecting your people’s trust.
