We know this might be surprising, but we don’t offer group discounts—and here’s why:
At Artisan Agility, our classes aren’t about filling seats. They’re about developing transformational leaders who will make a real difference in their teams and organizations.
Every student gets:
Direct access to the instructor
Personalized coaching and feedback
Space to contribute, challenge, and grow
Discounting that experience—just because more people are in the room—would dilute the depth and attention that make our training so effective.
If you’re investing in a group, you’re investing in culture change—and we’ll give every person in that room 100%.
No shortcuts. No bulk pricing. Just meaningful growth.
