Doing good work is no longer enough.

You can be technically excellent and still be invisible. Do partners even know your name yet? Does a pitch make you feel nauseous? Business development is a skill. You can learn it, 15 minutes at a time.

Why 15 minutes a day works

Spaced learning means returning to an idea little and often, which helps it stick. BDA One is built around it: one 15-minute step a day, every day. Small, regular effort compounds into real results.

What members say

“

I came out of my training contract technically strong… but commercially lost… 15 minutes a day felt manageable, but the impact grew quickly. I’m more confident speaking to clients, and partners have noticed.

I was winging it and hoping for the best… BDA One broke it down into something practical and actually usable. It’s now part of my daily tube ride.

“

I used to feel completely out of my depth with clients… The 15-minute format fits around the long days, and I’ve already started contributing more confidently in meetings.
