Wavelength Training

What Wavelength Training does

Wavelength Training (legal name: Wavelength Ltd.) is a privately held B2B professional services firm headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, that delivers corporate communication skills training to enterprise clients. The company was formed in 2015 through the amalgamation of Brunerbiz (founded by Jody Bruner in 1996) and IWCC, combining over 50 years of combined curriculum history. Wavelength has been woman-owned since 1996, with Jody Bruner continuing as President & CEO. The company offers more than 40 instructor-led courses organized into three core categories: Writing (business writing, reports, technical reports, executive writing, grammar, plain language, email, procedures), Presenting (presentation skills, executive presentations, scientific/technical presenting, storytelling with data), and Interpersonal (crucial conversations, meetings, public speaking confidence, personal branding).

Course delivery spans multiple formats: in-person workshops at client sites (half-day to two-day programs), virtual live instructor-led sessions via video conferencing, 60-90 minute webinars, in-person speaker sessions for events, one-on-one coaching, and a course licensing program for organizations wanting to deliver Wavelength content internally. Underlying technology is limited to a Learning Management System (LMS) used for course administration, participant rosters, and materials distribution; there is no public-facing API, SDK, or software product.

The revenue model is professional services-based: custom per-engagement pricing determined by relationship managers based on client needs, participant count, delivery format, and customization level, with multi-year contracts available. The company employs a consultative, relationship-based enterprise sales motion targeting organizations across financial services, professional services, pharmaceutical, healthcare, aerospace, energy, and government sectors, with named clients including RBC, KPMG, EY, Kaiser Permanente, NASA, Bombardier, Johnson & Johnson, and Ontario Power Generation. Markets served include Canada and the United States.

Broad incumbents

• Skillsoft: Large-scale corporate digital learning platform offering on-demand business, communication, and leadership courses. Broad incumbent competitor for L&D budget share; opposite end of the customization/scale spectrum from Wavelength.
• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with a substantial leadership and professional development training practice. Broad incumbent offering communication and executive presence training as part of a much larger talent consulting portfolio.
• LinkedIn Learning: Subscription-based online learning library from LinkedIn covering business writing, presentation, and communication skills. Broad incumbent; competes with Wavelength for entry-level and self-serve corporate learning spend at much lower price points.

Direct peers

• Vital Learning: Provider of leadership, sales, and communication skills training sold through a licensing and facilitator network. Direct peer given the licensing-led GTM model and overlapping soft-skills curriculum (presentation, communication, leadership).
• The Humphrey Group: Canadian-headquartered executive communication and presentation skills training firm serving large enterprises. Closest direct peer given the shared geography, B2B enterprise model, and focus on communication/presentation skills for senior leaders.
• Communispond: US-based corporate communication and presentation skills training provider serving Fortune 500 clients. Direct peer given overlapping course portfolio (executive presentations, business writing, interpersonal communication) and enterprise sales model.
• Dale Carnegie Training: Global leader in communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills training for business professionals. A direct peer across Wavelength's three pillars (writing, presenting, interpersonal) with a far larger global footprint.
• BTS: Global consultancy offering customized business skills training, simulations, and coaching to enterprise clients. Direct peer in customized, high-touch enterprise communication and leadership development engagements.

Regional players

• Berlitz: Global language and intercultural communication training provider with corporate delivery. Comparable on the instructor-led communication training model, but anchored in language learning rather than business communication as its core.

Emerging players

• Toastmasters International: Membership-based public speaking and leadership development organization. Adjacent rather than directly substitutable (peer-to-peer practice vs. paid enterprise training), but competes for the same end-user attention around presentation skills.
