We run a wide-range of in-house and open workshops and webinars aimed at supporting a particular area of skill development to support people and organisations to do things a little better.

Our areas of expertise include:

Authentic Leading Women

A two day programme designed to encourage women to identify and engage with their own unique leadership style, not change or modifying behaviour to emulate men. The programme aims to embrace and enhance the skills you naturally have, as a woman, as opposed to trying to change or fix them.

  • Enables you to see and achieve the significant benefits of becoming an authentic leader for yourself, your team and your organisation
  • Ensures the external expression of your integrity is seen and by those with whom you work and by the audiences to whom you present
  • Moves you towards living a life on purpose and delivering even greater value for yourself and your organisation
  • The programme is an opportunity to network with other senior women whilst sharing experiences and learning

  • Have a results driven focus even when faced with cost cutting/restructuring etc

The outcomes ensure participants:

  • Understand their response to ‘failure’

  • Understanding the impact of Emotional Intelligence
  • Overcoming ‘thinking traps’
  • Constructive self-discipline
Maximizing Millennials

New and emerging talent in organisations may well be one of your key differentiators in an increasingly more integrated and connected world. The new generation does however, have very different expectations of both the organisation and its leaders. By 2025, Millennials will account for 75% of the global workforce (Forbes), so equipping your leaders to understand the benefits of working differently, will make your organisation more successful and future proof.

Designed around key themes:

  • Who am I as a Leader?
  • Leading millennial teams
  • Leading millennial organisations

The programme focuses on:

  • Leading with Empathy
  • Creating a culture of coaching talent
  • Building autonomy and engagement
  • Being an inspirational role-model
  • Building a collaborative organisation
  • Creating a flexible and meaningful workplace
Time to Think

This workshop is based on the work of Nancy Kline. Participants will learn and practice applications of the Thinking Environment. There is clear focus on developing listening capability as an essential tool. Time To Think offers a dynamic and dependable framework within which all team members can enhance their relationships with each other through communication of exceptional quality. The tools learned have immediate application delegates within their organisations. All practice done during the workshop will focus on genuine real-time issues and challenges chosen by the team members themselves.
