What participants will gain in a nutshell

A future where leadership transcends traditional boundaries, where individuals envision and embody a bold and purpose-driven path, drive and culture.
We guide participants in crafting bold personal visions. We help them recognise where they limit themselves in what they see as possible, and we help them create ‘breakthrough’ goals that expands their impact beyond their immediate area of expertise.
Our programmes encourage self-reflection through exploring thought-provoking perspectives on leadership. Participants develop a greater level of appreciation for the ‘space’ they create around them. This helps leaders to become more authentic and self-aware in their communication and inspires lasting positive change within themselves and their teams.
We equip leaders to re-examine their current circumstances and find new perspectives. We help people learn how to separate interpretations from facts; to come up from the dancefloor and onto the balcony. This opens up new pathways forward and new sources of opportunity in any situation.
Effective leadership is founded on the art of communication, with listening as its cornerstone. We develop participants’ ability to listen generously and generatively, fostering empathy and connection. This promotes inclusion, respect, and amplifying the leader’s ability to inspire and guide with impact.
Participants learn to ask powerful questions, provide constructive feedback and cultivate an environment that calls people forward to take up self-accountability. By embracing coaching principles, leaders not only elevate their own effectiveness but also create a culture where every team member feels supported, valued, and motivated to excel.

Managers and leaders committed to taking their leadership to the next level. If you’re up for causing results that go beyond what you know how to accomplish, this programme is for you. You’ll commit to a ‘Breakthrough Project’ that you’ll design as part of the programme.
As a participant, you’ll ask yourself powerful, revelatory questions that provide you with irrevocable insights into who you are as a leader, how you listen and how you limit what you see as possible. Our approach is truly transformational by inviting you first to analyse, then reconstruct, aspects of your belief systems and identities to accommodate a new vision for how you’ll lead.
We tend to work with groups of twelve to sixteen people in a single cohort, coming from a range of companies.
The sessions will be held in a beautiful location in central London. Lunch and snacks during the day will be included. Sessions will run 9am to 5pm. Breakfast, evening meals and accommodation are not included.
Our standard participant fee is £10k + VAT. We are open to making concessions for non-profit organisations.
We will base ourselves in a peaceful venue near London where we stay together for 2 days and use both the days and evenings to enquire, reflect and explore leadership.
This programme is designed as a deep interactive enquiry that we undertake together that is most powerful when done in close-knit group. Hence we only accept participants that are able to join in person.
Yes, we will provide a one-to-one online coaching session between each session, plus a series of online clinics throughout the programme. Additional one-to-one coaching will be available on demand.
Participants are typically senior leaders in organisations. However, if you’re a high-potential individual seeking rapid further development, this programme is for you.

We provide team sessions as part of Leadership Development Programme. You can learn more here.
