You will have:

  • Improved your understanding, how your behaviour impacts on others
  • A better ability to empathise and understand why others behave as they do
  • Learned how to manage yourself and others under pressure
  • Increased your emotional intelligence, focus and direction.

Your organisation will:

  • Acquire a leader with an increased ability to develop and support others.

What is the programme about?

The programme will teach you how to use your own unique story and life experiences to inspire your leadership.  Exploration of deep-seated attitudes and beliefs will give you the insights to build on your natural strengths, shift unhelpful attitudes and create more choice in how you behave. It covers depth psychology, group participation, feedback from participants and tutors, and individual development time. This programme is demanding and emotionally challenging and has proven over many years to have a lasting impact in and outside work.

  • Developing and sustaining effective work relationships
  • Managing organisational change and transition
  • Building empathy and greater sensitivity towards others
  • How to manage conflict and managing stress
  • Balancing work and home life.

After the first module, you have eight to ten weeks to apply the new learning in the workplace ending with a two-day follow-up. Because of the intense nature of this programme, the course has a maximum of 12 delegates which allows for ample personal attention in an intimate and safe environment. 

Who is it for?

Senior executives and directors who:

  • Have recognised blind spots that may hold them back in achieving their leadership aspirations
  • Wish to improve the way they communicate and express themselves
  • Need to become better at taking people with them
  • Who feel at a crossroads within their career
  • Need to achieve a healthier work-life balance.
Because of the intensive group experience and the extensive feedback participants receive this programme is often used as a powerful addition to one-to-one coaching.
