Leadership capability development solutions
The type of tailorable leadership capability development programs we design and deliver for our global clients:
Executive presence
Leaders are not simply good at their job; they are good at influencing and motivating others to change their perceptions and build employee trust. Through live workshops, microlearning, and toolkits, we help leaders to effectively communicate an organization’s vision and inspire team members to buy into, and actively prioritize your company’s strategic goals.
Insider info: We regularly host live sessions in inspiring places such as theaters and public stages where we coach leaders how to better engage stakeholders and lead with high impact – leveraging personal stories and learnings to maintain authenticity.
Performance coaching
When leaders coach others to realize their own potential, they create more leaders for the future. Our performance coaching programs include live and virtual workshops, self-paced learning experiences, videos, articles, and interactive toolkits. We help clients to build and launch coaching, coaching frameworks and and blended learning programs to support them to assess coaching capability to industry standards.
An incredibly successful element is one-to-one coaching supervision from one of our accredited Coaches, supported by group coaching action learning sets.

Cross-functional effectiveness and team building
Leaders know they can’t do it all by themselves, so they invest in the capabilities of others, creating synergies through high-trust and flexible collaboration networks.
We help our client stakeholders to understand the power and benefits of effective cross-functional working for individuals, teams, the wider organization, and external stakeholders. Our live workshops, microlearning programs, and toolkits have taken us across the globe, uniting teams and leaders in high-energy team activities. We run programs globally and at country level to develop cross-functional team alignment.

Resilience building workshops and executive coaching
Growth and progress are never linear, and every leader encounters turmoil and turbulence. Leaders that show grit and determination in the face of setback inspire the same response from those that choose to follow them. Our live and virtual programs equip leaders with the methods to maintain a growth mindset throughout change and uncertainty.
Insider info: Powered by our in-house Behavioral Scientists, we create empirically evidenced content that enables leaders to personally build behavioral fitness as leaders, and then for their teams.
Adaptability and agility programs and executive coaching
Changing direction in shifting circumstances is a core leader capability, so fostering a culture of curious creativity means that those who choose to follow take wise risks of their own. They challenge the status quo and find fresh exciting solutions to their own challenges.
Insider info: We use key leadership theories such as John Kotter’s 8 steps for leading change to help leaders become well-versed in change principle, exercise their growth mindset, and be flexible to course correct as needed, when the context demands it.
