Equip your senior leaders with hands-on leadership development that brings resilience, strategic thinking and collaboration. All whilst driving real-world results.
The challenge
Experiential learning drives real-world results.
We know traditional theory-based learning does not always address the diverse skills needed to be a leader in a business like yours.
Effective leadership is crucial to an organisation's success, but providing your talent with learning opportunities that will excite and inspire them can be challenging.
We have that covered, the Inspiring Leaders Programme:
Engages with your people
Creates sustained behaviour change
Gives your future leaders a safe space, away from clients and peers, to test their new behaviours
Adds measurable social and economic impact to your bottom line
Without an effective leadership development programme, your organisation may face stagnation, decreased employee engagement, and the risk of falling behind competitors.

Inspiring Leaders Programme in more detail
Advisory board experience
Your leader will join a small business advisory board. This experience allows them to apply their skills in real-world situations, and learn how their peers respond to the challenge.
They will be supporting two different small businesses for six months each - taking part in their advisory boards, and eventually chairing meetings and mentoring one of the business leaders.
Cohort reflection sessions
They will get together with their peer learning group three times over the year - to share experiences, reflect on what they’ve learned and strategise how they’d tackle situations in the future.
From start to finish, we ensure that every aspect of the programme contributes to your organisation’s leadership development goals.
E-learning
In addition to hands-on experiences, they can access the online self-paced learning and materials.
Carefully curated bite-size content, each lesson designed for only 5-10 minutes a day, that complements their learning journey and provides them with the flexibility to expand your knowledge on their terms.
Who is it for?
Ambitious leaders or high potential talent who:
Have a minimum of 5+ years of corporate or (senior) management experience
Aspire to executive leadership or governance roles
Want to deepen their leadership skills through hands-on experiential learning
Are eager to broaden their professional network and connections
Would gain fulfilment from using learnt expertise to drive positive social impact outside of their day-to-day role
