The biggest influence of well-being, retention and high-performance of your teams comes from your leaders.
Supporting individuals to lead with confidence and authentic presence through uncertain times is proven to bring long-term organisational success. Research shows…
The corporate world of work is going through a dynamic transformation. Developing your leadership teams the right way has become more relevant in times of challenging markets, topics of inclusion and engagement, higher employee turnover, and new work concepts.
And yet... standard leadership training
“75% of leaders report not seeing improvement in business performance after standard training.”
WHY? because...
It is too long
Too broad and generic
No proper accompaniment or accountability
If an organisation does not focus on the right training for its leaders the outcome is predictable:
Without the right tools teams become disengaged and dissatisfied. Managers feel inadequate; they become disillusioned, burned out and leave.
More than 85% agreed soft skills are more important to long-term success, and actually delivers a higher ROI than hard skills. - The HR Research Institute
Support your leaders with the right skills, so they can:
1. Build relationships and develop their people
2. Inspire others to drive change in the organisation
3. Communicate clearly: think critically: and create accountability

Executive Presence
When the pressure is on and everyone is looking at us for guidance how do we naturally react? Perhaps best we first PAUSE, and then RESPOND.
Executive presence is about developing a grounded, open and calm pause within ourselves when challenges, stressors and conflict arise.
Becoming present allows us to deeply listen to our internal state, our team's needs and also perceive our environment - aligning inner and outer environments supports us to deliver our message and vision more powerfully. Having a set of tools to help us think with clarity so we take decisive action is vital for leading teams successfully. Strengthening our non-verbal communication - to align our action with our words - helps us deliver coherence, builds trust within our team and offers us the opportunity to influence and inspire them to greatness.
How do we approach a challenge or (react to) stressful situations? Could you confidently shift your state to something more beneficial?
What are the mental, emotional and physiological levels that underpin our performance?
Does our non-verbal communication align with your words? Is their coherence in our leadership style?
When do we need to step forward into responsibility? When do we need to step back and allow others to come through on their journey?
How are we perceived from outside, from teams, seniors, etc? How can we get comfortable being visible?
What is getting in the way of us being more confident? How is this affecting the trust in our teams?
Outcomes:
Develop a presence that fills a room and galvanises your team.
Learn non-verbal communication to strengthen your message, influence and build trust through coherence.
Learn how to efficiently shift states from stress to calm (short & long term)
Strengthen decision making by developing awareness of what's needed in the moment
Improve listening sensitivity and amplify speaking/presenting confidence
Cultivate personal practice to optimise energy and productivity throughout the day
Presence is everything. From how we show up, listen, and speak confidently to lead with intention. Developing our skills of self awareness is key to understanding our patterns and transforming ourselves. This will set us apart from the rest.

Tough Conversations
It’s ok to not have all the answers. We’re in this together, and together we will find the right solution.
As a leader it’s our opportunity to share the good news, and our responsibility to deliver the bad. The latter, more often than not, is the real test of our inner-leader as we must step-up to the tough conversation. Whether performance review, letting people go or dealing with conflict between voices, these situations require both sensitivity and strength in an on-going ebb and flow to deliver a clear message while remaining calm, within integrity and maintaining connection with the other. Setting our intentions, speaking one’s truth without ego and having skills to facilitate an environment of compassion listening creates the launchpad for all stakeholders to move forward. Holding both the bigger picture (context) and the important fine details (content) skilfully, will allow us to deliver efficiently and empathetically.
What are our habitual reactions when we need to have tough conversations, deliver bad news or uncomfortable truths?
How might we listen more when there is conflict between us? Between others?
How might our commitments to each other foster a space of deeper listening and compassion?
How might removing our personal ego from the story help?
How might we create a safe place for vulnerable topics? What non-verbal cues can we harness to reduce stress - personally and collectively.
How might dialogue structures help us facilitate healthy discourse?
What are the signs we need to ease-off or lean-in more to topics, so we stay connected and feel safe.
Outcomes:
Cultivate the right environment for tough conversations
Develop awareness of non-verbal communication and mindful posture intelligence
Listen and communicate from a place of calm center, not from ego.
Learn tools to reduce emotional reactivity, be able to role-model these to others
Receive a communication structure to work with during tough conversations
Embrace/communicate personal and shared commitments to support process
Communication is an intricate dance, with a set of very learnable human skills we can be empowered to transition discomfort and forge stronger relationships.
If this is something that would benefit your leaders, get in contact and let’s start an with an easy conversation.

Resilience & Confidence
It's time to step up, make yourself visible and be a role model from the front… all while also not becoming overwhelmed.
As resilient leaders we enable our teams and organisations to be resilient too. It is then vital for us to develop the skills necessary to meet performance challenges without compromising our wellbeing. As the capabilities of body, emotion, mind and spirit are activated, our energy increases, and we feel calm, confident, engaged, and fulfilled. When we neglect these, we start to run into unhealthy stress problems.
Learning easy practices and tools to quickly and efficiently deal with stress when we need, feel confident to take on challenges, and knowing the right moment to step forward into collaboration and action will all improve our leadership performance x10. As we cultivate a sustainable balance and resilience from within, to stay connected and power us through the day demands, we radiate confidence and inspire others to do the same.
How do we recognise our internal state and shift accordingly?
What signposts can we develop to know when we are reaching our limits?
How do we resource ourselves in the short, medium and long term to continue to perform at a high level?
How can we recognise tasks that give us energy and which take it away?
How do we show up with energy and confidence? Where in your work are we confident and where are we not?
How might our non-verbal communication and personal presence support our leadership?
What actions (bigger picture) can we take to support the daily demands we face in the office?
How can we support ourselves and our each other to be more resilient.
Outcomes:
Role-model both high-performance and well-being vitality to your team.
Identify out of balance leadership areas to improve all-round performance
Learn physiological tools to develop self-confidence
Learn how to reframe and reduce self-doubt, inner critic and imposter syndrome.
Develop a personal toolbox to optimise energy management.
Knowing we have the tools to change our state and self-awareness skills to understand where our limits are offer us confidence to approach any situation without becoming overwhelmed and burnt out.
