Evidence-led development for modern managers and leaders
In partnership with growing organisations of all shapes and sizes, we’re defining and building the high-impact behaviours of managers and leaders at all levels.
Below you’ll find some insights in our methods, modules and the elements of development that combine to drive performance and sustain change. And please do drop us a line to learn more.
We partner with organisations to provide managers with tools and techniques to enable their teams in the flow of work. The emphasis is on actively identifying coachable moments, bringing the right mode and mindset to them and ensuring that feedback is shared and pulled in proactively.
March '25 update: We're continuously evaluating the impact of our everyday coaching tools, foundational manager modules and their adaptation to commercial, team and cultural priorities across our partner community.
You really got the nuance of our culture, and the way we'd need to position development to get our people-managers on-board. People still talk about the programme today, and the tools and language we gave managers live on powerfully in their conversations.
The Core Four
Motivating modules for modern managers
Learn more about the content in our Core Four modules, the behaviours that build on them and how our blended approach supports all learning styles, ensuring participants are motivated to immediately experiment with new tools and approaches in their teams — experiencing and recording the impact instantly.
Alongside manager enablement partnerships delivered directly into teams, our Core Four modules can be explored in cross-organisational cohorts through a unique blended programme combining self-led elements with a series of collaborative, virtual workshops.
Enabling leaders at all levels
From newly promoted managers to the board
Often stepping up through their individual performance, but not set up to succeed as a manager. Challenges come thick and fast.
Rising stars across departments, hungry for skills that will fuel their progression — and with real currency placed on coaching capability.
This group will be navigating competing demands with long-established leadership behaviours. It's key they're open to continuous learning.
Central to the design and delivery of our work with managers and leaders is our international community of expert coach-facilitators — each bringing professional accreditation, sector-specific experience and an inclusive and action-oriented approach.
