Too often, leadership skills are developed in people after they have stepped into a leadership role, and this brings risk.
It means that either they will sink rather than swim, or that they will encounter unnecessary difficulties or miss valuable opportunities.
We believe that developing leadership communication skills in your new joiners and your high potential talent pools will help them find their voice sooner. That way, they can start adding value sooner and at scale. It should also be considered much earlier on in the succession planning cycle.
For such groups, with a broad set of needs, we recognise the need for a calibrated investment. We therefore take a curricular approach, starting with a ‘core’ programme.
This establishes the foundation skills an individual needs to present themselves and their work with greater clarity, credibility, and confidence.
Self-awareness
A deeper awareness of what it’s like to be on the receiving end of their communication, and a clearer understanding of their communication range.
Personal narrative
An understanding of the engagement factors that generate an audience’s trust, and started to develop their own personal narrative to help bring business messages to life.
Content & delivery
Experience crafting and delivering a clear, compelling call to action in response to either a prescribed business challenge, or based on a scenario that’s ‘live’ for them at the time.
Bite-sized workshops
After the foundation programme, we provide a broad topic-based curriculum from which you can choose based on the needs of your particular cohort.
These lively and interactive sessions each feature core models, a set of practical tools, and include plenty of practice to help people internalise the learning.
Topics suitable for all

Blended Learning
Bite-sized workshops are the second element in a blended approach as you can see below:
- Prime: Pre-work and line manager engagement activity.
- Develop: Workshops that impart skills, confidence and personal development plans that can be shared with line managers.
- Practice: Suggested on-the-job “missions” to help embed and strengthen learning.
- Reinforce: A curated selection of online learning resources to broaden understanding and keep the learning alive.
