Executive & Small Group Coaching
Expert coaching for clients who want a coach who ‘gets it’ and can hold clients at their edge.
Getting your Culture Baseline right
An often overlooked, but critically important aspect of individual thinking and behaviour and organisational culture is its starting point. The baseline. And that baseline is either defensive or it is constructive.
- This unique program directly addresses defensive behaviour in the workplace.
- When defensive behaviour is present among Leaders or employees it directly undermines the company values, performance, engagement and culture.
- Our workshops are a highly interactive, engaging and effective way to set a new behaviour baseline – one that is constructive, responsible and empowered. This becomes the baseline on which all organisational activities stand.
- This content can be run as a short workshop, or in a half-day format. It is also an exceptional keynote.
- The workshops deliver profound, immediate and long-term insights, learning and behaviour change.
- This content gets to the heart of demonstrating how culture begins with each of us, and that we are each responsible for our behavioural choices.
- We can deliver in-person, virtual or Hybrid to any level of Leader and employee in the organisation.
- For more information on this profound content please watch the video.
- The focus of our Female Leadership Development is helping female Leaders transcend gendered conditioning to become powerful, adaptive, constructive and effective Leaders in any organisation.
- This program is expertly facilitated and fully integrated with the client organisation’s culture, performance and cultural reality and expectations.
- The program length is between 6-12 months, it includes workshops, and coaching and can integrate 360′ Leadership appraisals.
- We engage deeply with our clients and Female Leaders to ensure the right content and coaching fit and robust program measures.

What You Can Expect
01.
Challenge & Growth
We don’t do “training-tainment”. Our participants can expect an environment that combines and balances Psychological Safety and challenge so they can extend their understanding, skills and confidence. Growth = support + challenge!
02.
Interactivity
More than 50% of all our workshops and courses are practical. Virtually, in-person or hybrid our work includes immersions, group work, live polling, discussion and lots of Q&A time.
03.
Turbo-Boosted Confidence
We help our participants understand and practice new skills, as well as cement the strengths they already have. Our courses and coaching have inspired participants to profound behaviour change as they see what they are capable of.
04.
Practical Outcomes
This isn’t a research or theory download. Our workshops and courses are practical, action and behaviour-oriented. We engage with our participants’ existing experience and skill sets and show them how to expand on those, delivering practical outcomes.
05.
Personal insights
Personal insights are the Why of behaviour change. No skill development or new behaviour can be sustained without personal insight. All our workshops and programs deliver personal insights that facilitate understanding and professional behaviour change.
06.
Focused Behaviour Change
Our ”walk away” is not 55 actions. Our participants leave our workshops with several deep personal insights, and key, foundational behaviour shifts that can be implemented immediately. Our courses build on insight and action over time to create new Leadership perspectives and skill sets.
07.
Empirical Research & Models
We use high-quality research and established models in our courses. They’re combined with experience, practical realities and skill building to synthesise the Why, What and How for our participants.
08.
Great Resources
We share key slides and further resources with all our participants and a course summary immediately post the workshop. Additionally, we offer multiple simple ongoing resource options. These tools help everyone to stay on track and continuously embed their learnings.
