Bridging the Leadership Gap
|
Are leaders born or made? Often asked, this question has no definitive answer. What is clear is that if you want to be able to progress in your career, if you want to be able to build or grow a business, if you want to have your ideas taken on board, you’ll be working with people.
Transitioning to leadership means understanding the difference between management and leadership, it’s as much about mindset as skillset, EQ as IQ and linking individual purpose to organisational purpose. What is your identity, what leadership shadow will you cast? Designed specifically with your cohort in mind, the program can include elements of self-leadership (mindset, EQ), leading diverse teams (DEI, feedback, coaching), influencing across the organisation, agency and communion, and leading change. |
With facilitators certified in Zenger Folkman's Extraordinary Leader and Leadership Levers programs, benchmarked diagnostic tools can be applied to provide a structured development program for leaders across your organisation.

Communicating with Impact
|
The art of communication is essential for leadership. This program provides you with the knowledge and practical experience to confidently and effectively communicate to any audience in a face-to-face or virtual situation, with greater levels of engagement and impact.
We combine information, exercises and deliberate practise, to provide an understanding of why certain communication techniques work better than others, and knowledge o how to present with greater impact to achieve better communication outcomes. |
Influencing Essentials
|
Influencing can come from power and from status. In the early stages of leadership, or when we have need to be able to influence without having authority, influence is less about power and more about building your status.
Effective influencing requires empathy - your ability to see and feel things from the perspective of others. It requires you to understand the needs and motivators of those you are looking to influence. |
It requires you to use powerful questioning techniques and listening strategies, and you must be able to construct coherent messages that are either persuasive or assertive, in order to have your ideas willingly accepted by others.
And when it comes to exceptional performance, you would want to have a process or plan. |
