We believe that the art of collaboration is crucial for succeeding in dealing well with the complex issues faced in today’s business environment and beyond. We invest time and attention to develop close working partnerships with the organisations, their leaders and the individuals we work with. We bring a highly attentive presence, extensive experience and, in the midst of the process, we simultaneously hold several perspectives in every intervention – especially in the difficult moments when change feels tough.
CEOs worldwide have long known that a different approach to leadership is required to succeed in the future, but few are sure about how to approach it. To support business leaders, decision makers, consultants and coaches in the area of leadership development, we offer three different Global Leadership Profile (GLP) workshops. All GLP workshops are organised online, so you can join easily from any part of the world!
Our work intentionally integrates and weaves together individual, team and organisational transformation. It is always a collaborative approach whereby we work with the organisation’s leaders, managers and key stakeholders to ensure that we provide very focussed interventions and inputs rather than ‘off-the shelf’ solutions tailor. Our clients appreciate us for our commitment to their vision and aspirations and the disciplined steps that are needed to reach them. We also provide for the unique needs and potential of individuals by supporting their motivation in a parallel journey of development, engagement and ultimately satisfaction.
Our offering to individual development includes taking the GLP with a personal one-hour debrief, immersive workshops and events, individual developmental coaching packages as well as our book Street Smart Awareness and Inquiry-in-Action, featuring 45+ everyday practices of transformation. Our approach to developmental coaching relies on the use of the GLP as a framework for understanding leadership development and is the underpinning way of thinking about and navigating developing maturity.
