This program is aimed at experienced leaders, managers of managers, business owners and executives.

The topics we will cover are aimed at supporting leaders in more complex situations to work in enterprise wide scenarios, break down silos and consider values as well as performance, They are also designed to be more strategic in nature and focus on competencies that enable managers to lead up and across and not simply down.   

​

We will consider such things as teaming with peers, longer term perspectives and typical areas for improvement and career stallers for senior leaders.   

​

I will draw on your experience and my own and also look at empirical research where needed. We won't get too bogged down in theory, we will aim for practical approaches but at times a little reading might help unlock or change the dynamic.

The topics listed below are flexible and can be combined or tailored specifically to suit your needs. It is also possible to combine topics from the Management or Business Coaching programs.
