Leadership Services

Leadership in Action empowers leaders to build the skills and qualities they need to move their teams, projects, organisations and, most importantly, themselves forward.

Services are customised to each individual or team being supported so, together, we'll quickly identify the tangible steps and actions needed for progress.

Private coaching and support packages

Ideal for people who are:

  • Being promoted into a position of further responsibility and influence and need support to identify the skills and behaviours needed to match their greater responsibility.
  • In a state of significant transition or change (including new appointments or company exits) and want to recover and realign themselves to a new direction.
  • Wanting to grow and discover how to increase their impact and influence.
  • In need of a little help i.e. maybe they are feeling stuck, demotivated, overwhelmed or unsure in their role.

Team-based training and facilitation packages

Ideal for:

  • Cultural change momentum.
  • Strategic planning support.
  • Increasing self-awareness and understanding – enhancing each individual’s proficiency around personal responsibility, personal growth and resilience in leadership.
  • Inspiring leaders to be more impactful, aligned and purpose-driven.

Customised design and development

Any team-based training and facilitation is completely customised, and developed to best meet the support needs of the people involved and the direction you're heading. There are many aspects considered in the design and development phase - these include:

  • What have people already done and what current methodologies are in place in the organisation? This understanding enables us to ensure our support fits with other activities running.
  • Where are people currently at – i.e. is the team inspired and high performing, struggling and in crisis, or somewhere in between? Without a good understanding of a current start point, efforts can be off-track from the beginning.
  • What outcomes are wanted? It is so important to know the tangible results you expect from targeted support i.e. better wellbeing, better interactions, increased productivity, skills of collaboration, inclusivity, more engagement etc. The results are practical and tangible performance improvements.

The type of content covered may include:

Strategy, organisational behaviour, personal leadership tools and techniques, inspiring stories, trust building, dealing with difficult people, resolving conflict, getting creative and developing greater personal responsibility around stress, burnout, inner resilience and wellbeing, continuous learning etc.
