Be prepared to undergo an emotional journey and begin to uncover more of yourself through a range of different mediums designed to support self-awareness and discovery.

More about us.
Our Methodology
We do not teach; we engineer experiences that reflect key challenges leaders will face in the workplace and enable learning by experience. Under pressure, default behaviours occur. Our approach to leadership is experiential learning, combining intellectual understanding with emotional appreciation. We believe this approach allows for the maximum learning output.
To quote John Dewey, “We do not learn from experience, we learn from reflecting on experience”.

What You Need to Know
360 Leadership Audit and Feedback
The programme starts with a leadership audit assessment. Our 360 Audit process gives a full picture of an individual’s leadership performance and learning requirements. Feedback is requested from a range of people, from both inside and outside your organisation, including co-workers, managers, direct reports, and external contacts. The process aims to identify their current leadership behaviour, strengths, and development needs.
360 Coaching
Feedback from the 360 Audit is given to the delegate by their appointed 360 Coach who will help them interpret the report and guide them in setting their pre-course learning objectives. This is followed up with a one-to-one coaching session after the residential course.
5.5-Day Residential Course
The core component of the programme is a 5.5-day residential course at our training venue in the Hertfordshire countryside. Delegates will join a cohort of up to 22 participants and will work in teams of 6 to 8 people along with a team faculty member to facilitate.

What is leadership development?
Leadership development is a deliberate and systematic process aimed at enhancing the abilities, skills, and qualities of individuals to effectively lead others and achieve organisational goals.

What is experiential learning?
Experiential learning is an educational approach that emphasises hands-on, active engagement with learning materials and concepts. Instead of traditional methods like lectures or textbooks, experiential learning encourages delegates to directly engage with real-world experiences, problems, and challenges to deepen their understanding and develop practical skills.
In experiential learning, learners actively participate in activities where they can directly apply what they’ve learned in a tangible context. This approach encourages reflection on experiences, allowing learners to draw connections between theory and practice, identify patterns, and derive meaningful insights.
Overall, experiential learning fosters a more interactive, dynamic and engaging educational experience, enabling learners to develop both practical skills and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

- Continuous improvement
- Enhanced leadership skills
- Adaptability and resilience
- Employee engagement and retention
