New leaders

Taking the first steps

Stepping into leadership should be exciting, but it can also be challenging. New leaders need confident, clear communication. And they need to make the shift from doing to leading.

Our leadership development workshops and programmes help them build strong habits, set the tone for their teams, and start shaping the skills and mindset of effective leadership. Our LD solutions for new leaders can be anything from a one-off workshop right through to a full academy programme. 

For instance, we have worked with a top 6 Strategy Consultancy since 2012 on their onboarding programme for new leaders, making sure their freshly minted consultants kick off their careers with the relevant leadership skills. Here's what one participant says:

"What a class! The same subject was boring at school - you made it highly interesting - thrilling. High interaction, presentation with groups. Lot of activities. Perfect."

For the last three years we have worked with a renowned Executive Search firm on their Associate Development Programme, focussing on new leaders' leadership skills, helping to nurture them as they progress to the next level. The company has a keen focus on developing their next generation of leaders, aiming for retention and promotion for the right people. 

This programme receives stellar feedback, with participants reporting that the skills development is relevant and timely, helping them build confidence and to feel comfortable operating in their own niche. One participant sums up the experience below:

"David is incredibly engaging, warm, down-to-earth and comforting. It felt like he understood, from the get-go, the role of an associate at Odgers. I also felt he was inclusive of the entire group and would accommodate each associate's characteristics and quirks. He did a brilliant job of making the modules something you'd look forward to in a busy schedule. A safe space to vent as well as learn and develop. The one-to-one coaching reaffirmed this.
