HOW WE WORK
MADE FOR YOU
Your context is unique and your people are diverse. That’s why we believe the most effective development solutions are those that are customised for your specific situation. We provide bespoke solutions that make use of our decades of experience and the vast library of proven development material and methodologies to ensure your solution is both relevant and effective.
Our approach is centred around customisation:
1. Diagnose and Understand:
We start by deeply understanding your organisation’s context, culture, and goals. We engage with your leadership team, key stakeholders and team members, and listen attentively to identify the specific areas that need development.
2. Co-Create Solutions:
We collaborate closely with you to design tailored programs that are relevant and which integrate with other initiatives you may have in place.
3. Blend Science and Art:
Leadership development is both science and art. We blend evidence-based practices, proven approaches and up-to-the-minute content with creativity. The result is innovate, engaging and “sticky” learning experiences.
4. Holistic Approach:
Leadership isn’t just about skills; it’s also about mindset, emotional intelligence, and resilience. Our holistic approach addresses the whole leader—mind, heart, and behaviour.
5. Agile and Iterative:
Chances are, your business landscape evolves rapidly. Our solutions are agile and adaptable. We iterate based on feedback, measure impact, and fine-tune our approach to ensure continuous relevancy.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Leadership is about people, it is about the human experience. It’s about relationships, communication, influence and preferences. It starts with understanding yourself, then others. We have a range of leadership development experiences which can be customised to your specific needs and cover topics such as:
Leading hybrid teams
First time leader essentials
The art of effective feedback
Leader as coach
Leading change and transformation
Managing daily performance
Leading with emotional intelligence
Understanding people and preferences
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Leaders, salespeople, customers - everyone has emotions. Neuroscience has proven that those emotions have a bigger impact on the way people think, the decisions they make and their behaviour than most people realise. Your ability to perceive, understand and work with emotions (your EQ) are just as important as IQ in determining your success, impacting leadership, team and sales performance as well as resilience and well-being. That’s why emotional intelligence is widely viewed as one of the most important skills to develop to survive and thrive in the next 20 years.
Emotional intelligence is demonstrated in the way people behave. We make emotional intelligence practical by looking at workplace behaviours and developing the skills and capabilities for people to work in more emotionally intelligent ways.
SALES EFFECTIVENESS
Success in selling is really about two things: what you do when you are in front of the customer and what you do when you are not. Our workshops and coaching programs equip sales people and sales managers to excel at both. They are designed for you and your team to learn proven principles, disciplines and skills as they apply to your business.

Territory or portfolio management
Executing sales strategy
Selling with emotional intelligence
Selling value not price
TEAM PERFORMANCE
Exceptional teams are the result of intentional design, not mere chance. Studies indicate that the key elements distinguishing high-performing teams lie in the area of interpersonal dynamics. Conversely, underperformance is often rooted in these same factors. Despite this, the relationship factors that are the foundations of team functionality frequently goes unrecognized. Our approach brings these critical relational components to the forefront and marries them with the more pragmatic aspects ensuring they receive the attention and cultivation necessary to build truly cohesive and effective teams.
