Welcome to Leadership.

Insights Transformational Leadership training workshop.
1 DAY PER MODULE
The Insights Transformational Leadership Model takes a multi-dimensional approach to developing leaders, helping them make dramatic and sustainable improvements to their effectiveness, at the individual, team and organisational level. This programme of development is based around 8 modules and provides one common and aligned framework for leadership development throughout the organisation.
Experience shows that leadership models are only truly effective when they are deeply imbedded into the fabric of the organisation and become an integral part of a leader’s day to day business. The Insights Transformational Leadership model can be customised to align with an organisation’s leadership philosophy and framework and to complement existing people development processes, bringing a company’s key performance indicators to life in a compelling and practical way.
​
No change is possible without winning the heart and mind of each leader. Insights, through the Insights Transformational Leadership approach, help leaders make improvements in areas or challenge or stretch but the primary focus is on the areas of strength and how to leverage that capacity further. Leaders are inspired to pay attention to what is already working for them and to make this even better.
The 8 modules (optional according to priority areas for development) are:
• Creating a compelling vision
• Leading Change
• Leading from within
• Communicating with impact
• Fostering Teamwork
• Agile thinking
• Facilitating development
• Delivering results
Each module builds on your knowledge of the colour energies and how these affect your behaviours and approach to change.
Impact:
-
A leadership framework and programme that can transform your business
-
Leaders will become more effective at managing themselves, their team and organisation
-
Leaders will be more able to adapt their approach to motivate and inspire different individuals and personalities across multi-disciplines and departments
-

Insights Leadership Effectiveness training workshop.
1 DAY
Great leaders inspire. They motivate not only the people they manage, but also their peers, their own leaders and the entire organisation. Good leadership is about mastering more than a set of management skills. Leaders should create a compelling vision, produce results, and maximise the effectiveness of their team through shared goals and values.
Discovering Leadership Effectiveness helps people become the best leaders they can be.
Building on the foundation model, Insights Discovery, I work with leaders to explore their personal leadership style and unique value. Through this workshop, leaders learn how their individual style and preferences manifest themselves in their leadership. This enables the leader to examine their effectiveness in each of these areas:
​
-
Results Leadership: Excelling in Results Leadership requires a strong task focus and superior prioritisation skills, enabling the leader to be objective and rigorous in rationalising problems and challenges.
-
Visionary Leadership: Excelling in Visionary Leadership requires leaders to look outwards to the environment, using their intuition to make connections and see possibilities that others miss.
-
Relationship Leadership: Excelling in Relationship Leadership requires a focus on nurturing relationships, building mutual respect and collaboration, and ensuring that consideration is central to all interactions
-
Centred Leadership: Excelling in Centred Leadership requires leaders to focus inward, reflecting on their thoughts, feelings, values and motivations. Centred Leaders are alert to what is going on in the moment, paying full attention to the task in hand
The Discovering Leadership Effectiveness programme helps leaders find their balance and make an impact by understanding their strengths and areas for development. And when leaders are balanced, their people are more motivated, engaged, inspired and productive.
Impact
-
Significantly increase awareness of self
-
Increase leaders of understanding of others
-
Elevate personal leadership capacity
-
Create an opportunity to leverage diverse work styles and skills to achieve goals, improve morale, and benefit the organisation

Insights into Resilience training workshop.
1 DAY
The official definition of resilience is specified as two things: the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties and the ability to spring back into shape. Those are two things that most of us will have had to draw on in our current and previous roles.
The final stage is about building a resilient workforce and really influencing change. How can you create a space where everyone feels safe, productive, motivated and – in turn – more resilient.
-
Workshop outline: What is resilience? The world has changed – and it’s likely that you have too. But that doesn’t mean you can just jump into influencing your organisational culture straight from the off.

-
Resilience factors checklist: Next, it’s time to think about key learns and how you apply those. How can you create resilience in a team? How can you ensure you – and your team – are poised to take on the next big challenge? This is where we you can also tackle big topics such as growth mindset and psychological safety.​

Coaching is a powerful tool that benefits individuals and organisations. It not only enhances performance and productivity but also facilitates personal growth and development.

Coaching is a valuable investment for anyone looking to improve their skills and improve their goals.

Governance and Trustee: Reviews, Strategic Planning & Training
VARIOUS
Being a trustee or an executive leader comes with many challenges. My programmes of development recognise and support these areas of challenge. I work with Trustees and Executive Leaders across the UK in supporting them in reviewing their current effectiveness, areas for development and how to address these areas.
Governance reviews
Reviewing and improving your organisation’s governance system can reduce the risk of failure, improve financial performance and provide a clear direction for development. For a governance review to work it must be done in a structured way and have clear objectives. After a review, there must be a clear plan for improvement.
My external review of governance (ERG) examines the effectiveness of the board based on the 6 features of effective governance, which are set out in the Governance Handbook.
These are:
-
Strategic leadership
-
Accountability
-
People
-
Structures
-
Compliance
-
Board evaluation
The self-evaluation questionnaire that I use is based on the National Governors’ Association publication “Twenty Questions ~ 2nd Edition 2015 - Key questions every governing board should ask itself”. This questionnaire will be sent to Governors/ Trustees, 4 weeks prior to the review and development workshop.
​
In preparation for the workshop I will collate all of the responses and use these as a starting point for our discussions. During this workshop you will identify areas of priority for development for you, which I will then collate for you in the form of a development plan.
​
Impact:
-
A deeper understanding of the strengths and areas for development within the Governing Board
-
A detailed plan of development and the training required.
-
The opportunity for your group of governors to have focused strategic discussions

Chair of Trustees / Governors One to One Mentoring
VARIOUS
Being the Chair of Governors or Trustees can be a demanding and sometimes daunting role … and you’re a volunteer!
The 1 to 1 mentoring provides a monthly opportunity for us to meet to discuss any specific concerns or challenges that you may have as well as an opportunity for me to update and contextualise any new legislations or amendments of external frameworks of inspections pertaining to the roles and requirements of governors.

Developing Middle Leaders
VARIOUS
Very often individuals are promoted to the position of middle leaders with no real opportunity to understand the demands and accountability associated with their new role or how it differs from their previous role. This can sometimes result in lack of or delayed impact and increased anxiety for the individual.
It is essential that organisations recognise the need for leadership development for those in middle leadership.
As well as the Insights suite of programmes and the UDEI programme I also deliver bespoke programmes of development based on the organisations and individuals identified needs.
