Advanced Leadership Development
A private thinking partnership for senior leaders
Inspire. Transform. Elevate.
The greatest leadership impact is shaped by what isn’t immediately conscious.
Every brain relies on patterns because it has to be energy-efficient. To achieve that, it prioritises familiar ways of thinking, feeling, and responding — many of which become so well-established that we no longer notice them, and many of which originally developed to protect us from earlier experiences.
At senior levels, what increasingly determines leadership impact is not how smart someone is. It’s how patterns of emotion and response influence the people around them — and how those patterns shape judgement, relationships, and decision-making over time.
This engagement exists to make those patterns visible in the only way that matters: in real situations, over time.
Start with a Leadership ConversationWho is this for?
Advanced Leadership Development is designed for leaders who are operating at — or moving into — senior leadership roles and who:
- carry significant responsibility and influence outcomes at scale
- value reflection and rigour, not quick fixes
- want development that actually sticks in the day-to-day realities of leadership
- sense that “more knowledge” is not the constraint at this stage
What this work focuses on
This is a private, longitudinal partnership focused on how thinking patterns and emotional responses shape leadership impact.
In practice, that means working with questions such as:
- What do you reliably do under tension — and what does it trigger in others?
- Which situations repeatedly create friction, hesitation, or over-control?
- Where does your leadership become less deliberate than you intend?
- What patterns were once adaptive — and may now be limiting?
This is not about labelling or “fixing” a person. It is about becoming more conscious of what has been shaping leadership impact all along — and increasing choice where it matters.
How it works?
Leadership is constant. Patterns only become visible when there is time to notice them.
That is why this engagement is structured to run over months, not sessions.
We work with:
- live situations
- real decisions
- current relationships
Using tools and frameworks where useful, we identify small, practical experiments to observe how changes in thinking influence behaviour and impact. The work is grounded in what is actually happening in your role — not in hypotheticals.
The engagement structure
- 20 hours of 1:1 work
- Typically delivered over 6–12 months
- A steady cadence that allows depth without disruption
This structure creates the continuity and context required for meaningful change at senior levels.
What changes as a result
Clients often report outcomes such as:
- clearer thinking in complex, ambiguous situations
- greater consistency in how they show up as a leader
- improved quality of decisions and fewer repeated issues
- more effective leadership of difficult relationships and dynamics
- stronger alignment between intention and impact
- positive ripple effects through teams and the wider system
These changes are rarely dramatic in a single moment. They compound.
Advanced leadership development isn’t about becoming someone else
It is about becoming more conscious of what has been shaping your leadership impact — and increasing choice in the moments that matter most.
How to Begin?
The first step is a conversation to determine whether this is appropriate and timely.
If it is, we agree the structure and begin.
If it isn’t, that becomes clear quickly.

“This wasn’t a course — it was six months of focused work on how I actually lead. We worked through real situations as they happened, not hypothetical ones. I became more consistent, clearer in my communication, and more trusted by my team. Engagement went up, conflict went down, and my leadership impact is stronger and more predictable.”

“Over six months, I changed habits I didn’t even know were limiting me. The biggest result was how my team responded — fewer escalations, better ownership, and more honest dialogue. I’m spending less time firefighting and more time leading. That shift has had a direct effect on delivery and retention.”
