Not many people are born leaders or even born managers. Leading people is hard, making the shift from manager to leader is harder still. Just managing a team effectively can be really difficult for some people. We often promote people because they are fantastic at the technical, forgetting that you need a whole new set of skills to effectively run a team, business unit or the business. Identifying and developing talent will ensure the right people are developed and promoted for the right reasons and at the right time.

With practical programmes of work you can grow your managers into leaders, support your leaders to be better leaders, help your leaders network more effectively across the business and support people to personally develop their strengths and their vulnerabilities. Personal development is critical for everyone in an organisation to grow both technical and ‘soft’ skills.

I can support you to:

• Evaluate where you might have gaps in your current organisational development program of work
• Develop a curriculum of development programs for all levels in your organisation
• Design robust and practical development programmes for leaders – I particularly enjoy designing programs for senior leaders and those moving from management into leadership roles
• Develop a process to ensure all talent have personal development plans and access to the right supports
• Develop programs to move women into senior leadership roles
• Design and lead women in leadership conferences
• Design Diversity and Inclusion programmes for all levels in an organisation
• Design Ethics programs for all levels in an organisation
• Embed Diversity and Inclusion and Ethics into general development programs
• Establish a faculty of external facilitators and coaches to design and deliver your learning programs and team interventions
