How We Help: Leadership Development

Leadership Development

Our clients often come to us with the challenge of increasing the capability of their leadership, so they can navigate the complex, ever-changing world in which they live. Their aim is to establish a strong bench-strength at the top, to support and drive growth which is aligned to the culture they are trying to either preserve or evolve. Unlocking the potential of ‘mission-critical’ role holders also comes high up on their shopping list. Many of our programmes focus on building change leadership capability to shift, or instil, values, mindsets and behaviours.

We design and deliver bespoke leadership development solutions which offer a blended approach to learning so that they are pragmatic and accessible, yet game changing.

Everything we do connects to business goals in order to drive the right business outcomes.

We help through facilitated workshops, Leadership Retreats, creative team exercises, skills practice, leadership assessments, thought leadership forums, coaching and action planning. A great deal of what we offer can be delivered via virtually.

Masterclasses

We offer a series of highly focused, high impact and practical learning events designed to address particular learning needs. Any of the themes or topics can be blended or tailored to meet the learning requirements of your people and we will always partner with you to agree and co create effective and flexible ways of delivering and engaging with your teams.

Workshops range from our Excelling in Business series, to Humanity in Business and we are also happy to work with you to create the perfect solution to suit your needs.

Defining your Purpose and Values

Many people talk about Purpose and Values, but few know clearly how to make these key elements of a business work. Our workshops (which can also be delivered virtually) help you define ‘Why’ your business exists and how it adds value to the world in which you operate. Gaining clarity on your purpose and defining the set of values which represent your business better enables you to establish the clear set of behaviours expected of your people. (These workshops link closely to our strategic workshops to further help you build your business strategy.)

We work with you and your team to guide you through the IGNIUM process, reviewing your business Purpose, Values and Behaviours to enable you to enhance and build the culture within the business.

Key aims of these sessions are to:

  • Reaffirm your purpose and position in the marketplace
  • Achieve greater clarity for you, your employees and your customers
  • Define (or redefine) the set of Values that guide your business and people
  • Establish the behaviours that underpin the Values in the business

Let's Talk

Don’t take our word for it

Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what some our favourite clients say about us:
‘Our coaching sessions with Katie have been enlightening! Katie is friendly, encouraging, and supportive, and ensures every session is unique and engaging. Her work has been invaluable in helping to shape and grow our business’
‘Working with Phil and Kerry to create a bespoke Time Management course was an enjoyable collaborative process. After working with Phil over the last 18 months, I was optimistic for this project. Both Phil and Kerry were excellent at listening and understanding the needs of the organisation and tailored the content to ensure it was right for our audience. Both are a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend their services.’
‘Just wanted to say thanks for the session today.  I think it was excellent and, having spoken with people on the session, I know there were others who felt the same.  Getting the time to really practice, observe and feedback really helped demonstrate the value in adopting the coaching approach.’
‘I have been working closely with Kerry as my ‘go-to’ adviser for the past 18 months on a number of people and change projects. During this time I have really valued her refreshingly straight forward approach, within what has been a highly nuanced, complex and ground shifting time for the firm. She is able to cut through complex cultural dynamics and offer pragmatic, practical advice; whilst not losing sight of; or empathy for, the degree of challenge those in the firm are facing to drive the cultural change we desire. I highly value Kerry’s input and insight and her strategic HR and talent management expertise is second to none. She is also great fun to work with and not at all afraid of rolling up her sleeves to get things done!’
‘Kerry and her team have been supporting CMS in developing our people proposition for our newly merged firm. This has involved both strategic advice, team facilitated sessions, design and delivery of training sessions and programme and project management. We have found that Kerry and her colleagues have quickly become part of our team, always committed to really understanding our firm, it’s people and of course where we want to get to as a business. They can be totally relied upon to provide a high quality service, and are both resourceful and pragmatic in their approach. We really appreciate their expertise and deep level of professionalism; especially where the Jarred team have navigated complex and sensitive conversations, during what is essentially a culture change programme. I would highly recommend the Jarred team to any business looking for a strategic HR and Talent adviser who can also ensure you deliver upon your intentions.’
‘ Kerry has taken on several significant and high profile projects with us. All were delivered to an exceptionally high standard but what differentiated Kerry was her natural ability to work with senior leaders of the firm and instil a sense of confidence and trust. ’
‘ Kerry’s ability to build Board-level relationships which subsequently allow her to influence and deliver results is a testament to her credibility, her style and her skill in getting beneath the skin of the business and building solutions that are aligned to the direction, culture and goals. Kerry brings a unique balance of thought-leadership, industry connections and a delivery mind-set that would quickly become an asset to any organisation. I could not recommend her highly enough.’
‘ In addition to understanding our needs Kerry is also acutely aware of our culture and how best to marry solutions, advice and outputs so that they are aligned with our style and our strategic aims. Kerry combines an innovative approach to problem solving with strong project management skills, which ensures an excellent product delivered on time. Kerry has always felt like she is part of our team. She invests heavily in building strong, trusted relationships across our business and brings her natural passion, genuine interest and personal authenticity to every interaction. Her deep expertise in the HR and talent arena always makes us feel as though we are in safe hands. Her credibility is demonstrated at all levels, and she brings the appropriate level of challenge and influence to ensure we end up with the right solution / path to suit our business objectives. ’
‘ Phil has an extensive knowledge of business, finance and the practicalities of growing your business. He provides sound, relevant advice and is a responsive source of support.’
‘ Phil has a brilliant approach to business strategy. His fantastic eye for detail combined with his ability to contextualise information within the wider scope of a business is a powerful ability. He’s a pleasure to work with and is capable of some extra-ordinary results.’
‘ Working with Phil is a rewarding experience. From our first session, Phil puts you at ease and allows you to talk about how you want to develop, and the challenges you face. Each session is started (or ended) with a single ‘prompt’ question that really makes you think. Over the course of just a few sessions we’ve identified sticking points and worked towards a next focus goal. What sets Phil apart is the combination of business and personal coaching experience, blended to give you focus on what you need from work and personal life. The two are not separate, and being able to discuss and understand better your relationship with both is a powerful one. If you are hitting that stage of your career where your previous goals no longer seem to work for you, Phil will help you understand why, allow you to explore alternatives and find a new approach. Thoroughly recommended!’
‘ In all of his dealings Phil just has so much positive energy, and reflects our own values back to us in a way that really makes us reconnect with them at a deeper level. You will leave every session with Phil seeing new possibilities and with renewed focus, determination and joy!’
‘Phil is a gem. He has an incredible depth of business experience and insight, and draws on it to challenge us in our most deeply held assumptions. He asks us some very revealing open-ended questions, and then helps us to shape our insights as they emerge. Thanks to him we have a business plan that we can all be proud of, and which keeps us focused on a worthy end goal.’
‘Kerry has been working with Morgan for a number of years. She has been a real asset to the team, helping us to drive change across the global organisation within leadership development, performance and talent. Kerry’s approachable style means she is able to influence key stakeholders. Her experience has helped shape our approach and design and her second to none project management keeps us driving forward at pace.’
‘I have worked closely with Kerry over a period of three years as my most trusted go-to adviser, sounding board and thinking partner on the people and cultural aspects of some major strategic projects. Kerry brings a brilliant and very rare combination of deep subject matter expertise and market knowledge, strategic thinking, a hands-on, efficient and pragmatic approach and an ability to listen well, pick up nuance and tailor her advice and input to suit the particular context.’
‘Our coaching sessions with Katie have been enlightening! Katie is friendly, encouraging, and supportive, and ensures every session is unique and engaging. Her work has been invaluable in helping to shape and grow our business’
‘Working with Phil and Kerry to create a bespoke Time Management course was an enjoyable collaborative process. After working with Phil over the last 18 months, I was optimistic for this project.
