Ignite Your People: for leaders & teams

Tangible results through engaging, thoughtful and fun team building, skills workshops and coaching.

“The next level of greatness depends on the quality of the culture. Which depends on the quality of the relationships. Which depends on the quality of the conversations” – Judith E Glaser

Ignite Your People

What’s the next level of greatness that you aspire to?
How is the culture of your organisation, department or team helping or hindering you to get there?
Where do you need support?

Our leadership and team development programmes focus on the way you and your people communicate. We equip you to have the conversations that matter; building high-trust cultures, lifting performance and increasing innovation.

We also support you to manage yourself more effectively through building resilience and personal success behaviours.

The methodologies we use are researched, proven and most importantly, practical.

Your results are what is most important to us, therefore we partner with you to create a learning pathway that works for you.

Being a people leader asks a lot of us.

It can also be an incredibly rewarding, empowering and growthful career choice.

However…

There’s nothing worse than being in a meeting either not knowing what to say, or knowing what to say but being afraid to say it.
Or when your team experiences conflict due to differing personalities, or things don’t go according to plan and you feel ill-equipped to support them.
Or having to give feedback to your team to inspire behaviour change but you’re worried about unintentionally creating resistance or defensiveness.
It’s exhausting when you spend every day waiting for someone to discover that you don’t have it all figured out.

What’s made you a brilliant specialist is not what will make you an inspiring leader. So what will? You can trust that we’ve got you covered.
