Leadership Programmes

Step Up to Leadership is a practical, high-energy leadership programme for aspiring SME leaders, newly appointed directors and graduates of Step into Management. Combining real-world case studies, interactive simulations and proven leadership models, it equips participants with the clarity, confidence and tools to lead strategically, build high-performing teams and drive meaningful change.

As individuals move from managing delivery to shaping direction, the demands become more complex. This programme supports that transition, strengthening strategic thinking, commercial awareness and the ability to influence at board and senior stakeholder level.

Over nine months, delegates engage in a structured blend of diagnostics, facilitated workshops and applied workplace projects. They deepen their emotional intelligence, enhance decision-making in uncertain environments and learn how to foster cultures built on trust, accountability and performance.

Working alongside a carefully selected cohort of peers, participants gain perspective, challenge their assumptions and translate insight into practical action. The result is confident, values-led leadership that creates sustainable impact for both people and business.

Being the person who is responsible for a team requires a unique skill set that can often leave new managers feeling confused and uncertain.

Our ‘Step into Management’ Programme provides new managers with the appropriate training, support and challenge, equipping them with the skills to really excel at building successful teams.

This programme is for those preparing to take on a management role or for seasoned managers who might not have had any formal training in the skills of effective management. With a focus on developing confidence and building awareness of best practices, this supportive course is sure to set you up for success, immediately and for years to come.

After a detailed one to one diagnostic, delegates join the cohort for 6 practical one day workshops and commit to completing on-site projects in the workplace to embed the learning from each session.
