Step Up to Leadership Programme

Each delegate will undergo a detailed diagnostic and one-to-one session which will enable us to shape each programme to ensure that it fits the development needs of the participants

The building blocks of the programme will include:

Agile Leadership and Decision-Making : To lead through uncertainty, adapt quickly to change, and make data-informed, yet human-centred decisions.

Emotional Intelligence and Self-Awareness : Enhanced self-regulation, empathy, and relationship-building for more effective team and
stakeholder engagement.

Building and Leading High-Performance Teams : Practical frameworks for fostering trust, accountability, and collaboration across diverse and remote teams.

Digital Literacy and Innovation Mindset : Understanding of emerging technologies and how to leverage digital tools to drive innovation and
growth.

Values-Driven and Ethical Leadership : Ability to lead with integrity, purpose, and a clear set of guiding values in an increasingly
transparent world.

Stakeholder Engagement and Influence : Advanced communication, negotiation, and storytelling skills to influence internal and external
stakeholders.

Resilience and Wellbeing for Self and Others : Techniques to build personal resilience and promote sustainable performance cultures.

Above all, it’s taught me that leadership is as much about listening and empowering as it is about decision making.”
