STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM TO BUILD TOMORROW’S BUSINESS LEADERS
Calling all Goldman Sachs 10KSB or Strategic Leaders graduates!
You’ve finished the programme, you’ve learnt so much and now the real work begins. Where do you start when it comes to turning all of that learning into action? What does the theory look like in practical terms to ensure that you take your business from good to great? We know that, without accountability, support and challenge it is easy to lose focus on those high pay off activities that will enable you to gain traction in your business. And this is where our Growth Springboard Programme comes in.
Why not join one of our small groups of MDs (no more than 7) from non-competing businesses (all graduates from either the GS10KSB or our Strategic Leaders Programmes). We’d like to invite you to participate in a series of facilitated quarterly workshop days which provide you with ‘the board you can’t afford’ and ensure that you build on the learning. The aim is to ensure that every member of the group is stretched, challenged, supported and, most importantly, made accountable for delivering on their business growth intentions.
These quarterly full day sessions are expertly facilitated by a Morgan James Consulting Leader and will give you the opportunity to: Share your greatest challenges and opportunities with a closed group of MDs who act as sounding boards and coaches to help you to overcome or capitalise on them Enter ‘the Panic Room!’ Bring your worst nightmare or challenge to the group for us to intensively focus on that challenge and help you to find a solution to the issue Build Your Leadership Competence: we will introduce models, ideas and discussions that address your business priorities which might include: recruitment and performance issues; decision making; making the most of the opportunities; B2B versus B2C selling; funding for growth or sustainability; product development; mergers and acquisitions; R&D opportunities; accessing new markets; PR and social media; using psychometrics for greater awareness; cultural change and challenges; getting the vision off the paper & into the behaviours; how to stop being everyone’s dad (or mum!) in your business!…plus many others topics that members bring to the table can be addressed through these sessions Learn from the experts: We regularly invite another guest who has ‘been there, seen it, done it, made the mistakes and masterminded the recovery or sale!’ to inspire you to overcome your own blocks and build your business Put the Learning into Practise: Using bespoke business simulations that are designed to replicate your work placed experiences, we give you the opportunity to live out scenarios and embed the learning in a safe and confidential environment Plan Your Work and Work Your Plan: Every member of the group commits to deliver on quarterly strategic priorities and is held accountable by the rest of the group’s members.

WHY CHOOSE MORGAN JAMES CONSULTING FOR A STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP PROGRAM?
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Michael Howard:
Following the completion of the brilliant GS10KSB Programme which Lily delivered the leadership elements of a handful of business owners wanted to continue our development and hold ourselves accountable to ensure we delivered the plans we’d put in place.
Hayley Kenyon DipPFS:
The structure of the Effective Managers Programme delivered by Morgan James has helped me to be conscious of my behaviours, given me lots of ideas to take away to implement within my team and the business. I feel much more confident now around making decisions, dealing with difficult conversations and I’ve really become more conscious around my delegation skills, something I need to keep developing as my team and the business grows.
Diana MacCarthy:
Lily Newman totally transformed my leadership style, in fact I am not sure I knew what my style was, until I embarked on her training programme. In sharing her authentic self and with caring challenge, she shaped me into the kind or caring and inspiring leader I had always wanted to be.
Jay Allen:
Strategic Leaders should be mandatory for every emerging leader. Under the exceptional tutorage of Lily Newman and her team of highly skilled and devoted associates, the level, diversity and depth of, not just theory, but supervised practical application of all the elements required to be an effective leader is unsurpassed. Over the course duration, you experience a greater sense of self, whilst building a lifelong bond with other leaders on the course from various backgrounds and experiences. The course has transformed our thinking, actions and outcomes, to which much of our future shall be in part determined by what we learnt here today.
Ajaz Rathore:
Lily Newman has worked with our group for over 15 years, consistently bringing clarity, challenge, and inspiration. Her leadership has shaped how we develop our people, strengthened our culture, and helped us navigate both change and growth.
Ed Robinson:
I thoroughly enjoyed the Effective Managers Programme with Morgan James Consulting. It was engaging, thought provoking, and has helped me in my management of myself and others. I learnt a lot regarding delegation and dealing with difficult conversations with team members. Being relatively new to managing people, I found the training invaluable.
Helen Pedder:
Lily is an inspiring coach who helped me build confidence and grow into a courageous, authentic, and empowered leader.
Rob Henderson:
JDA have been fortunate enough to be involved in one of Morgan James Growth Group for the last 12 months – it has been transformational. Whilst a change of mindset is required to open up to a group of people outside of your business, once there the sessions become hugely beneficial not only to me as a Director but to the company as a whole. Rarely are you held to account in such a supportive and positive way but with an excellent chair in Lily herself. The sessions combine the best practice of some key note speakers with the open and inclusive personal sessions that set the tone for JDA’s future growth.
Paul Miller:
Lily is the woman who inspired and coached a group of women, petrified of heights, to wing-walk on a Bi-plane. Lily's ability to lead, inspire and liberate others shows up in everything that Morgan James does.
Senior Manager:
I just want to thank you wholeheartedly for the support you’ve given me over the past 9 months. I really feel like I have a much rounder understanding of who I am as a leader and have learnt so many techniques for improving my ability to consider and involve others. You have played an instrumental part in supporting me through a particularly challenging time and have helped me to develop a level of resilience I never thought possible. I genuinely believe my sessions with you have played a huge part in getting me through one of the toughest experiences in my career. You have such an ability to re-focus and help me to step outside the situation and see things so much more clearly. Lily, you truly are a wonderful coach and human being!
