Your Further Roadmap

00: Commence

You'll be invited to complete your Leadership Intelligence Assessment (or LQ™️ as we like to call it). Once completed, you’ll meet your Coach-Facilitator for a one-on-one session to discuss the feedback and set your personal learning goals.

01: Conscious

The one where you learn to be a more conscious leader:

Define what makes an exceptional leader and how to adapt your style to different situations
Develop your self-management to help you choose and regulate the behaviours that have the impact you want

02: Coach

The one where you'll transform your listening skills and questioning skills:

Ignite your coaching mindset and transform your listening skills as a coach-leader
Practice powerful questions that help your team explore new possibilities and unlock creativity

03: Challenge

The one where you challenge and motivate others to grow:

Navigate the delicate balance of challenge and support to stretch comfort zones and optimise performance
Help others overcome limiting beliefs and set more motivating goals

04: Collaborate

The one where you'll encourage greater inclusion and innovation:

Foster psychological safety to encourage greater contribution and collaboration
Learn how to play the role of a team facilitator to build a culture of trust, openness, diversity of thought and positive challenge in a team

05: Candour

The one where you'll develop the confidence to tackle tough conversations:

Give and receive feedback using coach-level communication and conversation management
Understand the neuroscience behind defensive reactions, how to self regulate and help others do the same

06: Connect

The one where you'll develop your ability to lead change:

Develop your visionary leadership by starting with why and storytelling
Improve buy-in to your decision making and strategic communication

07: Celebrate!

The one where you’ll celebrate your achievements and plan ahead to the future

Reflect as a group on how your behaviours, skills and confidence have developed over the programme
Commit to your continued professional development in peer-to-peer coaching conversations

I feel nervous about joining. Can I meet the rest of my cohort before the programme starts?
