Emerging Leaders

From running a team to leading beyond it.

There's a point where being brilliant at running your own team stops being enough.

The role gets bigger. Leaders need to create the conditions for high performance, coach rather than rescue, navigate more complex conversations and influence people they don't directly manage.

Emerging Leaders helps them make that shift, building the confidence, skills and awareness to lead effectively up, down, across and outside the organisation.

Who it's for

Middle and senior managers who are already leading people, typically with around 3 to 6 years' management experience, and whose role now asks more of them.

They need to create high-performing teams, navigate more complex conversations and influence beyond their immediate team, managing relationships with multiple stakeholders up, down, across and outside the organisation.

The shift

From
Leading a team

To
Leading across the organisation

The sessions

Five practical, interactive 3-hour workshops, typically delivered monthly, with space between sessions to put the learning into practice.

Coaching

Three confidential 20-minute 1:1s with Cate via Zoom: at the start, midway through and at the end of the programme.

The coaching gives each leader individual space to set goals, work through real leadership challenges as the programme progresses and turn what they're learning into action.

The coaching conversations are completely private and confidential.

How we measure it

Before the programme, participants complete a short survey to understand their confidence across the core leadership capabilities, the challenges they're facing and where they most want to develop.

We share the overall themes and findings with your People team and use them to fine-tune the programme around the cohort.

At the end, we measure again and provide a written impact report showing what has shifted and where further support may be useful.

The outcome

Leaders who coach rather than rescue, building greater ownership and capability in their teams.

Performance and development conversations handled earlier, more clearly and with greater confidence.

Leaders who build relationships and influence up, down, across and outside the organisation.
