WE ARE RECRUITING FOR THE 2024 PROGRAMME – SIGN UP FOR MORE INFORMATION TODAY

Being a Sustainable Leader that Thrives – part of our 8 month Leadership Programme & Accredited with the Institute of Leadership

Sustainability is all we have as leaders in work and life, and is therefore the perfect topic on which to end to our leadership development programme.

Earlier this month, it was a great pleasure and privilege to celebrate the completion of our 8-month Unlocking Your Leadership Growth Potential programme. Our amazing Class of 2023 joined us for our final module, and to celebrate the completion of the Unlocking Your Leadership Growth Potential programme. It’s been an incredible journey of growth, bonding, insight, impact and celebration, which culminated in the preparation of a personal development plan to help guide our leaders on their continued development. On completion of the programme, we were also proud to award delegates their Institute of Leadership certificates and membership.

“It has been a real privilege to have been a part of the class of 23. The Escentia leadership programme is diverse and thought provoking. Through positive learning, it challenges your understanding of the leader you are today and the leader you want to be in the future. Offering the focused time to work through ‘the how’ you will get there. A genuine career defining opportunity and one that will shape my approach for years to come.”

This impactful two-day event started with practical sessions on leading in ambiguity, by Resilience practitioners Paula Tully and Matt Juby. The session was centred around the key behaviours required to respond effectively to high levels of challenge, complexity, change and ambiguity, which leaders increasingly have to cope with.  This session also delivered a range of practical tools to enable a more flexible, sustainable leader to thrive during change and ambiguity.

“Loved the program! Practical and focused on really understanding the Leader you are and aspire to be, and a clear IDP to enable it.”

“Change, Complexity and Ambiguity will continue to increase exponentially, and this program has given me so many tools to cope with this and help me become a flexible and liberator leader in change!”

This was followed by an inspiring and energetic session, which examined the fundamental nature of leadership problems and the key decision making styles and assistance required to solve them. This session was led by guest speaker, Keith Grint, Professor Emeritus at Warwick University where he was Professor of Public Leadership.

The final day was led by Ruth Simpson, also a programme coach, who focused on the realities of constant change and transition for senior leaders, and effective strategies to manage change in a sustainable way.  Ruth has a corporate and consulting background, a Master Practitioner EMCC accredited coach, who specialises in coaching for senior leader transitions.

During this module, there was also time for self-reflection and the sharing of insights gained. The culmination of which was a delegate presentation and feedback session on their personal development plans – applying all their learnings along the way, and serving as a guide for further development. Delegates will also have a further opportunity to polish their plan with their coach, at their final coaching session in the coming weeks.

Lastly, this module provided an important opportunity to celebrate the journey together with our delegates, coaches and team, where we brought some festive fun to the evening event. Find out what some of our delegates thought about the programme in the following video clip.

“The program cleverly builds elements that, once pieced together, help to give you clarity on who you are, what’s important and the leader you aspire to be in the future.”
