Discover leadership insights and tips from our team, with decades of business leadership experience.
Taking Classroom Theory to the Outdoors
At Escentia, we believe in enhancing leadership theory and learnings gained in the classroom, with practical application outside in nature to maximise growth. This is why most of our workshops incorporate both classroom and outdoor learning elements, such as team building events, woodland hikes or memorable campfire moments.
Impacting People, Organisations and Planet
Escentia’s raison d’etre is to enable individuals, teams and organisations to intentionally be the best that they can be. But we’re also keen to do our bit for the Planet, which is why we have partnered with One Tree Planted (OTP), a non-profit organisation focused on global reforestation, who plant trees where they are needed most.
The Escentia Leadership Journey
I’m often asked about the origin of our name, Escentia. It’s a Latin word meaning the process of becoming or being. In the context of leadership growth and development, it’s about standing in our power so that we are being confident and strong, and are ready to lead ourselves, our teams and our organisations in ambiguity.
Pfizer Client Testimonial
At Escentia, we consider it a privilege to be asked and trusted to lead important and powerful workshops with incredible leaders, such as the Pfizer IDM Biopharma team meeting last week. We wanted to share the client testimonial we received from this global leadership team.
Escentia Partner with NHS Sutton Health & Care
Escentia kick started the month by facilitating the 2-day "Big Tent Event" with the NHS Sutton Health & Care Trust, lead by their leader Lucy Botting. It was the first time they have come together in over 2.5 years – post the covid pandemic. With 400 delegates represented over two days, it was a truly humbling experience to be a part of such a meeting and to hear the differences made by everyone across 30 very different services (children's and adult NHS services).
Create a Focus Plan to help you lead and live with intention
In the buzz of a hectic life, many of us find ourselves running from one activity to the next, with little time for pause and reflection. However, if we don’t take care of our energy, we cannot be a sustainable leader in life and work and we cannot be the best version of ourselves for our team, or our family and friends. We've created a Focus Plan to help you become clear and courageous about the things that you need in your life which allow you to lead and live with greater intention. Download your copy today!
