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

Module 3 Real Business Application – part of our 8 month Leadership Programme & Accredited with the Institute of Leadership

We were delighted to welcome back our cohort of delegates last week, onto Module 3 of our 2023 unique, new 8-month guided programme: Unlocking Your Leadership Growth Potential, which has been accredited by the Institute of Leadership.

This inspiring and engaging one-day session included a follow on practical session in the morning, where delegate groups presented their business plan case study and received live feedback from our guest expert, Frank Overtoom – a board level commercial finance leader with a successful track record in achieving business growth, strategic goals and performance improvement.

The afternoon session was then dedicated to preparing the groundwork for the creation of the delegates’ personal development plan. Our guest speaker and coach, Sue Reynolds, led this engaging session on growing and developing as leaders, which covered decision-making, managing conflict and leveraging key stakeholders. Sue Reynolds is a global people leader, with vast experience in leadership development, business transformation and executive coaching and has worked across a broad spectrum of industries, from Construction, Energy, Logistics, Public Sector, Retail, Technology, Start-Ups and the Voluntary sector.

“Its a course like no other.”

“This has changed my life already and I am still eager to continue learning from this great experience.”

“Makes you truly reflect on who you are and what leader you want to show up as.”

“A visual and practical way to learn about who you are as a leader and how you can grow.”

The day was also injected with the important moments of movement and fun – an Escentia hallmark – known to improve sustainability of learning, memory and an enhanced state of mind.

What’s unique about the Escentia 8 month programme?

The programme is like no other and is built around Escentia’s 6 critical ingredients for leadership success; enabling focussed, adaptable and sustainable enterprise leaders.

The goal – leadership development programme, which is designed for a small group of talented senior leaders who are seeking a leadership journey with a lasting impact – injecting leaders with inner confidence and self-belief, and equipping them with a tangible output to take their learnings forward, through to the creation of an individual development plan for the next 12-18 months.

The essence – Unlocking Your Leadership Growth Potential enables clear business leaders that are focussed, adaptable and sustainable, and uniquely focusses on creating an aligned mind and body to become an intentional, confident and sustainable leader in change.

The programme – delivered by an incredible multi-disciplinary panel of highly experienced Executive coaches and highly regarded guest speakers. It is also designed to take classroom learnings to the outdoors, so individuals can experience leadership in a different way and through practical application.

The Assessment – prior to starting this journey, and at the end, all participants complete the Escentia 6C Assessment, which is a 360 development-oriented, quantitative and qualitative assessment which enables us to measure leaders against our 6 critical ingredients for success: clarity, courage, congruence, connection, coherence and compassion. Effectively highlighting areas for further growth and development.

Accreditation – This programme has been accredited by the Institute of Leadership (IoL), which means that all delegates become a fellow of the IoL and will have access to all IoL materials and online offers after finishing the programme.
