What We Offer
Women Leading Sustainable Innovation
An intensive programme combining personal development, leadership impact and strategic innovation. Designed and delivered by Dr Jo North and Professor Joanna Berry, this experience helps women build confidence, influence and a clear leadership identity in innovation and sustainability roles.
Innovation Mindset and Resilience
Develops the habits, thinking and energy needed to lead innovation under pressure. Participants learn how to stay creative, motivated and focused—even when results are slow, ambiguity is high, and the work is complex.
Strategic Stakeholder Engagement and Influence
For senior leaders navigating complex, high-stakes environments. This session equips them to influence without authority, manage resistance, build trust and align diverse stakeholders around shared goals.
Mastering Challenge and Difficult Conversations
Practical tools and support for leading honest, constructive conversations—especially when the topic is tough. Ideal for building stronger teams, resetting expectations, and developing a culture of trust and progress.
Chairing High-Impact Partnership Meetings
For leaders responsible for steering cross-functional or cross-organisational groups. Helps participants design and lead meetings that drive clarity, accountability and action—especially in complex, resource-stretched settings.
Intergenerational Collaboration Workshops
Helps organisations turn age diversity into innovation strength. Designed for teams spanning multiple generations, this session improves communication, mutual understanding and knowledge sharing across age groups.
Supporting Line Managers of New Graduate Colleagues
Gives line managers the tools and confidence to support graduates effectively. Helps organisations improve retention, performance and early career experience by equipping leaders to support new starters from day one.
