Leadership Development
What is it?
We offer bespoke programmes, designed around your specific needs to equip leaders to achieve their full potential and to create workplace cultures that enable your teams to thrive. Through a combination of training, group coaching and individual coaching, we give your leaders practical skills that they can apply from day one of the programme.
Who is it for?
Our programmes are designed for senior executive teams and Boards. We also do bespoke programmes for mid-career women leaders of colour on how to navigate systemic bias.
Why it matters?
Leaders drive success and set the tone for organisational culture, yet too many leaders do not have the right skills to get the best from their teams.
The result?
- Sub-par business results
- Exhausted leaders and teams
- Siloed working
- Loss of great employees
What makes us different?
We start by understanding your leaders’ and business’ needs so we can build our programmes around you. We give leaders support, thinking tools, practical techniques, with opportunities try things out and then reflect so leaders can embed learning in day-to-day practice. We link everything we do back to your mission and business drivers.
Case Study
RSPB had commissioned Full Colour to carry out an equity and inclusion audit: a deep dive into what was holding them back from being the truly inclusive organisation they aspired to be. RSPB understand how deeply inclusion matters to their ambitions to save nature from the crisis it faces. One of the audit’s findings was that while keen to be inclusive, its top team lacked core EDI competencies. The RSPB invited Full Colour back to develop and deliver an inclusive leadership development programme.
Full Colour created a bespoke programme to introduce key concepts and help the CEO, her line reports and the team reporting into them to turn these concepts into practical action, building on their existing leadership skills and locking into the RSPB’s mission and values. Leaders were supported to internalise their learning through group and 1:1 coaching.
Chief Operating Officer James Robinson said: “Full Colour’s programme set the foundations for our leadership team that has enabled us to move forward in leaps and bounds. I see a lot of action to drive equity and inclusion happening across the RSPB that wasn’t happening before. You’ve lit a fire that is burning and will not go out.”
