Martin Drake ripped up the rule book and invited the "dynamic duo" that is Gemma Ellison and myself onto his podcast, Is This Room Free? We're not HR. But we are all about people.  In particular, we're focused on enabling people to be and experience their best self. And enabling them to develop in a way that provides most value to the organisation. All this whilst creating the most engaging experience that means we feel good about what we do. So in this conversation, we unpick leadership development at its best, which is what we've created with Leadership Labs. This is about a process for honesty, collaboration, peer support and experiential learning. That might now sound mainstream but we push the boundaries. We empower leaders to design experiments that drive positive change in their businesses. Are you interested in a different way to develop the skills, confidence and ability to problem solve that is required of leaders today? Whether you're at the top of an organisation or leading a team of people in a managerial role... Leadership Labs will help you. Get in touch to find out more and benefit from the summer booking discount for our next Open Lab starting in September.
