Executive Team Leadership Development

Build a more connected, courageous, and collaborative team - drive organisational change for the success of your business.

Executive Team Leadership Development

Duration and location

Team sessions take place either online or face-to-face as a paired walk and talk in the South Downs National Park, East Sussex. If delivered virtually, the sessions are normally one hour long, while walk and talk sessions can last two hours.

Confidentiality

Throughout the experience, I encourage you to enlist the support of your HR business partner, if possible. One exception to my confidentiality guarantee is in the extreme circumstances where a person has threatened themselves, others, and/or the company they work for. Even then, communication with those within or outwith an organisation that can provide appropriate help is with the person’s full knowledge and agreement.

Trust

At no point in the relationship do I have a conversation with anyone other than you, my client. I have a reputation for practising absolute confidentiality and for being someone people can trust and be open with. I value this reputation highly.

Open up opportunities for growth - together

I love partnering with senior leaders and their teams. It brings me joy to build a relationship with the senior leader, and support them and their team on what it means to be part of a 'high performing leadership team'. I help provide a deeper appreciation and understanding of what being a leader amongst leaders means, and, in particular, what it means to be a leadership team above and beyond each person's particular area of responsibility.

Through this, you and your team grow, learn, and collaborate when you need to; you better understand when cooperation or coordination is beneficial or needed, based on having developed a greater understanding of each other. Ultimately, you, as a leader, will have a deeper commitment to the success of other members of your team, the wider team, and your company.

Co-creating a collaborative team

I partner with Chief Executives, Presidents and Vice Presidents, Senior Leaders and their teams, helping them develop their individual, team, and collective leadership strengths. The partnership begins with me listening and asking specifically designed questions to understand your context/situation and ambition. The purpose is to not only benefit our work together, but also benefit your business in order to:

  • Create your shared purpose and vision 

  • Understand what you truly care about as a team

  • Appreciate your strengths and differences

  • Discover your values and beliefs

  • Hold open and honest conversations

  • Build your team's confidence and capabilities

Executive Team Leadership Development can include the power of paired Walk and Talks, outside in nature, in parks, and in city centres.

“Anni has been working with my senior leadership team over the last nine months as we have built a new team, grown our collective leadership, and matured our shared vision and priorities. Her sensitive, inquisitive, but also very dynamic, approach has really helped the team to grow our relationships and trust, and the group coaching is always a priority for us all. I am very grateful to have found a coach that aligns so well to our core values of openness, honesty, integrity, and kindness.”

My Approach to Team Development

Who Will Benefit

This partnership and mentoring is suitable for all organisations that want to grow and foster a safe environment of collaboration, connection, and care. After three sessions, we review our progress together. The space between sessions gives you time to reflect and to practise new behaviours, individually and together.

What to Expect

We start with an initial call and agree on how we are going to work together. The first session builds on this conversation by going more deeply into the aims and objectives for Organisational Development. I’ll ask questions such as 'What do you wish to gain for the wider organisation, and for the future of the business?' to better understand your context and ambition.

How It Works

At the end of this first session, you will have a clear path forward of what you are going to work on and practise, with a time-frame for sessions. I will also encourage you to ask for support with your objectives and to seek feedback wherever possible on your progress.

The Walk and Talk

In all of my work, I see first-hand how side-by-side conversations can facilitate a significant shift in perspective, allowing people to think deeply and move calmly through things. I’m a huge fan of the walk and talk, be that taking a moment to stroll round the block or striding through the countryside.  

In my work, I create environments in which people feel safe to have the conversations that matter to them. An intentional side-by-side walk can help free up the body, mind, and spirit, enabling people to move through seemingly insurmountable challenges and lean into more courageous conversations.
