Programme Overview Executive Summary

Our elite Women’s Executive Leadership Programme is a highly innovative leadership development opportunity, which helps the leaders of tomorrow realise their full potential.

Women leaders often struggle to develop their own leadership styles and to effectively enhance their power and status within their organisation. The under-utilising of their talents and skills in a work culture underpinned by male standards means that women are often unable to fulfil their personal and professional potential.

This intensive and dynamic five-day programme is transformative. It will empower you to optimise individual performance as well as organisational impact. By developing the necessary skills and the leadership mindset needed to forge ahead towards your career goals, you will become an effective leader in your discipline.

As a woman in a leadership position, you will learn to overcome hurdles you face, optimise your potential, and turn business challenges into career-building opportunities. There is no other programme like this anywhere!

How we are uniquely experienced to provide training

Counsel for Leadership is a communications and leadership consultancy unlike any other. Each of our trainers is a qualified and practising UK barris-ter with a proven track record of excellence. As barristers, our trainers have to deploy leadership and communication skills on a daily basis in a very high stakes environment. We believe that these skills deployed daily by our barristers, and acquired through years of training, litigation and courtroom battles, are transferable and can also be applied to any situation outside the courts to enable individuals and organisations. We develop these key skills in our clients to achieve success.

Why Choose Us

• Our programmes will meet organisational and individual needs.

• Our trainers are of the highest caliber.• Our programme contents are truly unique.• Our programmes are quality assured and accred-

ited.• Our training methods are highly effective.• Our training venues are conducive to learning.

Programme Highlights

You will learn to develop and market a personal brand that enables you to communicate who you are and what you have to offer; enhance your interview technique to ensure that you get your message across; demonstrate your interests, motivations, skills and talent to achieve your goals; be able to stand out from your competitors; and effectively demonstrate that you are a high potential individual that can bring real value to any institution.

High Performance Teams

Build, manage and drive your team to ensure that they function at optimum levels. You will gain insight into strategies for building high-performing teams and elimi-nating obstacles to effective team work. You will learn to lead your team in a manner that creates a productive work environment, delivers high performance, and fosters creativity.

Public Speaking & Presentation Workshops

Learn how to address a broad spectrum of audiences and deliver your message in a confident, clear and compelling manner. Structure the content of your speech and send out your message with clarity; effectively use language, anecdotes and humour for memorable impact; persuade and influence the audience through building a rapport with them and effectively use visual aids to deliver information from the screen to your audience.

The Art of Persuasion & Influence

Learn how to persuade and influence. Do you have to believe the arguments you are making to convince your audience or can you persuade them irrespective of your beliefs? Can you persuade only when there is strong evidence to support your case? Can you persuade even if the evidence is weak? Learn how to persuade and influence others in any situation.

The Skilled Negotiator

Learn to effectively negotiate and influence. This is perhaps the most important skill that can propel you to success in any role. You will have the chance to explore different approaches to negotiation and to develop your own style. You will be able to deploy a range of skills, approaches and strategies that will deliver you the best results in any given situation.

How Do We Ensure That You See Results?

Collaborative Approach

We work collaboratively with our clients to tailor and develop programmes that are results-driven and genuinely transform the performance of individuals. We are committed to providing value to every organisation we partner with, and achieve this by developing an in-depth understanding of our client’s institution and the challenges they face. Our approach involves a continuous assessment of the needs of the individual and institution to identify and meet the key objectives.

Tailored to Needs

At the outset of any programme, we conduct an initial assessment with questionnaires or interviews before the programme commences to identify the areas for individual improvement. This is to ensure we meet the needs of all individuals and focus on improving competency in the areas where a need has been identified. Once we have carried out an analysis, aims & objectives are agreed, and goals are set.

Accreditation from the Institute of Leadership & Management

The curriculum and learning materials are developed to meet identified needs. We tailor our programmes in the most appropriate format, with each aspect designed in a manner that optimises the learning experience. We use a robustly designed and independently accredited competency framework to ensure each course is tailored and delivered in a way that accelerates learning. Ongoing collaboration helps us to tailor a programme that meets delegates desired outcomes.

Interactive Method of Delivery

We create a stimulating, engaging and highly interactive environment in which to deliver our programmes. Our training methods focus on develop-ing deep personal insight, building a high-level skill set, and increasing leadership capabilities through a variety of mechanisms. We use a mix of theory, role-play, practice presentations and exercises to give delegates all the practical skills they need to create real change.

Continuous Assessment

We use a process of mutual, continuous assessment to ensure that delegates get the most out of our programmes. We assess them to ensure they are learning, retaining, and building upon the skills taught. Detailed feedback from them allows us to examine, evaluate, refresh and fine-tune the programme objectives, content and methodologies to meet their needs.

Post Programme Support

We follow-up eight weeks after the course with a questionnaire to make sure that what delegates have learnt is being implemented. We continue to provide on-going support after the programme ends, should delegates want it. We are committed to ensuring that our programmes contribute to their long term success.

Our Dedicated Programme Delivery Team

The Directors of Counsel for Leadership, along with their dedicated support team, ensure that delegates and their institutions receive an outstanding service at all stages of our programmes. Our Head of Programmes coordinates the delivery of programmes both in the UK and abroad, manages the ongoing relationship, and acts as a consistent point of contact. An Assessment & Evaluation Team of barristers led by Queens Counsel, carry out pre-programme assess-ments and evaluations of individual delegates and their organisations. They then tailor or re-design the programme to meet the requirements. Our Head of Quality Assurance carries out continuous internal assessments and evaluations to ensure the programme matches the client’s objectives and expectations, and is delivered to the highest standard.
