Festive Newsletter 2024
What’s been happening?
It feels like this year has raced by, but I suppose that is more a symptom of so much activity than anything else...
This year we:
welcomed our 9th & 10th cohorts of Senior Leaders’ and 4th cohort of Middle Leaders’ Group Coaching Programmes, comprising 36 group sessions,
continued to provide Leadership Training Programmes for our video games clients,
provided 160 1:1 coaching sessions,
provided 193 workshops and CPD sessions,
led 45 Positive Intelligence PQ sessions,
joined the International Coaching Federation as an accredited ACC associate,
travelled to Dublin, Morocco, Mull, Austria, Northern Spain, Brussels, and Cyprus,
met with friends and colleagues, old and new, and enjoyed some family time too.
Hmm, no wonder it’s zoomed by!
What’s coming up?
All our leadership development facilitation is bespoke to the needs of the team and leaders involved. As well as our gaming companies, we also work with schools and organisations in Bristol, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire and London. These can be tailored for aspiring middle leaders, middle leaders, aspiring senior leaders, or senior leaders to enable skills development and an understanding of the needs of leadership roles at any level.
“Very thought provoking in areas that I never normally explore and provided a wealth of tools to take to my team management. The tools and knowledge gained by the course has impact beyond just how we can be better managers.”

We’re now providing team coaching for teams that want to maximise their performance together, further enhance their way of working to the next level, or simply to iron out some communication difficulties. This is a powerful and growing new type of coaching, and is distinct from the facilitation work we undertake. Working with one of my associates, Ros Sutton, we work with teams during the normal course of their meetings together, and perhaps also supplement with development facilitation. The work we have been doing supporting teams to build psychological safety has been particularly well received.
“It was a really impactful and collaborative use of time. Thought it was also a really great team building exercise. I felt like I got to know my team a little better.”

Linked to this are the one-off CPD sessions as training days or twilights, on any aspect of leadership including Leadership Presence, Developing Awareness, Resilient Decision Making, Establishing Psychological Safety, Successful Challenging Conversations, and more…
“Definitely recommended, hugely worthwhile session to attend.”
CPD Workshop participant
We get many requests for 1:1 coaching services, both in person and online, and again devise bespoke packages for leaders depending upon their needs – some want support establishing themselves as they take on new roles, others as they consider the different direction they want their career to take, and some are at critical times and want to process what is happening and gain clarity of direction.
“I found the coaching support transformative. It helped me gain clarity during a period of great change and uncertainty and led me to a new role - a promotion - with even greater purpose and sense of fulfilment. I am really grateful.”
