Award-winning leadership programmes

Our Leadership Development programmes stimulate and challenge through leading-edge thinking, we connect people through collective leadership challenges and build leaders with a personal brand, a clear sense of purpose and great people skills.

Our Leadership Development programmes immerse business leaders in group-based and individual challenges to develop their personal leadership and build the collective leadership bench strength in your business. We customise our leadership programmes for your business needs and can size up or size down to meet the priorities of your people and business agenda.

Benefits to your business

Benefits will be felt at a business level, by individual leaders, by their teams and by wider stakeholders.

You will find you have leaders who have increased confidence and focus, who collaborate across the silos and pull together in a crisis, who attract and retain talent, who take time to reflect and think more strategically and who can then act with precision and timing.

As a business you will make more decisions, be more proactive in your marketplace and become known for great leadership.

You can co-create...

The leadership development intervention you co-create with us will draw on some or all of the following elements:

Diagnostics: Personality, emotional intelligence, 360 degree feedback

Modules: Group-based residentials designed to deliver intense, fun, collective learning in areas such as leading self, stimulating change, leading high performing teams, unravelling complexity, building resilience, leading organisations

Co-ops: Action learning in small groups supports transfer of learning and deepens trust

Touchpoints: One-to-one coaching throughout the programmes to accelerate personal change

Masterclasses: Thought leaders, industry experts and sporting heroes bring new perspectives

Intact team work: Leaders are supported to co-facilitate their own team development event

World Café: Celebrate and evaluate the learning journey

We are a creative team of designers and can work with you flexibly to get exactly the right programme for you.

executive coaching*

When you introduce one of our executive coaches to a director in your business, you can feel confident that they will have immediate credibility, focus on clear development goals and build leadership capability and resilience. Once tried, you will come back time and again for a Hennessy Consulting coach.

“Coaching has given me a completely different perspective on my leadership style and I am getting very different business results as a consequence”

Director, Utilities Business

One-to-one coaching is an essential development intervention for senior executives. One-to-one coaching with a Hennessy Consulting coach starts with an intensive diagnostic session which brings an individual’s business and psychological profile into clear relief. This confidential process allows the coach to get to the central issues quickly and draw up a tailored coaching programme.

Our coaches

All coaches are bright, empathic and business savvy. They ‘get’ senior managers, have immediate credibility and develop trust from the off. With a strong focus on development outcomes, we work in partnership with your business to get exactly the right coach for the individual concerned. All our coaches hold a post graduate qualification or a coaching accreditation to give them a professional foundation for their coaching.
