Develop Your Future Leaders
Shape a bright future for
your organisation
Your organisation is home to inspiring leaders. And the promising talent you will grow into the next generation of leaders. Leaders who, with the right support, will transform your organisation with a vision everyone wants to be part of.
You understand new leaders are made on the job. Through insightful feedback and performance management. A promotion that offers your ambitious young manager just enough stretch. The right exposure to leaders high up in the organisation.
But you also know that’s not enough.
The Leadership Development Challenge
The leap from expert to leader
One day, your best talent has all the answers. As your organisation’s go-to expert, they add value through top-of-the-line knowledge. But when their impact catapults them into leadership, everything changes.
They go from being the person with all the answers to developing those on their team who have. From doing the work to getting the work done. From technical mastery to managing relationships and politics. Leading conversations they’ve never had to have before.
Many emerging leaders face common challenges on their way up. Leadership development programs with their peers can boost their skills at the right time. While creating the peer network they need.

“Our previous program didn’t have the kind of impact we were hoping for.”
Your organisation likely had its fair share of leadership programs. If you are reading this, it’s also likely that you are looking for something new.
“Nothing really changed,” my clients all too often tell me about their experience. Most leadership programs focus on generic leadership skills. Those programs miss the real challenge—helping your best people learn to lead through others instead of doing everything themselves. They fail to address the critical shift in identity from expert to leader. And lack guidance on how to develop that leadership identity in a sustainable, lasting way.
Most leadership programs look amazing on paper. They are targeting the right skills. But once the training is done, so is the impact.
Tailored Leadership Development
Find your optimal fit
One size definitely doesn’t fit all. When you are developing visionary leaders and high-performing teams, you need a training fit for your organisation. One that is tailored to the group of talented individuals attending.
You need the right mix of personal mentoring, group training and coaching to make impact stick. Individual participants receive personal mentoring so they can experiment and gain clarity. About the kind of leader they want and need to become to achieve success in their role. And how to get there.
That’s why your (emerging) leaders get a personalised action plan. It builds on their strengths and targets their developmental gaps to have real impact in their day-to-day work. And to embed lasting leadership practices.

“We already run a successful leadership development program, but…”
Maybe your current leadership development program does work well. Your people enjoy the sessions, give good feedback and walk away feeling inspired. But creating lasting behavioural change? Much harder than you expected.
The reality is… Three months later, most participants have slipped back into old patterns. The insights from that expensive assessment are gathering dust. The breakthrough moments in the workshop didn’t translate into different leadership behaviors once they got back to work.
Making change stick
It’s not you. It’s the behaviour change.
It’s not that your program is ‘wrong.’ Or your people aren’t committed enough. Behaviour change is one of the hardest things to crack. It requires more than awareness or good intentions.
Making change stick needs the right support, the right accountability and the right approach. I bring customised leadership development programs that do just that. So your future leaders get the targeted training they need.
Need an example? Many organisations have invested in tools like Insights Discovery. Unfortunately, the learning often stays surface-level. Using Insights, I help your leaders go much deeper. We move beyond knowing your “colour” to strategically using your Insights profile as a leadership map. Your leaders learn how to consciously adapt their style to influence different stakeholders, navigate complex situations and lead through change.
From insight to action. And lasting impact.
And you get leadership development that works with the program you already have. Because I get it. As a former HR leader, I know your investments should be complementary. Scalable. Help your leaders move from mere insight to real action so they create lasting change.
Leadership Development
The road to the top
Your organisation moves fast. Your leaders operate under intense pressure. So often, they get consumed by daily demands. They react instead of intentionally leading themselves or their teams.
Pulled in too many directions, it’s easy to get a little lost. To say yes to everything.
But reactive leadership comes at a cost. Poor decisions made under pressure. Miscommunication when leaders don’t adapt to their audience. Silos created by a lack of trust. Teams that lack ownership. Opportunities missed while your leader is firefighting. And solutions that create three new problems by fixing one.
It takes a step back to shape your future. So at the core of my effective leadership programs, I offer space. Space for you leaders to reflect. To sharpen their decision-making.
So your leaders know when to pause. To make better decisions, focus on the problems that matter and build teams that don’t need them to have all the answers.
So they can lead with intention—not just for themselves, but for their teams. And deliver results.
Growing your
next leaders
Within the programs I offer, your leaders use the space to connect with themselves and their peers. And to build real-life skills and tools that grow their leadership impact—in a way that lasts:
✓ Enhance their self-awareness and emotional intelligence to transform from technical expert to influential leader
✓ Build influence without authority across all levels
✓ Develop others instead of doing everything themselves
✓ Lead with confidence through uncertainty and change
✓ Hone their coaching skills and ability to surface what everyone’s thinking but no one’s saying
✓ Create high-trusting and high-performing teams
✓ Improve team resilience and adaptability
Your leaders get everything they need to succeed. While they bring their highly effective teams along.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
How we work together
No organisation is the same. Your leadership program shouldn’t be either.
My structured, scalable approach combines executive coaching, leadership mentoring and team coaching. So you can develop leadership at every level in your organisation.
For individuals and small teams, I offer a combination of one-to-one coaching and mentorship to strengthen leadership confidence, adaptability, and strategic thinking.
The content and format of your leadership program depends on your needs. My approach, however, follows three steps for proven impact:
→ Step 1: Gain clarity
To see clearly, we need to step back. We start by gathering comprehensive data to see the full picture. From the foundational intake and one-to-one development interviews. To the best-suited assessments depending on the group needs. If your organisation already uses Insights Discovery, we build on the existing foundation to take the application and learning to a much deeper level.
Based on fresh insights, we identify what works. What your existing programs already offer to your leaders. And where you still need support. You co-create the development roadmap with me. With clear, actionable goals, specific to each individual.
→ Step 2: Boost growth
Your (emerging) leaders get the mix of group coaching, mentoring and structured development they need. So they grow to lead with confidence and impact.
Your co-created roadmap guides the themes of the—typically monthly—group coaching sessions. Each session focuses on target skills for your emerging leaders. And is complemented with a digital platform for real-time tracking and accountability nudges.
Regular one-to-one coaching helps adapt and integrate the learnings based on individual needs. Your participating leaders get the individual mentoring to experiment with various approaches and develop their leadership identity over time. And receive targeted resources to accelerate their development and close skill gaps.
→ Step 3: Make it last
Your organisation isn’t static. Neither is this leadership development program. A pulse survey helps evaluate the program experience and adapt as needed. So your participants get the best results.
Those results don’t end when the program does. New leadership practices—like stepping back, delegating and trust-based relationship building—ensure the change lasts. With time, your participating leaders gain confidence in their leadership identity and learn to lead as themselves and others more effectively. So they emerge more adaptable and resilient. And the growth that started during the program continues long after the last session ends.

“I turned to Gudrun because I needed to lead without authority. I used to think assertiveness was wrong, but I discovered leadership is about polarities—and learned how to be assertive in a way that was right for me. With confidence and in alignment with my values. Now I read the room, respond intentionally and stand up for what I believe will move our organisation where it needs to go. The difference in me is truly day and night!”
