Leading through Turbulence
For leaders and coaches of leaders
About the programme
We’re living in unprecedented times. Every day leaders are faced with complex challenges from developments in technology, climate change, international politics, globalisation and volatile markets – to name just a few. Before you’ve had a chance to respond to one challenge, a new one comes along.
This programme will help you steer a path through these difficult times by recognising the complex ecosystems you and your organisation are part of. It will help you understand your personal impact and where, when and how to intervene to make the ecosystems stronger so they can thrive in an uncertain and volatile world.

How the programme will help you
During the programme we’ll use different tools and models to help you recognise and understand the environment you work in and the impact of your own behaviours.
These include:
- Systemic or eco-systemic leadership thinking and techniques
- Three Horizon Thinking to give future foresight
- LifePi™ to highlight deep, personal patterns
- Vertical Development to assess your ability to lead in complexity
- An introduction to ideas such as:
- Leadership in the social age, and social media as an ecosystem
- Circularity economics and business design
We’ll help you question:
- Am I providing the leadership people need from me?
- How can I begin to live the life I want to lead?
- Where do I want to make an impact and why?
- How do other leaders in similar positions look at these issues?
- How have the ecosystems I’m part of affected me?
- How will I use this experience and take action?
On the programme you’ll:
- Have a call with one of our coaches before the programme starts to discuss what you’d most like to get from the experience
- Experience deep immersion in patterns outside your normal daily routine
- Draw on the rich parallels from the wildwood, rewilding spaces, ponds, ancient village and commercial cider orchard to stimulate wider thinking
- Reconnect with nature to help you reconnect with your inner self
- Use individual space to consider and assimilate new perspectives
- Receive peer supervision using ecosystem sculpting and a multi-lens approach
- Receive coaching to help you process the leadership behaviours you want to action
- Assess your ability as a leader to see and intervene in ecosystems
The change you’ll see
After the programme you’ll be able to:
- Recognise the personal, organisational and wider ecosystems you’re part of
- Understand how these ecosystems have shaped your behaviour and patterns of thinking
- Identify changes you want to make and intervene in an agile and effective way
- Influence and create business ecosystems that allow individuals, teams and organisations to be at their most effective
- Listen to your inner voice and reconnect with what’s important to you
- Better understand your patterns of behaviour: what drives you, what blocks you, what affects you and your growth
- Relate everything you’ve learned to the physical, emotional and visceral experience you’ve had so its impact is strong, personal and lasting.
