Excellence in Leadership & Management starts here
Consultants quickly progress to managing others. This is the start of their journey to becoming a leader within the firm, and can be a challenging step.
Moving from doing to delegating. Holding difficult conversations about performance. Being a coach. Learning, and influencing, how the firm operates.
​
There can be moments that provoke and develop self-awareness. With growing demands from team members and Partners, increasingly senior clients, and often family too, this is a time when resilience can become critical.
​
We help your team navigate the journey into consulting firm Leadership through specialist skills training and 1-2-1 coaching.
