Certified Practitioner
Develop leaders to create thinkers, not followers.A practical leadership development journey that starts with self-awareness and develops the skills, confidence and capability to lead others more effectively. Combining personal development, coaching skills, workplace practice and group coaching, it helps leaders change how they lead, not just what they know.
Because people grow when they do the thinking.
The way your leaders think, behave and show up every day has a huge impact on the people around them.
When the pressure is on, even experienced leaders can fall into familiar habits. They take control, provide answers, solve problems and do the thinking.
The more thinking they do for others, the less opportunity their people have to develop confidence, capability and accountability.
That's why we created Ask More, Tell Less.® for Leaders.Leadership development needs to start with self-awareness
Your leaders have a significant impact on the people around them.
But how aware are they of that impact?
Their beliefs, assumptions and habits influence how they communicate, make decisions, respond under pressure and develop their teams.And when leaders lack that awareness, even the best leadership skills can be difficult to put into practice.
That's why Ask More, Tell Less.® for Leaders starts with developing self-awareness, before building the practical coaching skills that help leaders bring out the best in others.
Developing better leaders starts with helping
them think differently about how they lead.
What will be different in your organisation?
When leaders become more aware of themselves and more skilful in their conversations, the impact reaches far beyond the individual.
More effective leaders
Leaders understand their impact, recognise unhelpful habits and take greater responsibility for how they lead.
Stronger leadership conversations
Everyday conversations become opportunities to build trust, develop capability, improve performance and support growth.
Greater ownership and accountability
People are encouraged to think for themselves, make decisions and take responsibility rather than always looking to their manager for answers.
More confident and capable teams
Leaders spend less time solving everyone's problems and more time helping people develop the confidence and skills to solve their own.
Sustainable behavioural change
Practical application, group coaching and behavioural assessment help turn learning into everyday leadership habits.
The Ask More, Tell Less.®
for Leaders Journey
A blended leadership development programme combining face-to-face learning, group coaching, workplace application and behavioural assessment.
-
You can’t lead others until you know how to lead yourself.
One practical, face-to-face development day exploring how thinking, beliefs, behaviours and habits influence leadership effectiveness.
Leaders develop greater self-awareness, recognise their impact on others and identify what they need to think or do differently.
-
Reflect On It. Creating the space to think.
A facilitated group coaching session gives leaders the opportunity to explore real leadership challenges, reflect on their learning and gain new perspectives.
Rather than being given answers, leaders develop their own thinking, learn from one another and take ownership of their development.
-
Learn It and Practise It
Develop the conversations that build capability.
Two practical, face-to-face development days that help leaders move from telling and problem-solving towards coaching, challenging and developing others.

Listen to understand and ask better questions.
Use coaching skills in everyday leadership conversations.
Create greater ownership and accountability.
Give effective feedback.
Navigate difficult conversations.
Support career development and goal setting.

Demonstrate It
Because knowing what to do isn't the same as doing it.

They receive structured feedback on their strengths and development opportunities, helping turn learning into greater confidence and capability.
-
Embed It. Make the learning stick.
A further facilitated group coaching session gives leaders the opportunity to reflect on their progress, explore real challenges and continue developing their leadership approach.
The focus is on embedding new behaviours, strengthening accountability and sustaining change beyond the programme.
