Champions of Change

CHAMPIONS OF CHANGE PROGRAMME

Our Programme improves leaders’ effectiveness.

Effective leadership involves a clear understanding of how good organisations are run, the characteristics and skills of leaders, and a much deeper understanding of one’s own strengths and weaknesses and of those of one’s colleagues.

This course covers the need for leadership learning and teaching as part of the culture of an organisation; our own interest in leadership; and leadership definitions, styles and types. This program of learning and teaching, in constant evolution over the last 10 years, encompasses the essential skills of leadership, with particular focus on leadership of self, of knowing oneself, of working effectively in teams and of knowing and understanding colleagues retrospectively, as well as prospectively. Participants design their own plan for developing and nurturing their leadership skills over the subsequent 18 months.

Programme Vision and Learning Goals

The aim of the course is to inspire, assist and encourage participants to commit to a long-term development of their leadership skills.

On completion of this course, participants will:

Ongoing project

The most popular format of this course is to begin with a 5 day programme that is made up of 20 modules over 30 hours in one week. However, we have followed many different formats and are open to discuss what will work best. Generally, the programme lasts 18 months with follow-ups and coaching a very important part of the engagement.

The general approach is to promote the coaching style of leadership. As a basis the participants are taught the CURIOUS^TM leadership model.

All sessions are delivered in the English Language, however we welcome the engagement of translators where required.
Please find below a sample timetable:

Coaching Philosophy

Lucia Labouchere, our co-founder and coach, is a member of the International Coach Federation at MCC level. She developed our own coaching model called CURIOUS^TM Leadership.

“I believe you have the answers to your questions and that underneath it all you know where you want to go. We start with looking at you and where you are at. I pick and choose tools that I have gained over the last twenty years and offer them to you as I think appropriate. Generally you spend the first sessions working out what you want and where you want to go, in the short and long term, you then move on to look at any blocks/beliefs that may stop you, you look at options for you to consider and you make a plan for you to get where you want to go. I have a special interest in managing relationships, especially those that you might find more challenging like building new relationships to expand a network, managing those that are more senior to you and managing relationships where there is conflict. I train and coach for the World Health Organisation, and support heads of companies in other sectors across the globe – the one criteria I need is that coachees need to be ready to change and are up for wholly engaging in the coaching process.”
