Leadership Skills Training Ltd.

Leadership Skills Training Limited has specialised in leadership development and presentation skills since 1984, making us one of the most experienced international consultancies.

OUR COMPANY

We retain this focus today, helping leaders communicate their messages with confidence and courage to their clients, colleagues, stakeholders and shareholders. Our service is 100% bespoke - we always start with you and your organisation. After all, leadership has no instruction manual!

However, we understand common themes hold true in every organisation and for every individual. Key today is what we term the ‘ladder gap’; the skills that have carried a person through one level are usually not enough to take them to the next. Moreover, the higher you get, the bigger the rungs are. Technical knowledge is vital but not sufficient for a world where personality is king. Future leaders need to demonstrate flexibility, integrity, empathy, presence, humour, courage and vision. We focus on bringing personality and punch into a person's work style, whilst helping them give their message clarity and resonance. We encourage them to not only know their message but be their message. The result? Leaders who operate more effectively at all levels, communicating and connecting at the same time.

- we like to call it ‘connecticating’.

HERE’S WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:

"Just wanted to say a big thank

you on behalf of myself and

colleagues for the incredible

training you delivered to us on

Wednesday.

In almost 31 year of Service with

the FCO I have never been on

a course where you literally saw

people developing confidence

and ability in front of your eyes

and delivering results by the

end of the day.

I very much include myself in

that statement."

- Andy Brown, Foreign & Commonewalth Office

All of our development strategies are underpinned by our ‘WOW’ methodology – a tried and tested philosophy that will ensure the leaders in your organisation achieve impact, gain engagement and increase influence with colleagues, clients, stakeholders and shareholders.

Based on our 35 years of results and experience, we have identified three essential elements of leadership and communication which together form the cornerstone of our WOW philosophy.

‘What’s your impact?’ focuses not just on the ability to give your communication and messages clarity and punch but also on delivering it in a way that resonates powerfully. We call it connecticating – communicating and connecting at the same time. It’s about living and breathing your message in everything you do and every conversation you have – essentially being your message - to take people with you and achieve results.

‘The Orbit Effect’ is about concentrating on your sphere of influence, investing in relationships and adapting your personal style so it is in tune with the people around you, while expanding your network to engage with stakeholders outside of your daily routine.

‘What’s most crucial?’ explores how you can make life changes that ensure you are always giving – and people are consistently seeing - the best you. It’s about nailing down your priorities, reflecting on what is important to you, your achievements and goals for the future. It also recognises the vital contribution of your team in your success.

Our leadership experts, whether they are consulting, coaching, mentoring or training, can tailor all or any one element of the WOW philosophy to suit your organisation’s needs.

What’s most crucial?

LIMBER LEADERSHIP

W What’s possible? O Objectives and stakeholder alignment W What will you be remembered for?

Created for leaders and their teams, we will start you on the journey to become future-fit to lead your business in this changing world with the future in mind. Teams members will have the opportunity to push their own boundaries in order to find synergies, they will be able to work across disciplines, collaborate effectively and make unique associations to improve their capacity to lead. Its only when you have stepped outside of your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow and transform.

PULSE PROGRAMME

W What's your Impact? O Outstanding leadership W Well-being in leadership

The PULSE programme offers a series of six highly bespoke, personalised sessions over six months, designed for senior leaders facing defining points in their career. We support, challenge and highlight the art of the possible - stretching individuals to transcend expectations in their professional life, pushing boundaries to empower them to operate at unprecedented levels of impact, yet always incorporating the strategic objectives of their organisation as a backdrop.

Our PULSE approach helps leaders crystallise their vision and express their message clearly and succinctly in a way that resonates with colleagues, clients and stakeholders. We encourage individuals to take calculated risks whilst building trust - with peers, with their team but more importantly in themselves. Leaders complete the course with a template of themselves at their best, so their careers aspirations become inevitable.

Inform & Inspire

CREATING A CELEBRATED CONFERENCE

W Where do we want to be? O One compelling, cohesive and unifying theme W We’re in it together and ready to take action

Conferences present a big investment - in time and money - yet all too often the opportunity to impart a powerful and vivid vision for change is lost in a sea of disparate ideas and messages. Our Creating a Celebrated Conference package offers the opportunity for senior leaders to work together to build a compelling, cohesive yet simple theme for their organisation’s corporate vision that makes it believable, achievable and a catalyst for action. However, we understand that a theme alone will not provide the sole inspiration that packs the punch that allows an audience to be inspired, so we will guide you through the pitfalls of seemingly average conferences and ensure that yours is the conference that sets the highest standard.

POWERFUL PUBLIC SPEAKING

W What are your audience’s motivations? O Orchestrating a perfect performance W Winning over with the Q&A

With a major conference on the horizon, we can also help presenters polish both their content and delivery. Our coaching ensures each presenter has a clear understanding of the audiences’ interests, barriers and motivations so they can position their content accordingly. We then rehearse with speakers, working on stage presence, gestures, body language, eye contact, energy and vocal variety. How the Q&A session is handled is arguably just as important as the presentation itself, so we also provide tips and techniques that give presenters the confidence to handle - not react to - questions.
