FOR THE PEOPLE YOU LEAD

Sort Yourself, Lead Others

A six-day leadership programme for capable leaders who keep getting in their own way. Three two-day blocks over three months, in Northallerton.

Any of this going on?

None of that is a skills problem. Every one of them has been trained for.

Sort yourself first

Every one of those is a conversation somebody avoided. Not one they couldn't have. One they knew how to have, had been on a course about, and still put off until Friday. Then next Friday.

That's why leadership training holds for about three weeks. It teaches the conversation and leaves the reason it doesn't happen completely untouched.

So the first two days here aren't about leadership at all. They're about the person doing it. Then we get to the rest, and it sticks, because there's nothing underneath still pulling the other way.

The first cohort

Seven people finished, from seven completely different jobs. All seven scored it 10 out of 10 for value, relevance and whether they'd recommend it.

Asked how much their day-to-day leadership had actually changed three months on, they scored between 5 and 10, averaging about 7.5. That's the honest number, and the one worth reading.

What they said

I feel like a different person to who I was three months ago, not just a different leader.
Claire Tiffney, HR consultant and business owner
My discomfort with difficult conversations was only difficult because I was putting other people's feelings ahead of my own. But actually I don't know what they are feeling.
Rachel, owner of a windows and conservatories company
A client told me I was useless at my job. I explained my reasoning in a few words and didn't waffle. I did not overthink this after the event.
Kelly, occupational therapist
Comments from my team is they have seen a change within me and my ability.
Shannon, senior support worker

Or is it your own head?

Plenty of people do the one-to-one work first and the programme later. If it's your own overthinking keeping you up, start there instead.
