Our work with senior leadership teams enables them to maximise on their collective potential, we don’t do one hit wonder events. Our approach is systemic and relational helping the leadership team address the core issues, both internally and externally that will support healthy and dynamic functioning for them and their organisation. Our approach is to begin by getting to know the team and its context to inform how we design and create a series of interventions that are fit for purpose and add value. We regularly review progress and adapt to what is emerging. It’s a living process that appreciates contexts, systems and people are continually adapting and changing.
Our leadership programmes support leaders to be at their best whatever their context or challenges, enabling them to ground themselves, grow and flourish. Whether we are exploring leading self, leading others or leading systems all our leadership programmes are experiential and discovery based, designed in partnership with the client organisation. Modules are designed to be highly interactive for maximum group participation and engagement, allow for exploration and experimentation and integration of learning. Our leadership ethos is based on clarity of purpose, authenticity, connectivity, compassion and inclusivity.
In today’s increasingly complex organisations there is a greater recognition of the need for and the power of collective leadership.

Our collective leadership experiences are strategic, relational, engaging, highly interactive and stretching. They bring leaders together so they can generate the commitment and accountability required to support a positive culture and the successful achievement of collective outcomes.

Leadership is about being curious, courageous, compassionate and considerate of contexts. It calls for us to be self aware and act with authenticity, purpose, integrity and humanity.

Our approach to leadership development is powerful, inclusive and collaborative as we create experiences that allow everyone to contribute. We create a space of psychological safety giving leaders the freedom to explore deeply and fully in a supportive and appropriately challenging environment.
“Working with Lucy helped to ensure that a very significant leadership event generated the kind of impact and results that we hoped for. Her authentic approach encouraged the kind of honesty, openness and participation that allowed us to navigate some complex territory successfully.”
"Working with the Novo team is simultaneously a pleasure and invigorating. I really value the way they took time to understand our organisation, people and context – and delivered exceptional leadership development. I really cannot recommend Novo enough."
"Lucy and I worked together for more than three years during which Lucy supported me to explore my leadership ethos and style. Importantly Lucy offered new paths and perspectives along the way. It’s difficult to articulate the depth and impact of my time with Lucy although I can say she was my leadership Anam Cara."
