Our practical and inspirational leadership development programmes are focused on the heart of leadership, developing the desire and skills to bring out the best in others and mobilize them to excel.
Our area of speciality is equipping first line and future leaders to effectively transition some of the most challenging turns in the leadership pipeline while providing their immediate leaders with the knowledge and skills to support their learning and growth.
Amongst our facilitators and consultants, we have accredited coaches who can complement the group learning with individual coaching for an integrated approach to learning. This is merely one of the ways that we can turn any leadership development journey into a blended one.

A transformational blended learning journey for first-line leaders and those earmarked for leadership roles. Changing behaviour is a process, not a once-off occurrence. Our learning approach is therefore staggered and blended, combining face-to-face training with 180 degrees feedback, practical assignments, interactive coaching circles, buddy coaching and management support.
Outcomes:
Target Group: Team leaders, Supervisors and Junior Managers. Different versions for different levels.
A comprehensive, industry-specific, blended learning journey for supervisors. As the vital link between management goals and execution, first-line leaders need the knowledge and skills to align their team’s efforts with the organisation’s goals and values and create a work environment in which employees are committed, feel pride and take ownership. It is also at entry-level that it’s vital to manage service, cost and quality. If first-line leaders don’t have the ability to do this effectively, their managers need to manage both roles, which undermines the first-line leader’s credibility. It is no wonder that many first-line leaders underperform and fall short of realising their leadership potential.
First-line leadership training is a valuable tool to help people master the basics of management. SCORE! takes the development of first-line leaders a few steps further by also focusing on the internal and value shifts required to achieve results through others.
Outcomes:
Target Group: Supervisors
Women have as much potential as men. However, in most organisations, high-potential women commonly progress into first-line leadership positions before getting ‘stuck’ there. This results in a lack of gender diversity at senior leadership and decision-making levels. The accelerated development of women, therefore, becomes critical for organisations who realise the untapped potential of half their workforce and want to challenge the status quo.
A step-by-step journey that translates potential into performance by building the mindsets and skillsets of women in first-line leader roles and those identified as future leaders. An important and unique part of the Shine! journey is the active involvement and development of their direct leaders through a different, parallel growth journey.
Outcomes:
A customised accelerated development blended learning programme for millennial leaders. This programme goes beyond traditional leadership development programmes by placing a particular focus on strengthening the underpinning personal and interpersonal qualities and skills required for people-centred leadership. It enables young leaders to be more successful in their first leadership role and derive greater meaning from their work.
