Personal Leadership
As well as the personal benefits, there are significant business benefits to be realised for companies in actively engaging and boosting the wellbeing of their people.
Extensive research from the London School of Economics (LSE) provides very strong evidence that a commitment to employee wellbeing leads to significant shifts in performance in the four key areas of customer satisfaction, employee productivity, profitability and a reduction in staff turnover.
Gallup’s global 2016 ‘Q12’ survey research shows that, compared with businesses in the lowest quartile, companies in the top quartile of employee engagement realise substantially better outcomes, including:
-
41% lower absenteeism
-
24%-59% less staff turnover
-
70% fewer safety incidents
-
40% fewer defects
-
10% higher customer ratings
-
17% higher productivity
-
20% higher sales
-
21% higher profitability.
Yet, according to Gallup’s 2017 ‘State of the Global Workplace’ report, just 11% of employees are engaged in the average UK company.
As our work and home lives merge more and more with the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, employee engagement and wellbeing have become much more prominent topics. Many studies also show a decline in our wellbeing over this period, from worsening mental health to increased anxiety and lack of sleep.
Companies that support their people to turn up each day at their best, connected to their role, feeling valued and tuned to their purpose, are companies that thrive.
So how can we help you?
As an exploration of our personal lives with a view to helping us thrive, the Personal Leadership programme is a great vehicle for supporting individual wellbeing.
Being our best is largely mindset; a commitment to, and a belief in being, our best. As humans, we operate at our best when our whole being is in harmony – our ambitions, thoughts, deeds and relationships. However, most of us do not intentionally cultivate our personal leadership skills and so, compared to what we are fully able to achieve, we unwittingly fail to unleash our full potential.
By bringing out our best and helping us make powerful choices, great leadership helps us to be more focused, more productive and most importantly, more fulfilled. It creates a sense of achievement that fills our lives with greater purpose, clarity and intentional joy!
Great self-leadership emerges when you:
-
Love, know and trust yourself
-
Create a personal vision
-
Believe in yourself to achieve that vision.
Personal Leadership is a coached programme which explores numerous insights to many aspects of your life and provides lots of useful tools to help you boost your impact, fulfilment and achievements. The course provides a framework to allow you to review your life as it is, then begin to transform it to how you wish it to be. This includes your personal:
-
Energy
-
Life balance
-
Purpose
-
Values
-
Vision
-
Roles
-
Relationships
-
Strengths.
The programme comprises online modules to facilitate your discovery, before each module concludes with a 30-minute personal coaching session. Coaching will deepen your learning and challenge you to push further and think bigger, helping you make the changes and build the habits which lead to the realisation of your intended outcomes. The programme culminates in you producing a roadmap with clear actions to take your life forward as you want it to be.
At a corporate level, developing a programme that includes multiple employees completing the course simultaneously can further boost wellbeing, performance and engagement across teams and across your organisation. This will help you realise significant cost savings and increased profitability.
Personal Leadership includes 10 x 30-minute coaching sessions and runs across approximately 16 weeks.
Deloitte reported that the cost of poor mental health to UK employers rose by 16% between 2016 and 2020. They have also found that employers will see a 5:1 return on investment in mental health interventions, which could rise to 8:1 with early-stage interventions.
Personal Leadership's coaching format provides you with a bespoke programme that will help you explore your life as it is, then begin to transform it to how you wish it to be. Whether you are seeking a personal course or a corporate programme, we can support you.

“Both personally and professionally,
the Personal Leadership course challenged me in a way that helped me discover a whole new dimension of my capabilities.”
“Both personally and professionally, the Personal Leadership course challenged me in a way that helped me discover a whole new dimension of my capabilities. Not only is the course professional and insightful, it is also fully thought through in the smallest details to ensure it maximises the positive impact it will have on the participant.
I have done other courses in the past, but I find the Personal Leadership course to be the most ‘human’. It is the only one I have encountered that makes the participant feel like a friend is giving them great advice, rather than merely providing standardised theory and methods on personal development.”

“Since finishing the programme, I am continuously using and referring back to my notes to drive my approach and I am confident my own productivity, and that of my team, has significantly improved on the strength of my learnings.”
“Every good leader needs to take time to reflect and the Personal Leadership course gave me that opportunity. I have read many books on how to be a great leader to teach, inspire and coach others, but the main difference with this course was that it encouraged me to look at myself.
The Personal Leadership course was structured to encourage me to develop my own vision, take ownership of it and, through a series of application-based exercises, help me design a roadmap to achieve it. For me personally, the habit forming energiser was particularly interesting and has shown me how to watch out for alarms that affect my productivity and techniques to address them.
Since finishing the programme, I am continuously using and referring back to my notes to drive my approach and I am confident my own productivity, and that of my team, has significantly improved on the strength of my learnings.
I just wanted to say ‘Thank you’ for the new thinking that the Personal Leadership course has given me.”

"I have learned to relax more and make myself happy, as well as everyone else. Now I am in a really good place and feeling a lot more in control of everything."
“I loved the course and the journey it took me on, it’s been fantastic.
Work and home life are so busy. Whereas I normally rush around in my own little bubble, the Personal Leadership programme made me stop and look at these things properly.
Doing the exercises made me more aware and encouraged me to make little changes. Without noticing it, it has changed a lot of things for me. I have learned to relax more and make myself happy, as well as everyone else. Now I am in a really good place and feeling a lot more in control of everything.”

Identifying the key blockers to excelling in my performance, I believe, has been a game changer for me. I now believe that I can wholly achieve my goals in my new role and my original goal."
