Attending the management training course is the easy part. During or just after the course we reflect on all the things we have learned, maybe get a little excited about the prospect of the positive changes we can make. However, inevitably the day job takes over and we sometimes lose sight of these learnings and struggle with putting them into place.
The LEAP Into Leadership Programme is a 1:1 management training mentoring scheme designed to embed management training through coaching and actionable insights. The mentoring program features monthly sessions that keep managers focused, accountable, and engaged in their leadership development. These sessions encourage ownership and proactive leadership while providing structured opportunities for self-reflection, lessons learned, and valuable mentor feedback.
Managers receive practical tasks and tailored recommendations to implement with their teams, ensuring real-world application of key management principles. Additionally, they are supported in sharing knowledge through mini workshops, fostering a culture of continuous learning and collaboration across the organisation.
“The training was extremely valuable, however, putting into practice the skills and techniques learned has been a gradual process for me. The follow on 1:1 coaching sessions with Nicki help to embed this training and give me the opportunity to reflect on what I have learnt and go back over any points I was unsure of in a 1:1 environment. There have also been specific scenarios that I have been able to discuss with Nicki in a timely manner to ensure that I approach them in the appropriate way. I love Nicki’s approach and never feel that I’m being criticised by her when she offers alternative suggestions to how I was planning to approach something. I’m so grateful to have these follow-on sessions rather than be left to just get on with it.”
