Leadership &
Professional development

Potential turns into progress and performance
In today’s demanding business environment and transformational climate, reframing people’s continual development while making sustainable investments in it has become a pillar for progress and performance.
Whether you are the HR, Learning & Development, or the business leader, driven by the return on investment of learning, you analyze the opportunities you can embrace to provide more than training – you want to reshape your organizational capabilities. Cultivating managers’ interest to coach their people, matching learning options to learning needs, and developing short-shelf and longer-shelf competencies make your lineup: they must be durable, transferable, and relevant for both the people and the organization.
Leadership and professional development programs matter at all levels. Their purpose is to bring competencies, learning, and career together, whether people focus on leadership or expanding and strengthening their expert capabilities. At the organization level, engagement, alignment, and effectiveness increase. Business-wise, the results improve. Talent remains and makes more active, strategic, and longer-term contributions to the organization.
What we do: Elevating potential
Leadership and professional development advance with learning.
Through our leadership and professional development programs, you see what progress and performance look like in your leaders, professionals, and organization. People learn, apply the knowledge to their situations, receive feedback, and refine their progress and performance. They elevate their potential and, consequently, the organization’s potential.

How we help
Our leadership and professional development programs consist of tailor-made learning experiences for people at all levels, senior leaders and executives, emerging leaders, mid-level or first-time managers.
We ground every program in our hands-on experience and research-based insights. We tailor it to your needs and unique context to enable you to develop your people from one individual to many across all levels and create an organization ready to progress and perform. We help you define, design, refine, and provide tailor-made programs and scalable solutions by ensuring they build on one another, creating a consistent approach across your talent and organization, and balancing learners’ and business needs.
We connect leadership and professional development programs with business results
By knowing the competencies and mindset people need to progress and perform, we work with you on developing what you need to contribute to the organization’s strategy execution and business results.
We support people to learn at the appropriate time
People learn best when they have to learn. In our experience, most people value learning on the job, in ways that are directly relevant to their work, and at a time when learning has an immediate impact on their work. This helps them ensure that they apply the knowledge and competencies they cultivate and their learning is meaningful.
We support people to learn and remember what they have learned
Research shows that if new information isn’t applied, people forget about 75% of it after just six days (“the forgetting curve”). We support people assimilating knowledge into their work during our programs – based on a personalized, interactive, and contextualized approach.
What to expect
Our approach to leadership and professional development programs is based on
tailor-made solutions and a contextualized way of working.

Involve the management in the follow-up as a key element of success.
You will experience a systemic and structured approach to leadership and professional development with a tailor-made plan for you. Information and guidance come first, but then learners are invited to put what’s been learned into practice. Then, the learners are invited to reflect on how things went, what they learned, and what questions they have. The learning experience is energizing and provides an open and safe climate for learners to share their work and ask for feedback.
We integrate information and guidance with the application, reflection, and feedback from the initial interaction, through engagement, to follow-up and support to ensure the long-term impact is felt and measured by the people and within the organization.
We partner with forward-thinking and conscious leaders and organizations
We have developed strategic and long-term partnerships with national and multinational forward-thinking companies in Automotive, Manufacturing & Materials, Retail & FMCG, IT/Technology, Healthcare, and Utilities/Public services.
We work together with them to ensure that their leadership and professional development programs turn people and organization’s potential into progress and performance. By making sure they invest in leadership and professional development, we contribute to a positive impact on organizational development and performance as a return for both individuals and businesses.
