This is our specialty! Kathryn will assist you in crafting a tailored leadership development strategy that caters to the unique needs of your organisation. We will first meet with you to understand your company's goals, culture, and existing leadership dynamics. This will identify your gaps and needs and that of the organisation. Together, we will then do further assessments as required using tools such as 360 feedback reports and personality profiling. A key element of the strategy will involve identification of your high potential team members and the creation of succession plans. Other elements may include the roll-out of a coaching culture, custom workshops and other leadership development initiatives. This collaborative effort ensures you receive the best return on investment for your leadership development spend, driving ongoing success and sustainability for your business.

Yes! With bells on! Kathryn has experienced a lot of office politics, and (painful!) power play over her many senior leadership roles across various industries - including insurance, higher education and not-for-profits. She understands first hand just how frustrating and difficult they can be to navigate, especially if you are neurodivergent. Kathryn has ADHD herself, so has development many strategies and accommodations that have helped herself and hundreds of other clients in leadership.

At Release Leadership, our approach is meticulously structured to ensure that you and your business achieve optimal growth. Here are the 4 key steps we will take: 1. Initial Assessment: We start with a comprehensive evaluation of your business goals, current leadership style, and organisational structure . This helps us understand your unique challenges and opportunities. 2. Goal Setting: We'll work with you to set clear, actionable goals that align with your business vision. These goals will serve as benchmarks for measuring your progress. Examples of areas of focus include strategic planning, marketing, cashflow, team management, and leadership effectiveness. 3. Implementation Support: We continuously monitor your progress against the set goals to help you stay on track and build your business. We provide ongoing support as you implement new strategies and learn new behaviours in your business. This could involve on-site visits, regular check-ins, and feedback sessions. 4. Sustainability Planning: Finally, we help you develop a long-term strategy to sustain the improvements and business growth. This includes creating a culture of customer support, and continuous learning and development within your organisation. By following these steps, Release Leadership ensures that you not only grow your business but stay in it for the long haul until you are ready to sell or retire!
