We seek out high performance in sport, in business, from individuals and organisations and create change, leadership and team development solutions that work. We describe ourselves as ‘action leaders not thought leaders’ – our value is measured by a shift in performance, not process.
The biggest enabler to success in your organisation? Shifting the mindset, skill and behaviour of the people. Our Team Coaches design and deliver development solutions that impact performance.
We don’t believe off-the-shelf solutions ever sustainably change behaviour. Our approach is to frame our ‘point of view’ on high performance in your organisational context. Coaching for High Performance is our underpinning philosophy.
We’re outcome focused, but don’t ‘stare at the scoreboard’. We’re proud to build great partnerships with you – but we’re not ‘yes men’.
Each of our Team Coaches brings unique experience and perspective to challenge and support through coaching, facilitation, learning, and consulting (often at the same time). Their underpinning aim is to ‘be there for you’.
Time is precious. No-one has time or need for passive, theory-heavy, process defined classroom learning. As an active participant in high performance development, we create experiences which are:
From boardrooms to rugby pitches, from Big Brother camps to filming scenario challenges, from walk and talk coaching sessions to high impact business conferences, from virtual 1:1 coaching to collaborative facilitated meetings, our best work is often measured in ’lightbulb’ moments.
Players learnt a huge amount from the activities, which were all designed to build their awareness and understanding of how each other operates so that they can challenge, support and get the best out of each other on the pitch
My executive coach/mentor (Nigel) has had one of the biggest impacts in my personal and professional life to date and I can’t thank him enough for what he has done for me.
We’ve seen an immediate impact as a result of the programme – from our own perspectives and from the wider business. There’s less silo working, and a sense of alignment to a clear vision and purpose for the team.
As a result of your efforts, we have seen our leaders’ growth and engagement survey score increase, and our matrix and aspiring leaders are understanding what it takes to be a leader at TalkTalk.
We could not have achieved that without you!
I am convinced that Highly Effective Teams has not only driven engagement but also created real leadership alignment in the organisation and enabled people to work more efficiently, absorbing more work with the same level of resource.
One important aspect for Wickes with this programme was to bring together diverse groups from different regions and with varied experience – helped by the current virtual approach, which is going so well.
By partnering with Leading Edge, we were able to leverage their expertise through their Team Coaches, sharing knowledge and exploring tools and resources that would help support our leaders during this time.
The sessions delivered by the Leading Edge Team Coaches around influencing have become legendary within the club!
What made me really proud of this programme was that it wasn’t just theoretical learning – there were pragmatic next steps and things put into practice immediately.
This debriefing and decompression approach to better understanding employee engagement has been embraced within GPN, viewed as new and intriguing and generating senior leadership engagement at a very high level.
Having someone separate from the business to bring a different point of view and identify what to try and focus on has been extremely beneficial. I was sceptical at first but enjoyed the sessions and definitely saw added value.
I feel that my management skills have most certainly improved as a result of the PPP programme.
