Collaborative Leadership Programme
This programme brings together leading edge organisational and psychological thinking with practical lived experience. It enables your organisation to develop well rounded, highly skilled leaders who know how to collaborate effectively, inspire teams and deliver results.
It can be delivered online or face to face and consists of a combination of group sessions and one to one coaching.
The role of today’s leader is multi-dimensional and hugely complex and the focus will be on developing leaders in three keys areas:
Awareness
The ability to assess situations, behaviours and problems quickly and accurately, to go beyond presenting problems to get to the root of an issue and remove it in the shortest amount of time.
Communication skills
To have the widest range of choices of communication available to them, to unpack problems, find solutions and move forward with the greatest impact in the minimum amount of time.
Personal development
To become well rounded, unflappable and resilient human beings that can take difficulties and pressure in their stride, cut through the noise and focus on what needs to be done.
This programme will enable leaders to super charge their communication skills, awareness and flexibility. This will support them to deliver with maximum effectiveness and productivity and minimum distractions and stress.
Mastering Leadership Programme
This programme is for those who have either completed the Collaborative Leadership Programme or are very experienced leaders looking to develop their strategic thinking, achieve mastery in group work of all kinds (facilitating meetings, presenting, leading strategy discussions) and building a healthy and productive workplace.
The programme will deepen and broaden leaders’ skills and personal development by developing their critical and strategic thinking and advancing their communication and impact as a leader.
Centred around working in real situations and issues leaders are facing in their work, the group sessions on the programme will enable leaders to:
Encourage diversity of thinking
They will learn tools and models for developing critical thinking for themselves and others, further build on their own strategic skills and learn how to facilitate multi-level perspectives with their teams and peers.
Communicate flexibly, clearly and congruently
Taking their communication abilities to the next level, leaders will learn how to present information to appeal to people with a breadth of style preferences and at different stages of their own development, be clear whilst still being kind and communicate with confidence in difficult discussions.
Build an environment which supports psychological safety
Learn how to foster and facilitate a safe and productive environment, develop group norms and spot the signs of an unhealthy environment developing.
Coaching on our programmes
Coaching sessions will be held throughout our leadership programmes and will focus on:
- Enabling leaders to become highly self-aware
- Realigning blocks to their success and effectiveness
- Learning how to deepen the material taught on the group sessions and tailor it to their environment
- Strengthening their emotional regulation

From a senior management point of view, we noticed the difference in how the management teams became more proactive, recognising that if something was not working they could do something about it and gaining the self-confidence to act after the training with John and Karen. The process of working with the teams as a group meant they supported each other and this support has continued on into the workplace. The cost to the charity was a gamble, as funding has been cut, but the positive results have meant the gamble has more than paid off.
I knew I needed someone who I could trust and having worked with Monkey Puzzle previously at Thomson Reuters and other organisations, they were my immediate choice. The Monkey Puzzle team has an amazing ability to use leading edge theories and models in a totally practical way. We actually got things done as an SLT whilst focusing on our leadership development at the same time
