"You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself."

Our focus is on facilitating and enabling individuals and teams to develop as leaders and effective team members at the sharp end of business and organisational performance through experiential learning. By designing and delivering customised leadership and team development programmes, providing a range of open leadership training and development programmes and individual 1 -2-1 coaching, our objective is to provide practical, high impact and transferrable learning interventions. We operate both in the UK and internationally across the full spectrum of private, public, educational and voluntary sectors from board level, through senior and middle-management, to the development of emerging leaders, with the aim of providing an on-going, supportive partnership for our client organisations.

Only by working in partnership can we succeed in our mission to deliver practical action-based learning that supports the development of effective leaders and high performing teams at a global level.

In his most recent and seminal reference book; 'The Theory and Practice of Leadership', Roger Gill reminds all training organisations engaged in leadership development that this should be "less of an event and more of a continuous process." LtEI believe that, unless we enable participants to harness and retain the personal learning gained from our courses and help them to transfer it back into the workplace, even the best of training courses change nothing; but merely instil the same sentiments as 'the best vacation I ever had', my 'finest meal', 'best film' and 'favourite musical download', etc. We work closely with our client companies to engage and inspire their people towards personally committing to an innovative leadership and personal development programme and ensure that they have the right environment and support on their return to the workplace to apply their key learning points.

As Nikos Mourkogiannis writes in 'Purpose – The Starting Point of Great Companies.'

"Leadership is the ultimate advantage. When good leadership is present, it makes all other advantages possible. And poor leadership can turn even the best advantage to disaster."

There is ample research to show that with appropriate and relevant training and development content and methodology, managers can 'learn to lead'. At whatever stage we are in our development, our best years should always lie before us … The Italians put it best when they say … "Non emi troppo tardi." (It is never too late to learn.)

Our Open Programmes are pre-scheduled for 2013 and can be viewed on our Courses Calendar. Additional 'Open Programmes' can be added for single organisations and single groups of up to eight participants are able to attend one of our existing Open Programme as a single group.

Our Open and Customised Programmes are delivered on location all over the world and, subject to reasonable notice, at times best suited to our clients.
