How we do it

Our approach to leadership, management and organisational development begins with building our relationship with our clients as a partner. Contracting our working together is a fundamental first stage to helping and we vow to bring all our skills, awareness, and experience to be as useful as possible. Understanding our clients' unique context, history and aspirations are fundamental to us; primarily we listen, and we observe.

We work to craft developmental solutions alongside those we are contracted to help, in ways that are innovative, creative, and effective. Our preferred approach is to co-produce over a cycle of exploration, sense-making, theorising, action, and reflection. We develop our open programmes through a process of engagement and research to ensure they are genuinely relevant and helpful.

Evaluation of the individual and organisational benefit of our work is core to every project we engage with. Our practice is supported by a highly-skilled research team and we utilise quantitative and qualitative methodologies to discern and learn from the impact of the interventions we make.

Grounded in methodologies of self-managed and experiential learning, we absolutely recognise the value of expert input and tailored and relevant content in our programmes. Working with a breadth of techniques and practices we offer a truly blended approach to learning and development.

During the three sessions of coaching with Toby Lindsay, I was able to better identify personal and professional goals and priorities. As a result of the coaching with Toby, I have improved my performance and realise more of my potential. It has been a pleasure to be coached by Toby and I can recommend him to anyone who is looking for professional coaching.

Toby is an expert facilitator and coach. He worked with the Trust's "Leading the Way" programme and facilitated Action Learning Sets for several small groups of senior managers and clinicians between February 2015 and June 2016. I have participated in Action Learning Sets previously (on other programmes) but I found Toby's approach and facilitation to be of greater value in securing a deeper level of self-awareness and also in securing honest and open dialogues between all present in the set. I would heartily recommend Toby to anyone.

I had three very insightful and productive coaching sessions with Toby. I was able to speak openly about current working issues at ease and felt at the end of the coaching session I had developed a plan to take forward. From the coaching experience, it has enabled me subconsciously to use similar coaching methods when speaking to others about their issues.
