“ The idea of transpersonal leadership with its heart in the notions of humility, learning, and caring has never had more relevance in helping leaders get the best out of themselves, their people and their organisations. ”
Peter Cheese – CEO, Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD), UK
The world is at a tipping point. It is changing faster and more unpredictably, with society, technology and the climate evolving at unprecedented levels.
Successful leaders recognise that leadership has moved on from being authoritative, hierarchical and pace-setting towards more distributed leadership, underpinned by an ethical, caring, sustainable and performance-enhancing culture.
Transpersonal Leaders are emotionally intelligent and lead beyond their ego, enabling them to embrace, communicate and put these characteristics into action.

Intermediate Journey
Emotionally Intelligent Leadership
Suitable for executives wishing to improve their leadership competence. The journey consists of six remote three-hour cohort video-conference sessions, together with one individual two-hour LEIPA2 feedback session.
Advanced Journey
Beyond the Ego Leadership
The follow-on advanced journey consists of six remote three-hour cohort video-conference sessions. It is particularly suitable for CEOs, executives newly promoted to senior positions and high-potential executives being developed for senior roles.
How the learning works
Between the remote video-conference sessions, participants complete bite-sized online learning, selected book1 chapters, confidential self-assessments, performance accelerator tools and questionnaires. Each cohort member also receives appropriate levels of one-to-one coaching, providing space for confidential conversations.
Cohort video-conference sessions are organised around three areas:
1. Discuss and reflect on workplace practice and learning put into action since the previous session.
2. Review learning from the online exercises, explore how it applies to the individual, team and workplace, and identify actions to take forward.
3. Explore specific individual or team challenges through action learning and cohort coaching.
