The Connected Leader©

As a leader, you’re ambitious, effective and tenacious. With everything you do, you have an impact. How do you make sure that you continue to have the impact, and the success, you are capable of?

Join our Connected Leader© programme, and you’ll spend valuable time focussing on yourself, your leadership and your future.

Using all the knowledge of leadership in theory and practice that we, Susan Carroll and Greg Falvey have gained in our own CEO-level careers, we’ve designed a comprehensive programme for ambitious leaders who want to increase their impact and future-proof their leadership.

What is a Connected Leader©?

Successful leadership relies on connectedness. How do you become and stay connected to your vision and purpose? To your people and clients? To innovation and results? As a leader, you must invest energy and time into all these areas. Each of them is connected to all of the others: they are the parts that form a whole leadership.

Maintaining these connections is challenging. But becoming a Connected Leader© means being an authentic and thriving leader. Without connectedness, leadership falters.

Connected leaders challenge themselves as well as others. They have a clear vision that includes and develops those around them. They understand that achieving their leadership goals depends not only on their internal desires, but on their connections with people and ideas.

What happens on the Connected Leader© programme?

It is a four-module programme run over the course of 5 months. Each module includes a day of practical exercises, theory, discussion and self-reflection.

You will receive an individual interview before the first module, in which we will talk about where you are now, where you want to be, and set outcomes for the programme. There will also be work for you to do between modules, and you will have access to a dedicated online resource.
