Who Should Apply

✔ I line manage others within my organisation

✔ I've recently been promoted, or started a new job at a higher seniority level

The Syllabus

You’ll be spending six weeks with Team I.G. and an intimate cohort of like-minded leaders as we cover the following core areas. In addition to the below, there will be a weekly (1hr) Action Learning Set where you’ll get support to navigate a professional / organisational challenge, and a private Leadership Lab online group for peer support, connections and community.

  • Week 1: Defining Your Why

    We’ll host a Lab Launch, articulate our goals for the programme and explore our personal theories of change for our careers.

  • Week 2: Operations Leadership

    We’ll dive into the practical stuff - financial literacy, strategic thinking and decision-making. This is open to all levels of understanding and experience (we promise it won’t be too basic or too inaccessible).

  • Week 3: People Leadership

    We’ll dive into line management, influencing in all directions, navigating hard conversations and Dreaded Drama Triangles (hint: they’re everywhere).

  • Week 4: Self Leadership

    We’ll explore strengths-based leadership, models to articulate your Zone of Genius, time management & efficiency, and wellbeing & burnout.

  • Week 5: Personal Branding

    Yep, you read that correctly. Like it or not, personal branding is part of leadership, so we’re here to help you create a LinkedIn profile, headshot and pitch that is a match to your highest self (and doesn’t make you cringe).

  • Week 6: Bringing It Together

    In our final session together, we’ll take stock of everything we’ve learned, share our progress towards our personal and organisational goals, and (re)introduce ourselves as the new leaders we’ve become.

  • "I don’t even have to go to therapy anymore. It was just like they solved all my problems.”

    - Lab Participant, Cohort 1

  • “I never came away from a session and felt, ‘Oh, ditching the meeting I had in the same slot wasn’t worth it’. It was always worth it.”

    - Lab Participant, Cohort 1

  • “I came seeking answers and came away with those, as well as a community and renewed sense of confidence in my leadership. I am deeply appreciative of the respect and acknowledgement that ran through the course.”

    - Lab Participant, Cohort 1

  • "I loved every session and workshop."
