Practical & Tailored Leadership Training
We design every leadership training programme around your organisation’s specific needs. Through discovery conversations and pre-training evaluations, we identify your goals—then shape the content accordingly.
We combine relevant models, behavioural science insights, and real-world examples to create a hands-on, engaging experience. Participants explore leadership concepts, practise new approaches, and receive feedback in a supportive environment that links theory directly to their daily challenges
This training is practical and relevant to your organisation. We introduce ideas, research and models based on your needs. We demonstrate the relevance and application through exercises, role play, and discussion of the participants’ situations.
Flexible Virtual Leadership Training
Prefer online delivery? Our virtual leadership training makes development accessible and time-efficient. We break the programme into short, focused sessions (typically 60–90 minutes), using Zoom or your preferred platform.
Each session focuses on a specific area of leadership and includes live discussion, group activities, and reflection. With up to 12 participants per cohort, everyone receives individual attention and real engagement—without screen fatigue
Each session covers a specific area of leadership. Ideas are presented and discussed to explore how they apply. This is very much a workshop style with involvement from participants throughout the programme.
The agenda is based on the ideas below and we develop this to suit your needs. Please contact us to discuss how you would like these sessions to be designed and delivered.
Client Case Studies
Typical challenges of participants on our leadership training
Participants often bring questions like:
- “How can I motivate my team more effectively?”
- “What’s the difference between leading and managing—and how do I bridge the gap?”
- “How do leadership strategies apply at my level?”
- “Is my directive approach working—or is there a better way?”
- “What kind of leader do I want to be, and how do I get there?”
We work with these scenarios directly during the training—ensuring leaders leave with tools they can apply immediately.
What does leadership actually training do?
Our training helps participants pause, reflect, and reframe their approach. It empowers them to lead teams and projects with confidence, not just manage tasks. With renewed clarity and practical strategies, they build influence, improve communication, and strengthen their impact across the organisation.
Reviews
A truly inclusive, insightful, and empowering training
I recently attended the Working Effectively at Clifford Chance training session and found it to be an incredibly valuable and uplifting experience. One of the standout aspects was the smaller group size, which created a more inclusive environment. Everyone had the opportunity to feel seen, heard, and genuinely included in the discussions.
The session encouraged open dialogue, and participants were free to express their views and share personal experiences without hesitation. This openness was largely thanks to Martin, who facilitated the session with warmth, empathy, and professionalism. Martin fostered a safe and supportive space where people felt comfortable being honest and reflective, which made the session not only informative but also deeply engaging.
Overall, the training was a brilliant example of how thoughtful facilitation and a well-structured format can empower individuals to connect, learn, and grow together. Highly recommended!
Five-star training!
I attended Martin’s session on working effectively in the workplace and you can tell he genuinely cares about the people he is training- he was very interactive throughout, delivered super helpful takeaways (especially relevant in professional settings) and also extended candid advice on how to keep up with an incredibly fast-paced and often times challenging career environment. I highly, highly recommend Martin’s sessions if you have the opportunity to attend them, I am confident you will leave the room with more wisdom.
Bespoke Soft Skills Training for Shipboard Leadership
The Bespoke Soft Skills Training for Shipboard Leadership was very well received. Participants found the sessions engaging, practical, and highly beneficial, with appreciation expressed for the instructor’s time, travel, and expertise.
The interactive discussions and exercises were effective in applying leadership and communication concepts to real shipboard situations. Several attendees noted they could use the material to address challenges with difficult crew members.
Overall, this training was viewed as excellent, relevant, and valuable in enhancing leadership effectiveness and promoting stronger communication across the fleet.
Presenting with Impact Virtually
I recently attended the “Presenting with Impact Virtually” training workshop led by Martin Chapman, and it was a thoroughly engaging and practical experience. Martin’s delivery was professional yet friendly, making the virtual format feel interactive and enjoyable. The session was well-structured, with clear slides and practical examples. I highly recommend his training services for anyone looking to improve their presentation skills in a virtual setting.
Comprehensive and Engaging Training
I recently attended Martin’s ‘Working Effectively’ and ‘Professional Business Communication’ online training sessions and both were excellent. Martin is very engaging and ensures that participants all contribute to discussion. The sessions were very useful, drawing on real anecdotes and scenarios relevant to our level of work. I found both training sessions impactful and will carry the lessons learned into my work. Thanks Martin!
