Leadership Leap Global
Retain and develop your HR executive successors.
Starts Feb 2026
Leap is NOT a leadership programme
Leap is not about teaching you to be a better or different leader.
Leap is not for people who simply want another course on leadership theory or management skills.
Leadership Leap was designed because talented professionals working closely with executive leaders often reach a pivotal point in their career where they begin to ask:
“What’s next for me?”
“Is that next level right for me?”
“Do I really have what it takes?”
These questions aren’t usually about capability — they’re about confidence, belief, and readiness. Even when they do have the skills, there’s often still that quiet voice whispering, “Are you sure?”
What Leap does is work with your most capable emerging leaders to help them:
Discover their innate confidence and clarify their vision for what’s next.
Understand who they are now as leaders and the kind of executive they aspire to be.
Find their authentic executive voice — without needing to change roles first.
Step forward with greater presence, conviction, and impact for the organisation they care deeply about.
Leap doesn’t teach leadership. It awakens it.

This awareness has made me more confident and purposeful in my work, enabling me to step back, think strategically, and lead with greater confidence.

If you’re looking for a leadership programme that goes beyond the ordinary, that challenges you to grow, and that supports you every step of the way, I cannot recommend Leadership LEAP highly enough. It’s the most inspiring thing I’ve done in years.

How it works
Each participant is partnered with a dedicated executive coach
Every leader has their own experienced coach who provides one-to-one support, challenges thinking, tracks progress, and personalises the learning journey to individual goals and context.
Learning is self-guided, applied, and reinforced through live group coaching
Participants complete short weekly video and worksheet modules, then, every 3-weeks they join a live 60-minute group coaching session to reflect, apply insights, and learn from peers.
Progress is measured and sustained through reflection, feedback, and accountability
Participants complete programme quarter reviews, engage their managers for real-world alignment, and track progress at pre, mid and final assessments— ensuring continued progress against both programme success metrics and individual goals.
Programme Outcomes:
Clearer Self-Awareness and Mindset Definition
Participants report identifying the type of executive mindset they want and recognising their own strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots.
Shift from Operational to Strategic Thinking
Participants describe a mental shift from doing to leading, from tasks to systems, from control to empowerment.
Reflection and Self-Regulation
Strong emphasis on reflection, reframing, and inner dialogue awareness — managing self-talk and building emotional resilience.
Confidence and Purpose
From start to end the participant tone shifts from doubt and uncertainty to clarity, belief, and momentum.
“This awareness has made me more confident and purposeful.”

Why is this just for HR successors?
Our cohorts are typically made up of executive successors from across different functions within an organisation, or individuals from a variety of organisations and backgrounds who come together to expand their potential for executive leadership.
What we’ve observed is that HR professionals, by the very nature of their roles, often find it more difficult to experience psychological safety or a sense of shared understanding within these types of mixed cohorts. They are also more likely to be delivering such leadership programmes for others, rather than participating in them themselves.
By offering a dedicated HR-specific cohort, we can create a safe, supportive, and intellectually stimulating environment designed to reflect and honour the unique challenges and opportunities of HR leadership. This ensures participants can engage deeply, grow confidently, and thrive among peers who truly understand their world.
Morwenna Henderson, Talent Acquisition and HR Manager, Syos Aerospace.
The Leadership LEAP programme was truly exceptional in helping me step up and fully embrace my role as an executive leader. It gave me the clarity and courage to own my vision, lead with my values, and make a meaningful impact as a Senior HR leader. The tools and insights helped me move past the things that had been holding me back and empower me to create real, lasting, and impactful change within the business. I’ve come away with a renewed sense of purpose, confidence, and belief in what I’m capable of achieving.
