Leading with Awareness

Leadership development across the business, grounded in Hogan insight, so leaders at every level understand what drives their decisions and how they come across to others.

Talent and intelligence are not enough. The leaders who thrive are the ones who understand themselves, and the people around them.

Leading with Awareness is a practical, human approach to leadership, behaviour and lasting change. It helps leaders see what drives their decisions, how they come across and what happens under pressure, then gives them the tools to choose a better response.

Up to a certain point, being the brightest and most capable person in the room gets you promoted. At senior level, success depends on what you achieve through others.

The ability to change

It all begins with self-awareness. From there, leaders build the skills to manage themselves, read others and build relationships that work.

Self-awareness

“I recognise my needs, my state of mind, what motivates me and my key personality traits.”

Self-management

“I can notice and choose my response to suit the situation.”

Interpersonal awareness

“I notice the needs, wants and personality traits of other people.”

Relationship management

“I create authentic and effective connections with others.”

What programmes can include

Experiential, practical and grounded in evidence, drawn from a large library of content and tailored to each group.

Hogan insight

What drives each leader, how they impact others, and what shifts when the pressure is on.

Drivers and habits

The habitual drivers, such as Hurry Up or Be Perfect, that shape how leaders work, and what they cost.

Beliefs and assumptions

How we delete, distort and generalise, and why we so easily believe our own thoughts.

Leading under pressure

Why we react before we think, and practical ways to change our state rather than argue with our thoughts.

Micro-behaviours

The small signals, a tone, a pause, a reply sent at speed, that carry the message whatever we meant.

Team alignment

Turning shared values into what people actually say and do on an ordinary day.

MIND AND BRAIN

Under pressure, our reactions are chemical before they are rational. Understanding a little of how the brain works helps leaders recognise the moment they are hijacked, and what to do about it.

Executive coaching

One-to-one coaching for senior leaders who want to make a real shift. Hogan is almost always where my coaching begins. Rather than spending months uncovering patterns, we start with a clear, objective picture of what drives a leader, how they come across and what happens under pressure.

That makes every session more focused, and the progress faster and more lasting.
