John Smith Trust Competitors

Leadership Trust develops leaders who don't just know what good leadership looks like — they lead differently. For 50 years, we have helped more than 80,000 leaders understand how they are actually experienced by the people around them, recognise the behaviours that limit their impact, and make lasting changes to how they lead. Our approach combines behavioural psychology, immersive residential development, real-world challenge, honest peer feedback and coaching. The focus is not simply on transferring leadership knowledge, but on changing leadership behaviour — so the difference is felt back at work. We work with: • Emerging and first-time leaders • Established and experienced leaders • Senior leadership teams • Organisations developing leadership capability at scale Our leadership development programmes include: • Leadership in Management • Emerging Leader Development • Executive and Senior Leadership Development • Bespoke Leadership Programmes • Leadership Coaching • Team and Organisational Development Our work focuses on the issues leaders face when leadership really matters: making better decisions, communicating under pressure, building trust, holding people to account, handling difficult conversations, developing others and bringing people with them through change. Over five decades, leaders from organisations across sectors have experienced the Leadership Trust approach. The question we ask isn't simply: "What did you learn?" It's: "What will you do differently when you get back to work?" Leadership Trust — changing how leaders lead.

We provide a unique and appreciative approach to leadership coaching and team development. Our aim is to to discover, develop, and deliver the leaders of tomorrow. We develop leadership strengths and provide measurable results through positive and long term relationships with our clients. We achieve this through helping people and International Organisations realise their potential by capturing their 'moments of success' and 'the best of what they do' and transferring these into future outcomes and results. We design and deliver Future Leaders programmes which include Development Centres, Workshops and Retreats. Our Coaching For Performance programmes make use of the environment to provide our coachees with a different experience, using space and location to reinforce their learning. A coaching session in a museum, art gallery or exhibition closely themed to the coaching objective provides a memorable and powerful development opportunity. We work with organisations and clients in the UK, Europe and the Middle East.

We do not offer 'off the shelf' solutions to complex challenges. We do like to partner with our clients in identifying solutions because together we might find better solutions. We welcome partnering with other providers if that is helpful to you. We are committed to our own continuing professional development by evidence of the personal financial investment we make each year, and the personal development records of each of the team. If you ask us to help and we don't have the experience, we will tell you. We will also tell you if we feel that your ideas may not completely provide you with the result you are looking for. Our team consists of highly experienced people all of whom have had experience of working in major commercial organisations. We have the business as well as learning and development experience. We work in the USA, Europe, Africa and South East Asia. Above all we are totally committed to developing talent. To find out more about the team click on their links in the sidebar. Matthew is one of our leading faculty for both custom and open enrolment programmes globally. He is both a great guide and a generous facilitator. His openness enables him to reach out and connect to all manner of people, whether they be a senior VP of a telecoms company in Egypt, or a CEO of a major shipping company in Oslo. He marries an extensive experience in developing leadership skills with a deep understanding of global business. I highly recommend Matthew.
