We started Strategic Exec Lead because too many leadership programmes feel generic. A two-day offsite with motivational slides does not change behaviour back in the office. We wanted something different.
Our facilitators have held senior operational roles in finance, technology, healthcare, and manufacturing. They have managed P&Ls, restructured teams, and navigated board-level politics. That lived experience shapes every session we deliver.
Each programme runs over 8 to 12 weeks, with weekly 90-minute sessions and structured assignments between meetings. Participants work on real challenges from their own organisations, not hypothetical case studies. By the end, they leave with a personal leadership playbook they can use immediately.
We are based in Northern Ireland and deliver programmes across the United Kingdom, both in person and through live virtual cohorts of no more than eight participants.
A 12-week cohort programme for directors and senior managers. You will develop a strategic plan for your business unit, receive peer feedback from other leaders, and present your plan to our panel of experienced advisors. Sessions run weekly on Tuesday mornings.
Private one-on-one coaching for CEOs, CFOs, and COOs. Six fortnightly sessions of two hours each, focused on the specific challenges you face right now. We start with a 360-degree feedback assessment and build from there. Everything discussed stays confidential.
We observe two of your board meetings, interview each board member individually, and produce a detailed report with specific recommendations. The review takes four to six weeks. Most clients see measurable improvements in meeting productivity within two months.
A single-day intensive for leadership teams of four to ten people. We teach structured decision frameworks, run live simulations with time pressure, and debrief each exercise. Your team leaves with a shared decision-making language they can apply from Monday morning.
For leaders stepping into a new role, whether that is an internal promotion or joining a new organisation. We provide eight weeks of structured onboarding support, including stakeholder mapping, first-100-days planning, and weekly check-in calls.
When a senior team is not pulling in the same direction, performance suffers. We run a two-day facilitated alignment session that surfaces disagreements, clarifies priorities, and produces a shared action plan. We follow up at 30 and 60 days to check progress.
A 30-minute phone conversation where we learn about your organisation, your leadership challenges, and what success looks like for you. No charge, no obligation.
We gather data through interviews, surveys, or 360-degree feedback tools. This gives us a clear picture of where you are now and where the gaps sit.
We build a programme around your specific context. Content, timing, and format are all tailored. You review and approve the plan before we begin.
We deliver the programme and track progress against agreed metrics. After the final session, you receive a written summary with recommendations for continued development.
"I have done leadership courses before. This was the first time I actually changed how I run my team. The 360 feedback was uncomfortable but necessary, and the coaching helped me act on it."Sarah M., Operations Director
"The board effectiveness review was thorough and honest. Some of the findings were hard to hear, but the recommendations were practical. Our board meetings now finish on time and produce actual decisions."James K., Non-Executive Director
Pricing depends on the programme type, number of participants, and duration. A single-day workshop for a team of six typically starts at £3,500. The 12-week strategic leadership programme is £6,800 per participant. We provide a detailed quote after the discovery call.
Yes. We deliver in-person across the United Kingdom and run live virtual cohorts for clients anywhere. About 40% of our current clients are based in England and Scotland. Virtual sessions use the same structure and materials as in-person delivery.
Most of our clients have between 50 and 5,000 employees. We have worked with smaller firms where the founder is stepping into a CEO role for the first time, and with divisions of larger corporations. The common thread is leaders who want honest, practical development rather than theory.
The strategic leadership programme and C-suite coaching are open to individuals. Workshops and alignment sessions are designed for intact teams. If you are an individual leader looking for development, the cohort programme or private coaching are the best fit.
Every participant receives a written development summary and access to our alumni network. We offer optional follow-up coaching sessions at a reduced rate. Many clients return for a refresher or a different programme 12 to 18 months later.
