What We Do

Leadership Development and Coaching 

Let’s inspire and encourage Leaders to be people-centric; to arm them with the skills, knowledge and commitment to be GREAT leaders. People serve as the catalyst for change, and leaders possess the ability to inspire and motivate, leading to increased productivity and engagement, ultimately transforming the workplace into an exceptional environment rather than just a good one. 

The systematic shortfalls we often see for leaders include: 

  • Expectation for leaders to possess all knowledge. 

  • Leaders facing the challenging position of being employees themselves, while also representing the business to other employees. 

  • Lack of support for leaders to develop their understanding of people. 

  • Insufficient skills in navigating interaction, fostering engagement, building commitment, and establishing trust within their teams. 

Why would you do leadership coaching?

An objective coach provides unbiased feedback and guidance and offers a fresh perspective that helps leaders gain new insights and make meaningful progress towards their goals. 

Using proven coaching models, neuroscience and practical frameworks UPPO helps people grow to be more effective leaders. Increasing self-awareness, setting goals and providing guidance can all form part of a coaching programme. Our programmes are personalised, targeted and adaptive based on the changing needs and circumstances. We are all a `work in progress’ - When we create headspace, we can focus on our goals and cultivate accountability, enabling us to take meaningful action necessary to achieve them.
