Transformational Leadership
LifeForward’s ltransformational leadership programmes enable individuals and leadership teams to gain the confidence to lead with authenticity and vision, creating a positive environment in which motivated, high-performance teams will flourish.
E.I. Leadership Development at LifeForward
Our transformational leadership programmes incorporate workshops, executive coaching and Insights Discovery® to help leaders develop their emotional intelligence and leadership capabilities, targeting critical skills and identifying areas for development.
In addition to core competencies such as self-awareness, adaptability and empathy, leaders can identify their critical areas of focus such as strategic planning, business development, eminence building, change management and personal impact to help them manage the transition from management to leadership.
Adapting to change
Leaders today are facing new challenges in a rapidly changing environment. They need to be adaptable and flexible, supporting their teams through times of stress whilst simultaneously creating a vision for the future that embraces the “new normal” and motivates and engages their teams.
Leadership development is a big investment, whether for yourself or for your team. It’s important to work out what you need before signing up to any coaching or development programme. We like to spend time with potential clients undersanding their priorities and objectives for development before we start.
Drop us a line to discuss your own or your organisation’s leadership development needs.

At LifeForward we work with them to identify their own strengths and leadership style which gives them the confidence to lead authentically, aligning personal and business values in a clear vision for the future.
Adaptability is also critical for leaders so that they can apply specific leadership capabilities appropriate to the person, situation or orgnaisaiton they are in.

EI – Emotional Intelligence in Leadership
Successful leaders will need a high degree of emotional intelligence – EI – enabling them to manage themselves and lead others with a positive, supportive approach.
At LifeForward, we start with self-awareness as this is crtitical for personal development. This includes an honest assessment of one’s current position, seeing and accepting the reality.

At LifeForward, our focus on emotional intelligence competencies, such as self-awareness, self-assessment and self-management, gives leaders the skills they need to continue to grow and develop to meet the needs of the changing world around them. We help develop key competencies such as empathy, authenticity, adaptability and initiative.
Transform Your Leadership
Transformational leadership involves shifting perspective, adopting a more intentional and conscious inside-out strategy. Leaders need to know themselves as well as the organisation they lead.
A transformational leader creates the optimal conditions for the greatest potential to unfold out of individuals or a situation.
- Transformational leaders realize that they have to get ahead of the problem mindset.
- They proactively create safe spaces for new ideas and practices to emerge.
- Rather than resist change, they embrace it and motivate others by encouraging them to look beyond themselves to the bigger picture (organisation).
- Far from being static and fixed, a transformational culture constantly evolves based on intuitive thinking, trust and discovery, and operates with a higher level of mindfulness and authenticity.
We have to evolve the way we think about leadership to focus not just on present issues and facts, but also on future potential and emotion. Transformational leadership means integrating rational and emotional forces.
Leadership Development at LifeForward
Develop in a Way that Works for You
We recognise that leaders have many responsibilities and often find it difficult to take time out for personal development. Our programmes are therefore tailored for each client, offering a flexible delivery approach to add maximum value, whether in bite-size short workshops, a programme of one-to-one executive coaching or an offsite training day. We can also blend leadership development with business coaching to build skills as we work on practical and current business challenges.
Transformational Leadership with Insights Discovery®
As licensed practitioners with Insights Discovery®, we work with the Insights Discovery Transformational Leadership model, a personalised leadership profile that gives leaders insights into how they perform across eight essential leadership dimensions.
The leadership model builds on the Insights Discovery personal profile to help leaders to understand how their personal preferences influence their leadership and how they may have a positive or negative impact on those they lead. With a clearer understanding of their personal leadership approach, leaders can learn to flex their leadership style and adapt more effectively across each of the eight areas of leadership.
At LifeForward, we offer leaders the opportunity to explore their Insights Discovery® Transformational Leadership profile within our Leadership Development programmes through executive coaching and as a leadership team.
