Our Programmes for Leaders

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE……AND TRANSFORM OUR WORLD

  • Leadership is a Choice

    We believe that leadership is a lived behaviour. It is not intellectual theory, learnt through reading books or in a seminar room with a powerpoint presentation, but fundamentally a choice, a way of being.

  • The Power of the Arts

    Our leadership programmes are built using arts-based, experiential and embodied learning techniques that focus on the interior journey of a leader, uncovering the deep-level mental blocks to success, ensuring learning is embedded and transformational.

  • Responsible Leadership

    We have a particular focus on helping leaders be more responsible leaders in business and society, more aware of ESG goals and the action needed to make them happen, and how to develop the personal resilience necessary to cope with an everchanging world.

WHERE THE WORLD COMES TOGETHER FOR IMPACT

  • “Caroline invites her workshop participants to enter into the realm of understanding sources of tension within organizations through the entry point of drama. Her facilitation of learning through theatre allows for an arts-based approach to leadership development that supports teams in coming together to solve complex challenges.”

    Jennifer Correiro, Taking IT global

  • “In the fragmented world we live in I believe it is essential for our leaders to achieve regional and global stability by inculcating human values for decision-making. Artistic interventions can inspire a deeper level of humanity at all levels of leadership. I have felt the power of artists to bring about social change in my own country Sri Lanka, the artist won, and they managed to remove an autocratic leader.”

    Asanga Abeyagoonasekera, Senior Research Fellow, The Millennium Project Washington DC

  • “The first step is awareness …. to be aware of the power of the words …. the power of communication. I feel, I notice now, how people notice and express their ideas. If I go to meetings, I notice how people tell their stories.

    The power of presence. I am now more aware of how I sit, my breathing .

    I will no longer use Powerpoint .... that served me for a period of my career, now I need to tell the story.

    How to make leading ..... practical, it’s being rather than doing. I now understand my boss differently. I now lead as a queen”

    Government Minister, Prime Minister's Office, UAE

  • “You’ve helped us not just as leaders, but as creative thinkers, on a personal level and on so many other levels. These sessions create the kind of 10X thinking that we need. The ideas I’ve generated through this, for example, the idea of creating a new cinema industry, is such a big idea, and it came directly through the coaching sessions. I can’t really put it into words what the coaching has done for me. It has been life-changing.”

    Senior Minister, High Level Government Position

  • “Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to participate in the workshop. I have not only gained a deeper understanding of the program, but also witnessed firsthand how it ignites creativity within participants and offers avenues for engaging and empowering others through art. Moreover, it is truly inspiring to hear that workshop participants will be training others, thus amplifying the power of arts. Keep on with your great work!”

    US State Department
