How do we work?
We use a mix of small group learning and personalised feedback and coaching to build knowledge, skills, and confidence.
Our cohort approach means you’re not learning alone – the group becomes your sounding board, your practice ground, and your support network.
You’ll tackle new behaviours, swap real stories, and challenge one another to stretch further. That network stays with you so you’ll have allies who understand exactly what you’re going through, even after the programme ends.
Our learning platform Chartwell Connect keeps everything alive between sessions and beyond. Because the classroom is just the starting point – the real impact comes when you’re back at your desk, leading your team, making decisions.
Who are our facilitators?
Our facilitators are the real deal – organisational psychologists, executive coaches, psychotherapists – people with serious credentials who work globally and across every sector.
They hold two things at once – your strategic priorities and the individual growth of each person in the room. They’ll work with you to create an environment where it’s safe to struggle and grow. They’ll tune into what you need individually and deliver the right mix of encouragement and uncomfortable truths. You’ll learn how to coach one another, share actionable feedback, and build a supportive group climate. You’ll walk away energised and empowered – because they won’t let you settle for surface-level learning.
Who do we work with?
Anyone who needs to have impact, build trusting relationships, and drive change.
Leaders
They’re responsible for delivering results, but leadership isn’t about having all the answers – it’s about inspiring collective action. They need to navigate complexity, build coalitions, and drive transformation when the path isn’t clear.
What they’ll gain: Confidence to lead through ambiguity and practical skills to bring people along even when they’re skeptical or resistant.
You’ll see: Faster decision-making, better cross-functional collaboration, and teams that stay engaged even during difficult transitions.
Functional experts and specialists
They’re brilliant at what they do, but when their expertise goes unheard and priorities stall, technical capability isn’t enough. They need to translate their knowledge into influence and gain buy-in from people who don’t understand their world.
What they’ll gain: Skills to cut through resistance, frame recommendations that land, and build credibility beyond their functional area.
You’ll see: Subject matter experts who contribute at a strategic level, not just a technical one. Better integration between functions. Less frustration and friction.
Intact and dispersed teams
Distance kills trust and slows decisions. When teams are scattered across locations, time zones, or just busy calendars, connection becomes work – and disconnection shows up in your results.
What they’ll gain: Practical approaches to build resilient connections and maintain team cohesion despite distance.
You’ll see: Stronger team performance regardless of location. Faster collaboration.
High potential and emerging talent
They’ve proven they can do great work. Now they need to lead – and that means influencing people who don’t report to them, navigating organisational complexity, and making impact beyond their direct responsibilities.
What they’ll gain: The skills to lead without waiting for permission. The confidence to step up before someone tells them they’re ready.
You’ll see: Your future leaders accelerating their development. Less talent loss because people see a path forward. Smoother succession when roles open up.
New starters and early careers
Being heard takes more than good ideas. They need to build credibility quickly, speak up with confidence, and establish their reputation when nobody knows them yet.
What they’ll gain: Skills to make their mark faster, navigate unfamiliar cultures, and contribute meaningfully even when they’re still learning the ropes.
You’ll see: Faster onboarding, better early retention, and new hires who contribute sooner and more confidently.
