We help Diverging and Emerging Leaders to build a culture where everyone realises their full leadership potential by training them to step into their Inner and Sensing Leader, and Leading from Behind, Beside and in Front.

Creating Inner Leadership in your organisation

Having worked with businesses for many years supporting them on how to develop and grow their leadership talent, it struck us that there still is an assumption that leaders ‘have to be made’ rather than ‘leaders are everywhere’.

Our approach to Inner Leadership development is recognising everyone’s innate leadership capabilities and providing them with the tools to ‘be’ and ‘do’ leadership to be able to feel more empowered, motivated, inspired to ‘step up’ to being a leader and ‘step back’ from leadership over-control.

Our leadership training helps each role to operate more strategically and operationally by building their confidence, focus and understanding of the legacy they are creating through our 5 positions of leadership training, and our bitesize offerings.

The Being and Doing of Leadership is now a blended learning programme for you and your team. To find out more, take our 5 days of leadership Challenges giving you an insight into the 5 positions of leadership for both your Emerging and Diverging Leaders.

“For me it is more about my awareness of switching / morphing from one leader to another.  How to consider what type of leader is needed in certain situations or type of leader people need.” Kim Wilkinson, Drector

(Diverging Leader)

“By focusing and learning about the ‘invisible and visible knowledge’ of leadership together, we have learned that both are essential for creating the foundations of an agile and flexible leader.” Collette Anderson, Corporate Services Officer

(Emerging Leaders)

“Kate created a bespoke programme for our group, all about empowering staff to interact with others with confidence, looking at self awareness, communication, and self belief. The content was just what we needed, and was delivered in a friendly and relaxed manner making the attendees feel at ease, which allowed everyone to thrive and take on board the teaching. The group have really benefited from the material. Kate’s knowledge in this area ensured the programme was a success.”  Alyson Gray, HIT Scotland Scholarship Manager

(Empowering Future Leaders)

“Unlocking the leader that is within, take time to explore your own journey.  A unique experience.” Nicola McDonald, Family Food Service Operational Manager

(Diverging Leader)

“I took part in Kate’s 5 Day Challenge (Jan 2020) and personally I got a lot out of it. It truly brings to life the idea that everyone is a leader. There are natural positions of leadership which we all recognise but Kate made us think about different situations and how, if they are approached in a particular way, we can help bring out the best in ourself and the people we are ‘leading’. Already, I can see how what we learned and what Kate instilled in us can be utilised in upcoming challenges and where being able to dip into the toolkit appropriately will be a huge benefit.”  Mark, Business Data Analyst

(5 Day Leadership Challenge)

“Course for ‘rising stars’, people who are at the beginning of a leader road and for natural leaders who want to explore more about styles of leadership.”  Agata Dabrowski, Head of House Keeping, Apex Hotel

(Emerging Leader)

“Carers Of East Lothian arranged with Kate to facilitate two team training days. From the initial contact, to the training day itself, everything was organised and planned extremely well. Kate took time to find out exactly what the needs of the organisation were, arranged a planning session with myself and then remained in contact by email and phone to iron out any issues before the day. When the day arrived we all had complete instructions, a course content and what to expect. Each session was completed on zoom but this didn’t cause any concern for Kate and we didn’t experience anything less than a first class training course.” Claire Spiden – Deputy CEO Carers Of East Lothian.

“It’s a very informative yet interactive programme that gets you thinking about things you’ve never thought of.  The amount of knowledge gained and tools to take away are beneficial.”

The Being of Leadership. These two and a half days gets them ‘ready to lead’ and to develop their awareness of the ‘invisible’ leadership strengths of who they fundamentally are, their Inner Leader, and what they intuitively know or sense in their working world, the Sensing Leader.

The Doing of Leadership. The journey to becoming an Emerging Leader looks at the ‘visible’ skills, attitudes, and tools over three days of interactive, reflective, and leadership development. They will learn to become a Leader from Behind, Leader Beside, and Leader in Front.   Their final half-day will be bringing it all together, as they presentation their key learnings to fellow attendees along with invited colleagues, followed by a self-designed celebration.

The starting place for any senior leader is to explore the Being of Leadership, who they are by clarifying personal aspirations, motivations and understanding their impact on others.  Something they often consider for others, but not always about themselves.  The Doing of Leadership explores the ‘visible’ positions of leadership via experiential learning, transferable tools, and reflective practices. Accessing both ‘invisible and visible knowledge’ of leadership is the foundation for becoming an agile and flexible leader for today.

They will start at their default position of Leader in Front, before exploring how to collaborate more with Leader Beside, and  take a more coach-approach with Leader Behind.   Their final half-day will be bringing all the learning together and culminate with a celebration of their choosing.

The workshops will be interactive, reflective and provide you learning into current personal, professional, and leadership thinking.  The typical duration time is 6 – 8 months months. Ask for a copy of our brochure.

Who is it for?

Diverging Leaders are:

  • managing a large team or department
  • may be a Director, Senior Manager or CEO of the business for the past 5 years

(Diverging Leaders)

“This training course has made me take a step back and look at how I lead my team.  I learned something new in each of the training sessions, and this led to me having a far greater awareness of supporting and developing people within my team.  As a result I am able to trust those around me more and effectively delegate work tasks.  The training has also made me look at my core values and improve my own self, and this has impacted on both my work and my personal life.”

Nicola Carrigan Depute Housing Services Manager

“I had the privilege of working with Kapow Coaching on a the leadership development programme facilitated by Kate and Moon for Glasgow Health and Social Care Partnership. The experience was transformative and exceeded all expectations.

Kate brought a wealth of knowledge and practical insights that were both inspiring and actionable. The programme was meticulously structured, blending theoretical frameworks with real-world applications, which made the learning process engaging and highly relevant to our daily challenges.

One of the standout aspects was the personalised approach. Both Kate and Moon took the time to understand our unique organisational context and tailored the sessions to address our specific needs. This bespoke approach not only enhanced our leadership skills but also fostered a stronger, more cohesive team dynamic.

The tools and strategies we acquired have already begun to yield positive results, and I am confident that the long-term impact will be significant. I highly recommend this programme to any organisation looking to cultivate effective and visionary leaders.”  Carrie Fivey Snr Organisational Development Adviser, NHS GGC

“Me and Joanne since doing the course feel we communicate better with each other when exploring the ideas, we have for the nursery. We also feel able to help build up the confidence of our other team member.  We found the most helpful section the leading from beside as we both now work in the same room as each other and it helped us to better understand each other’s strengths and weaknesses and realise we have the same goals and reach them using different styles.”
