Leadership Lab Taster
A three-hour immersive space to connect authentically, explore real leadership challenges, and learn in a way that’s human, honest, and deeply valuable.
Leadership is getting more complex — and more human. Many senior leaders are tired of feeling like they must hold everything together, stay in control, and get it all right. They want space to think, to breathe, to be around people who “get it,” and to explore new ways of leading that feel more grounded, more inspired, and more real.
That’s what the Leadership Lab Taster offers.
Refreshing Environment
Step into a refreshing, high-trust environment with other curious, growth-minded leaders.
Dynamic Development
Experience a different kind of development: interactive, embodied, and energizing.
Immediate Insights
Leave with insights and tools you can apply immediately, in just three hours.
What You’ll Experience
This isn’t a lecture. It’s an immersive, engaging session designed for real learning and real connection.
During the Taster, you will:
  1. Explore a real leadership challenge with skilled guidance
    Bring something alive for you — a relationship, a decision, a pattern you want to shift — and work with it in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
  1. Learn practical tools you can use right away
    You’ll get simple, powerful practices for clarity, communication, decision-making, and staying grounded under pressure.
  1. Connect with like-minded peers
    Expect rich conversations, honest reflection, and a group of leaders who share your desire to grow and lead in a more conscious, sustainable way.
  1. Experience a relaxed, open, energising space
    A rare chance to slow down, experiment, and feel supported — without needing to perform or have it all together.
Why Leaders Attend
Leaders consistently tell us they come because they want:
  • A fresh perspective on recurring challenges
  • Tools that help them stay grounded and clear
  • A space where they don’t have to be the “expert”
  • Honest, human conversations with peers
  • A deeper sense of alignment and confidence
  • An experience of leadership that feels less effortful and more alive
  • A place where they can leave behind the mask, the persona, the performance
They leave saying:
" I did't realize there was still this much to learn about myself"
“I felt really connected so quickly.”
“The tools were practical and immediately useful.”
“I wish more leadership development felt like this.”
"I thoroughly enjoyed the connection with the small yet diverse group. The content brings us together and we hear the diverse thoughts which we all need to be a balanced and thoughtful leader"
"I really enjoyed the experience and am very grateful to have been included. Loved the group environment & the venue was fab".
Who It’s For
The Leadership Lab Taster is ideal for:
  • Senior leaders and founders
  • People managers
  • Leaders going through transition
  • Anyone who wants to deepen their presence, emotional intelligence, and impact
You don’t need prior experience with leadership models — just curiosity and openness.
