Leadership Lab Taster

A few hours set aside for leaders to slow down, think clearly, and talk honestly about the realities they’re facing and reflect on how they’re showing up as leaders.
Leadership can be heavy, and the pace rarely slows. Many leaders are carrying a lot and don’t often get the chance to stop and think things through. This taster is a chance to step out of that momentum for a few hours and be with others who understand what it’s really like to lead. The taster will be lightly facilitated to create a space for personal insights and learning. You will also learn some innovative approaches to leading with more impact.
Date: May 15th
Location: The Fumbally Stables, Dublin 8
Time: 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
"I felt truly connected so quickly"
"I didn't realize there was still this much to learn about myself."

  1. Explore one of your own leadership challenges

  1. Experience a relaxed, open, energising space

"I thoroughly enjoyed the connection with the small, yet diverse group. The content brings us together, and we hear diverse thoughts, which we all need to be balanced and thoughtful leaders."
"The tools were practical and immediately useful.”
“I wish more leadership development felt like this.”
Who the Lab is For
The Leadership Lab Taster is designed for:
  • Senior leaders and founders
  • Experienced people managers
  • Leaders navigating periods of significant transition
  • Anyone seeking to take a deeper dive into personal leadership practices
Prior experience with specific leadership models is not required; a spirit of curiosity and openness is all that's needed.
What Happens After the Taster
We have created an ongoing space - which we call Leadership Lab - for senior leaders to convene and meet regularly throughout the year. It's a community of like-minded people who are interested in developing their own leadership and supporting others to do the same. The Lab is a mixture of support, challenge and deep dive coaching. Because we typically deal with more personal or organizationally sensitive topics, this kind of experience simply cannot be offered inside organizations.
Monthly sessions begin in September 2026 and continues through May 2027. We will meet for a half-day each time.
The investment for the full experience is €4,500 which covers all nine sessions. We offer a 25% discount for anyone who attends the Taster and signs up within 30 days. This full price in this case is €3, 375.

Why Leaders Attend the Lab
Senior leaders are drawn to the work we do because they:
  • Get access to a group of like-minded peers and expert facilitators
  • Are challenged and supported on business, personal and leadership issues
  • Learn new tools and transformational processes
  • Experience an environment where they can leave behind the mask of performance
  • Get the opportunity to focus on what's holding them back or on what truly matters
