Not Leadership But Expertise

You’re really good at your job and you’d like that to be enough.

You want to be taken seriously but have no interest in being the one in charge. You’re sceptical of ‘leadership’ courses and would like another option for professional development that isn’t centred around taking on a leadership role.

You’re not alone: most people in most organisations aren't, or don’t want to be, leaders and almost no further professional development was built with us in mind.

If this all sounds familiar, then this course is for you!

Good Endings

How people leave your organisation is not just a procedural matter for HR. It's a cultural choice.

It's not only staff who leave: volunteers and service users will also experience how it feels to leave your organisation. And while redundancy can feel like the most emotionally charged ending, it may not be.

From succession planning to exit processes, from retirement to resignation, from saying goodbye to long term service users to Trustees standing down: whose choice the ending is, and how it is handled, are themes that cut across all types of departure.

This three-hour workshop will help your team diagnose your organisation's current approach to endings and explore whether a different approach, consistent with your values, is needed.

A one-hour reflective session for people working in purpose-driven roles to think about what’s next.

We’ll explore what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change — so you can decide your next step with clarity and confidence.

Fundraising for Trustees

Fundraising staff and Trustees are, in theory, on the same side.

In practice, they often operate with different assumptions, different pressures, and different ideas about what success looks like.

This session doesn't teach Trustees how to fundraise. It helps them understand the fundraising environment, what their fundraising team is actually dealing with day to day, and what they can do, from their position, to make a positive difference.
