You are in the right place if:
-
You have technically strong people who were promoted because they were exceptional at their work, and who are now finding that leading others requires a different set of skills from the ones that got them there.
-
You want your managers to develop performance in their teams, not just manage it. There is a difference, and most managers have only been trained in one.
-
You are building a team culture where people perform without constant pressure. You know pressure drives short-term results. You also know it is not a sustainable way to run a team.
The first conversation usually starts with 'I just don't know where to begin.' That is a perfectly good place to start.
Our offers for teams
Inspired Leadership Programmes
Inspired Leadership is a structured leadership development methodology built specifically for the manager who was promoted because they were excellent at the technical work and now needs to lead others doing it. Samantha is a certified facilitator for Inspired Leadership and the primary delivery partner for Kenya and the region.
The programmes work at the level of mindset, self-awareness, and practical leadership behaviour. Not skills training. Not a workshop people forget by Thursday. An engagement long enough that real behavioural change can take hold.
90% of participants in Inspired Leadership programmes report better leadership from their managers. 93% report stronger commitment to their organisation. These are programme-level outcomes. Your organisation's outcomes will depend on your specific context and the commitment of your leadership team.
What engagement looks like
-
Five to six month structured programme
-
Designed for managers and senior leaders in organisations of 60 to 700 people
-
Combines individual and group-based learning
-
Minimal disruption to operations by design
Lumina Spark for Teams
Every person on your team has a way of working that feels natural to them and a way that feels unnatural. Under pressure, people retreat to the natural mode. If those modes do not complement each other, you get friction that looks like conflict but is actually just misalignment of style.
Lumina Spark surfaces that. It is a psychometric assessment that produces a detailed portrait of the team personalities across three layers:
-
who you are at your core,
-
how you show up day to day, and
-
how you behave under stress.
Each person completes their own portrait. The workshop then creates a shared language across the team: here is how I work, here is what I find difficult, here is how to reach me when things are under pressure.
Teams that do this together tend to have in one day the conversations that would otherwise take months of difficult management. That is the value.
When a team takes Lumina Spark together, they stop guessing about each other and start seeing each other clearly.
It starts with a conversation. Samantha will ask what is happening in the team right now, what you are hoping the session achieves, and how many people would be involved, before shaping the workshop around your specific situation.
What it involves
-
A conversation with Samantha to understand your team's situation and goals
-
Each participant completes the Lumina Spark assessment before the session
-
In-person workshop, half-day or full day depending on team size and objective
-
Typically 6 to 20 participants
-
Workshop format is shaped around what the team is navigating right now
Custom Programmes
Some situations do not fit a programme. The team has a specific dynamic. The challenge is contextual. The organisation is at a particular stage that a generic curriculum does not account for.
Custom engagements are designed from the ground up around what your organisation is actually dealing with: the conflict that is being avoided, the transition that is not being managed, the leadership behaviour that needs to develop or stop. Samantha draws on her own frameworks and facilitation experience to build the right intervention for the specific situation.
Engagements typically run over five to six months. The format, session structure, and delivery method are agreed based on what the situation requires.
