Who we are

Impressive Leadership was founded in Scotland with a single focus: helping mid-size organisations develop their people into confident, effective leaders. We are not a generic training provider. Every programme we deliver is designed around the specific dynamics of your team, your sector, and the challenges you face right now.

Our facilitators have backgrounds in organisational psychology, operations management, and executive coaching. Between them they have worked with over 120 organisations across financial services, healthcare, technology, and the public sector.

We measure results at 30, 60, and 90 days after each programme ends. If participants are not applying what they learned, we come back and adjust. That follow-through is what separates a useful programme from a forgettable away day.

What we offer

Executive coaching

One-to-one sessions for directors and C-suite leaders, typically running eight to twelve weeks. Each session is 90 minutes, with structured exercises between meetings. We focus on decision-making patterns, stakeholder communication, and personal accountability.

Team development programmes

Intensive two-day or three-day workshops for intact teams of 6 to 20 people. We map team dynamics using psychometric profiling, run live simulations, and build action plans that each participant owns. Follow-up check-ins happen at four and eight weeks.

New manager foundations

A six-week blended programme for people stepping into management for the first time. Covers delegation, difficult conversations, performance feedback, and time management. Each week combines a 2-hour live session with 30 minutes of self-paced material.

Leadership retreats

Off-site residential programmes lasting two to four days, designed for senior leadership teams facing strategic transitions. We handle venue selection, agenda design, and facilitation. Previous retreats have addressed post-merger integration, culture reset after rapid growth, and succession planning.

360-degree feedback facilitation

We administer, analyse, and debrief 360-degree feedback reports for individuals or groups. The debrief session typically runs two hours per person and results in a concrete development plan with no more than three priorities, so it actually gets done.

Organisational diagnostics

Before any programme begins, we can run a diagnostic that includes stakeholder interviews, engagement survey analysis, and leadership capability mapping. The output is a 15-page report with prioritised recommendations, delivered within three weeks of the final interview.

How we work with you

1

Discovery conversation

A 45-minute call where we listen to what is happening in your organisation, what you have tried before, and what success looks like for you.

2

Proposal and scoping

Within five working days we send a detailed proposal with objectives, session outlines, timelines, and pricing. No vague promises, just specifics.

3

Programme delivery

Sessions run at your offices or a venue of your choice. We bring all materials. Each session includes pre-work and a short post-session reflection exercise.

4

Follow-up and measurement

We check in at 30, 60, and 90 days. Participants complete a brief impact survey. You receive a summary report showing behavioural change data alongside qualitative feedback.

What our clients say

"We brought Impressive Leadership in to work with our newly promoted team leads. Within two months, the number of escalations reaching my desk dropped by about 40%. The team leads started solving problems themselves."

"The 360-degree feedback debrief was the most useful two hours I have spent on my own development. The facilitator was direct without being harsh, and I left with a clear plan."

"They ran a three-day retreat for our board during a period of significant change. The structure kept us focused, and we left with decisions made rather than just discussed."

Common questions

How long does a typical programme last? +

It depends on the format. Executive coaching engagements usually run 8 to 12 weeks. Team workshops are two or three days. The new manager programme is six weeks. We scope everything during the discovery call and tailor the length to your objectives and calendar.

Do you deliver programmes outside Scotland? +

Yes. We work across the UK and have delivered programmes in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Cardiff. For international teams, we can facilitate virtually or travel to your location with travel costs quoted separately.

What industries do you specialise in? +

Our strongest experience is in financial services, technology, healthcare, and the public sector. That said, leadership challenges are often more about organisational size and growth stage than sector. We have successfully worked with construction firms, law practices, and charities.

How much does it cost? +

Pricing varies by programme type, group size, and duration. A single-day team workshop for up to 12 people typically starts around £2,800 plus VAT. Executive coaching is priced per engagement. We provide detailed pricing in every proposal so there are no surprises.

Can you work with our existing HR or L&D team? +

Absolutely. We often co-design programmes with internal HR and learning teams. This ensures the content aligns with your competency frameworks and any existing development pathways. We can also train internal facilitators to sustain the programme after we finish.
