What do we mean by "Bridge the gap"?

We’ve both worked in different continents, in different settings, in different jobs since we left university. And we noticed a commonality.

‍Many leaders excel technically, they might be excellent coders or really good at medicine and they could be promoted to leader because of just that. But they often do not fulfill their potential or that of their team because they do not know how to lead.

They lack vital leadership skills such as effective communication, how to manage conflicts, and how to be a part of, and lead, a team.

How our programme will benefit you.

Throughout education systems, leadership skills are rarely taught. We have noticed the direct impact the lack of these skills has on otherwise very competent teenagers and the strain this puts on their emotional well being and ability to plan ahead for their future.

It doesn’t have to be this way. The feedback we consistently receive from our Leadership Training is: “We wish we had learnt these skills years ago”.

This is why we have adapted it for schools, specifically for 6th formers, to ensure that these students can match their emotional intelligence to their cognitive abilities and stand out from the crowd as excellent leaders of tomorrow.
