What is Kaboodle Leadership ?

Kaboodle Leadership brings together a breadth of expertise and experience in Leadership Development. We teach organisations to develop their own Leadership Development Programmes. We also design programmes to order for you.

Using years of working in large corporate settings and with small companies and entrepreneurs, our innovative work springs from ongoing research into cognitive neuroscience, approaches to adult learning and real life leadership experiences. Because of this, we are not tied to a single theory or model. As a result we are able to continually push our boundaries to offer you the latest techniques and ideas around generating robust and creative leaders.

We firmly believe that leadership is about who you are. We get results through helping organisations build leadership programmes to enable people to discover their potential to create, innovate and achieve, generating new possibilities to share with colleagues and their organisations in order to sustain growth and adapt to change.

We have built our business on face-to-face workshops, executive coaching, delivery of full leadership programmes and organisational consultancy on learning design. In addition we have helped companies with issues around problem teams, agile strategy development, maintaining creativity and changing the way leaders think and behave. Our face-to-face work continues with remote working platforms and have diversified into tailor made online e-learning products through through our subsidiary company Leap Professional Ltd.

We now have an online learning platform to offer distance learning for individuals and companies (we created Leap Professional Ltd to offer this).The passion behind both companies overlap, the key distinction being a new approach to leadership and a new approach to online learning for leaders.

We Provide a Range of Leadership Development Opportunities

Programme Design; Coaching; In-house Train the Trainer; Consultancy; Research; Community of Practice

The understanding of leadership is constantly changing with new insights, research, and approaches. We take a fresh approach to each organisation, team and person. Good leadership is critical to the vitality and sustainability of an organisation’s mission.

Here are examples of some of the services we provide and programmes we have designed and run to develop leaders today and nurture new leaders for tomorrow. We welcome being invited to longer term projects within an organisation so we can effect transformational change
