Experiential Leadership

Developing leadership at all levels, enabling culture transformation.
Experiential Leadership
Immersive and disruptive experiences designed to create a quantum shift in leadership capacity and the emergence of culture transformation.

We co-create immersive and disruptive experiences which can create a quantum shift in leadership capacity, inspiring creative right-brain thinking, and developing deeper connection to heartfelt purpose. These experiences move you beyond your comfort zone and challenge existing paradigms, leading to the emergence of completely new ways of leadership thinking, being and acting.

To meet the challenges of our time, the quality of leadership needs to elevate. Our programmes focus on all leadership competencies, but especially the leadership qualities which are required for this:

  • Purpose and Values Led

  • Sustainability Literacy

  • Innovative Collaboration

  • Strategic Systems Thinking

  • Values Difference and Inclusion

Our innovative programmes and journeys of experiences can include extended time working in nature, engaging with marginalised social groups, and exposure to experts and case studies in high performance and regenerative / sustainable leadership. These experiences are combined with "classroom" learning and reflection, with expert facilitation and coaching at the heart of the learning process.

It's about building trust and a safe space, enabling leaders to make deeper sense of their experiences, and integrating insights and learnings into their leadership ambitions, thinking, being and acting.

We focus your attention and influence on transformation at all levels of leadership, including impact at the systemic level, through tangible sustainability innovation projects, with top level leadership sponsorship and investment.

"The AHL Sustainability Leadership Development and Coaching Programme was a truly transformational experience for me – I feel my leadership capacity has grown significantly as a result, and it has definitely emboldened me to raise my leadership ambitions for our organisation, and also for the greater good of society and the planet"

Lucy Kendall, Head of Resourcing, Diversity & Inclusion - Europe, Laing O'Rourke

"AHL’s leadership coaching and development has been an important element of our business transformation journey over the past 4 years. The quality of insight, challenge and support always feels deeply empathetic, grounded in our reality, and informed by strong strategic and business acumen, as well as a wider awareness of the systemic environmental and societal landscape."

Anthony Jones, CEO, PGL

"The AHL leadership coaching and development programme has been pivotal to our ability to build our business since we started to expand our team rapidly over the past 3 years. As we grew, we realised that our leadership team needed support in building their personal leadership capabilities and styles and we understood the imperative to create a culture that is underpinned by authentic values and behaviours that are understood, exemplified and explained by our leaders."

Stuart Cash, CEO, Y TREE

Insights

The Unique Leadership opportunity of the Climate and Ecological Emergency

We are all now becoming aware that we (the whole of humanity) are facing a climatic and ecological catastrophe if we do not make significant change in the next few years. How have we unconsciously acquiesced and allowed our environment to be marginalised as an “externality”, treated as just an unfortunate “side effect” of our economic and societal system... and how we can bring it back to the heart of everything?

The Power, and the Power shift, of Diversity – a Leadership Imperative

It seems we are in the midst of a long, gradual dawning of realisation about the profound consequences of social and economic dominance, and privileged advantage. Many of us who have lived our lives with some or all of these advantages have been blind to the impact on those who have not.

The Eco Phase Cycle – Navigating these times of unprecedented leadership challenge.

Wars, cost of living crisis and economic uncertainty, climate change, biodiversity loss: we are facing a “polycrisis” of existential threats from environmental breakdown and resulting social, political and economic dislocation. How do we navigate our way as leaders – and as humans – through these unprecedented times?
