Leading From Within

Charting a course through the Turbulence of
AI, Financial Uncertainty & Social Change

A 10-week exploration with Thom Dennis - executive coach and
transformational facilitator of change

Yes, I'm in!

It's time for a change.

The old command-and-control playbook is obsolete. Today's dynamic, interconnected world demands leaders who can navigate complexity, foster innovation, and cultivate resilience. It's time to shatter outdated paradigms and embrace a new era of leadership that harnesses the full spectrum of human potential.

Enter the age of integrative leadership. This revolutionary approach blends the assertiveness of traditional masculine traits with the nurturing power of the feminine. It marries analytical thinking with emotional intelligence, and fuses bodily wisdom with cognitive prowess. By harmonizing these seeming opposites, leaders can unlock unprecedented levels of creativity, adaptability, and impact.

Leading from Within is a journey from unconscious reactivity to conscious choice. It's about evolving from a mechanistic view of organisations to seeing them as living, breathing ecosystems. This holistic perspective empowers leaders to cultivate environments where people and ideas flourish, driving sustainable success in our rapidly changing world.

Are you ready to redefine what it means to lead?

If not now, when? If not you, then who?

Benefits to expect from the programme



Traditional leadership styles no longer work. Whether you are in the C-Suite, an entrepreneur building a start-up, a senior or middle manager, your ability to lead successfully relies on mastering core internal skills.

I work with leaders across multiple industries and the same techniques apply. I have led teams across country in the Royal Marines, helped facilitate during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and I have coached leaders from leading with fear to inspiring with confidence.

Your Coaching for the Future programme comes with:

- 10 hours of coaching.
- A curated list of resources and reading material.
- A supportive network of like-minded leaders.
- Self-assessments and explorative questionnaires.

You can expect to benefit from newfound self-awareness, stronger decision-making ability, a happier work/life balance. Your approach to stress and uncertainty will become more flexible and open. Rather than working with fear, you can tap into your Leading from Within toolbox to find healthier and more strategic alternatives.

Unless you acquire new skills and strategies, you risk becoming stagnant and falling behind. You may find promotions more difficult to navigate and could struggle to meet the changing demands of your industry.

In just ten weeks, we can identify the core developmental areas to stop this from happening.

'Thom has a great listening style and the ability to help you deconstruct the issues you may be facing, and guides you to possible solution pathways. I know my line manager saw a immediate change in my interactions with my peers and leaders, and using his own words — I became more comfortable in my skin.'

Ready to Elevate Your Leadership?

In my years of leadership success, I have found networking is essential to my development. Group coaching creates an opportunity to join a supportive community while gaining deep insights into your leadership style and awareness.

You'll be part of a diverse group of leaders who have experienced significant personal and professional growth through this programme. It’s specifically designed to equip you with the tools and strategies needed to excel as a leader.

In the comfort of your own home, participate in live, weekly coaching sessions held with a limited number of people. This ensures I can give everyone the attention and guidance they need.

The recordings of each session will be sent to you so you can review the material and refer back to it whenever needed. Our next coaching programme begins Tuesday 21st of January at 19:00 pm (GMT), with each session taking place every Wednesday at the same time thereafter.
