Synergy Leadership Workshops started in 2018 with a simple observation: most leadership training feels like a lecture. People sit, listen, take a few notes, and forget 90% within a week. We wanted something different.
Our workshops are built around real scenarios drawn from the industries our clients work in. Participants practise difficult conversations, run mock strategy sessions, and receive immediate peer feedback. Every session is capped at 16 people so everyone speaks, not just the loudest voice in the room.
We have delivered over 320 workshops for organisations ranging from 12-person start-ups to public-sector departments with 2,000 staff. Our facilitators have backgrounds in organisational psychology, operations management, and executive coaching. They are practitioners first, trainers second.
Each programme can be delivered on-site at your premises, at our training space in Upton Lockman, or as a hybrid session with remote participants joining live.
A two-day intensive for people stepping into their first management role. Covers delegation, giving feedback, and running productive one-to-ones. Participants leave with a 90-day personal development plan.
Half-day or full-day format. Senior managers work through a structured decision-making framework using live case studies from their own organisation. We supply pre-session diagnostic questionnaires so the content maps directly to current challenges.
A one-day off-site for teams that feel stuck. Through facilitated exercises, your team identifies friction points, agrees shared priorities, and builds a concrete action plan. We follow up at four weeks with a progress check-in call.
One-to-one coaching engagements for directors and C-suite leaders. Typically six sessions over three months, with 360-degree feedback at the start and a final review. Sessions run for 75 minutes each, either in person or via video call.
A practical half-day session where participants role-play real workplace conflicts and learn de-escalation techniques. Ideal for HR professionals, team leads, and anyone who regularly mediates disagreements.
If none of the above fits, we design bespoke workshops from scratch. We interview key stakeholders, observe team dynamics, and build a curriculum around the specific outcomes you need. Typical lead time is three weeks.
Results you can see within weeks, not quarters.
We cap every workshop at 16 participants. This means everyone practises, everyone gets feedback, and no one hides at the back of the room.
Every programme includes a follow-up session at 30 days. We review progress against each participant's action plan and troubleshoot sticking points.
We research your sector before the workshop and build case studies that reflect real situations your managers face. Healthcare clients get healthcare scenarios, not generic corporate examples.
Our team averages 14 years of experience in leadership roles before becoming facilitators. They have managed budgets, hired teams, and handled crises themselves.
From first conversation to measurable results in four steps.
We spend 30 minutes understanding your team structure, current pain points, and what success looks like for you. No charge, no obligation.
Within five working days you receive a detailed proposal including objectives, agenda, facilitator bios, and pricing. Once approved, we lock in a date that works for your team.
On the day, we arrive early to set up. Participants receive a workbook, engage in exercises, and leave with a personal action plan. We handle all materials and logistics.
At 30 days we reconvene for a 90-minute follow-up. You also receive a summary report with anonymised participant feedback and recommendations for next steps.
Feedback from organisations we have worked with recently.
"We sent eight of our team leads through the emerging leader programme. Within two months, our internal survey scores on 'manager communication' improved by 22 percentage points. The role-play exercises were uncomfortable at first but incredibly useful."
"The strategic thinking workshop forced us to stop firefighting and actually plan. Our facilitator challenged assumptions we had held for years. Six months later we are still using the decision framework she taught us."
"We booked the team alignment retreat after a difficult restructuring. The day was well paced, the exercises felt relevant, and the follow-up call at four weeks kept us accountable. I would recommend this to any team going through change."
