What do I need to do to prepare for the programme?

Mindset

• Ability to be clear of distractions with a calm quiet place to participate.
• Willingness and time to put in the work outside the weekly group sessions.
• Interest in setting aside pre-conceived ideas and opening mind to new techniques.

Technology

• Camera, microphone, computer, appropriate internet bandwidth.
• Mobile phone with data plan for activity check-in when away from computer.

All content used in the programme is posted on the learning platform and as appropriate available for download. All virtual group coaching sessions are recorded and posted to the platform after the session as well. In addition, we have an online support community to share and ask questions.

What is Flaming Leadership doing to create more sustainable programmes?

• For our virtual programmes, all materials are presented and shared digitally. For in-person programmes, we allow each participant to make their choice for their learning style, but encourage using digital media.
• For offsites, we use local vendors, restaurants that support 0-3km use of food, do not provide or support the use of single-use plastics and are low-tech during the event.
• Whenever possible, we encourage local transportation options and have even started our offsites on trains to the venue so that participants get to know each other.

What accommodations are made for participants if needed?

Flaming Leadership aims to create an inclusive environment for all of our programmes. Please note that we need to know that there is an accommodation required in advance to work on a solution. Our online sessions are held on Zoom or Google Meet with captioning available. We add pictures/photos to our content for visual appeal but when possible do not make them essential to learning. Where they are a necessary element, we do our best to provide accurate descriptions.

For our in-person corporate offsites we make every possible attempt to provide accessible spaces. In Spain this is sometimes difficult with older venues, but we will adjust where possible or propose alternate solutions with appropriate advance notice. We also aim to use a variety of techniques in our programmes to reach different learning styles

What is the programme about exactly? What is the added value participants will take out from it?

Explore your leadership identity and uncover the strengths that set you apart. In our group coaching programme, we'll tackle the tough questions:
- 🚀 Who are you as a leader?
- 🗣 How can you ensure everyone's voice is heard?
- 🧠 What do you need to know about bias?
- 🌱 How do you create a truly safe culture?
- 💭 What is clear, intentional communication?

What’s the USP? Why is it unique?

We have worked very hard at putting together a programme that not only creates space for learning the pillars of leadership in high performing organisations but is flexible enough to allow for adaptation to the programme as needed to meet the participants where they are and tackle what they need. Having the programme in Spain allows us to also embrace the culture of work to live, not live to work and allows us to create a sustainable programme free from day-to-day distractions.

How do you plan to personalise the programme experience for participants?

We have time built into the programme for individuals to receive 1:1 coaching as well as group coaching sessions where the participants create the talking points. We also have self-reflection and pair work time built into the programme.

Next Steps and Programme Closeout

Can you discuss any experiential learning opportunities or hands-on activities included in the programme curriculum?

The entire programme is experiential and hands-on. We don't believe in lecturing you into learning. We will certainly give specifics and best practices and share our own experiences and stories but then we will have activities to challenge participants to put what they have learned into practice. We also have a journal for reflection and additional notes and practices specific to each individual's needs and experiences.

What are the benefits for the organisations/companies who invest in this for their employees?

Investing in the Ignite Your Inclusive Leadership programme offers a unique opportunity for organisations to cultivate exceptional leadership capabilities that drive tangible results.

Here's why this training stands out:

• Comprehensive Approach: Our programme covers a wide range of essential leadership skills, from mindset development to navigating difficult conversations, ensuring a holistic growth experience for participants.
• Practical Application: Through a blend of instruction, practice exercises, and group coaching, participants gain hands-on experience and actionable strategies that can be immediately implemented in their roles.
• Focus on Organisational Impact: By understanding systems dynamics, fostering high performance culture and expanding influence, leaders are equipped to drive positive change within their organisations and inspire excellence at all levels.
• Inclusivity and Empowerment: With a strong emphasis on creating inclusive environments, empowering individuals and giving everyone a voice, our programme cultivates a culture of collaboration, trust and innovation.
• Visionary Leadership Development: Participants emerge as visionary leaders with the mindset, skills and strategies to lead in today's dynamic business landscape, driving innovation, inspiring excellence and achieving unparalleled success.

Can you share any success stories or testimonials from previous participants of your workshops / previous clients?

Rather than list them here, we encourage you to visit our website and LinkedIn pages where we have many testimonials.

What ongoing support or resources will be available to participants after they complete the programme?

Once a participant is registered, there is an online Welcome Module that walks them through all of the details of the programme and even provides bonus information on traveling to Spain. In this Welcome module, we also gather information on individual participant needs.

During the programme, we use various tools in-person and also have a journal for participants that is available as print or digital.

After the programme we have ongoing community support through the learning portal as well as a check-in group coaching call a few months after the programme.

In what ways does the programme incorporate principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion?

We have made the activities and programming as accessible as possible and will accommodate specific needs as needed. In addition, we offer all of our materials in digital format for consumption at one's own pace. We have a group coaching code of ethics for everyone to follow to ensure equal access to information and opportunities. In addition, as coaches, we are constantly monitoring the group which we intentionally keep small and will adjust programming as needed. We also provide 1:1 guidance for those who have a matter they want to work on in private.

How does the programme encourage self-reflection and personal growth for participants beyond traditional leadership skills?

The entire programme is designed to support and encourage self-reflection. We also have activities whose results are not shared with other participants for people to do self-work as well as those that are shared for group coaching and mentoring.
