The Elevated Leadership Mastery Programme

Build Your Leadership Effectiveness, Decision-Making and Strategic Impact

The higher you move in leadership, the less straightforward the role becomes.

The decisions carry more weight. Expectations increase. You are influencing across more people, more priorities and more competing demands. And the answers are not always obvious.

What worked earlier in your career may no longer be enough for what the role now requires.

That does not mean you lack capability. It often means your leadership has reached a point where experience alone is no longer enough. You need space to think, challenge your assumptions, strengthen your judgement and deliberately develop how you lead.

Most people arrive at this programme through one of two doors.

  • The first is experience. You have been leading for a while. You are capable, respected and used to delivering. But the role has got bigger, the decisions harder and the consequences greater. You want to think more strategically, lead with greater presence and make better use of the experience you already have.

  • The second is transition. You have stepped into leadership, or are preparing for a bigger role, and you want to build strong foundations rather than learn everything through trial and error.

The Elevated Leadership Mastery Programme is a structured 12-month coaching and development programme designed around you, your role and the leadership challenges you are actually facing.

Approved by The Institute of Leadership. Qualifies for up to 25 CPD hours.

Is This for You?

This programme is the right fit if you recognise yourself in any of these:

  • Your role has grown and the decisions now carry more weight.

  • You are making important decisions but want greater confidence in your judgement.

  • You are managing up, down and across, and too much of your time is being pulled into the operational.

  • You want to strengthen your presence, influence and strategic impact.

  • You have stepped into leadership and want to build strong foundations from the start.

  • The people side of leadership - performance, accountability, difficult conversations or delegation - is proving harder than the technical side.

  • You want structured development built around your world rather than generic leadership training.

  • You know you are capable of operating at a higher level, but need the challenge, accountability and space to get there.

What You'll Work Through

The programme is built around 15 leadership modules, but it is not a fixed curriculum that every client follows in the same order. The modules give us breadth; your role, priorities and development needs determine where we focus.

A senior leader managing strategic complexity, leading through technological disruption or making high-stakes decisions in an unpredictable environment will need something very different from a leader who is new to the role and building their foundations for the first time. The framework gives the programme structure without turning your development into a formula.

The breadth of the programme covers everything from the inside out:

  • The self-awareness and emotional intelligence that underpin everything you do as a leader.

  • The communication and influencing skills that determine how others experience you.

  • Strategic thinking and decision-making frameworks that let you lead with clarity rather than react under pressure.

  • How you build high-performing teams, delegate effectively and hold people accountable.

  • Leading through change, complexity and the kind of challenges that don't come with a straightforward answer.

Before each session, you'll engage with the relevant programme material - reading and reflection that makes the coaching conversation sharper, more focused and more immediately applicable to what you're actually dealing with.

How It Works

The programme runs over 12 months.

That matters because meaningful leadership development is not something that happens in a handful of conversations. The value comes from applying what we discuss, seeing what happens, reflecting on it and continuing to develop over time.

Where circumstances genuinely require a different pace, we can discuss that during the initial conversation.

Part 1 — Leadership Strategy Development Session

Before we begin, you'll complete the CliftonStrengths® for Leaders assessment. In our first session, we use those results, alongside your goals, values, current challenges and what success genuinely looks like for you, to build a personalised, one-page Leadership Development Plan.

Using the R.A.I.S.E. methodology - a structured framework for defining clear leadership outcomes - we map a clear path through the programme. You'll leave that session with a precise direction and a plan built entirely around you.

Part 2 — Monthly Coaching and Development

Each month we work together in focused coaching sessions. You choose the format that works best for you - one three-hour session or two sessions of ninety minutes each.

Before each session you'll engage with the relevant programme material - reading and reflection designed to make the coaching conversation sharper and more directly applicable to what you're dealing with right now. In the session itself, we review the previous month, set goals for the next, work through the relevant module and identify the actions that will move you forward. Each session gives us the opportunity to review what has happened, work through what matters now and agree where your attention needs to go next.

Delivered online, in person or hybrid, to suit you and your schedule.

Your Development Between Sessions

Your development does not stop when a coaching session ends.

Throughout the programme, 51 North gives you one place to keep your Growth Vision, priorities, goals, reflections and progress visible.

You can use it to:

  • Track annual and monthly goals.

  • Capture reflections and insights from coaching.

  • Access programme resources and documents.

  • Review progress over time.

  • Keep actions and priorities visible between sessions.

It creates continuity between our conversations and gives us a clearer picture of what is moving, what is getting stuck and where our attention needs to go next.

The Investment

The Elevated Leadership Mastery Programme is for leaders who want sustained development rather than occasional coaching conversations.

I work best with people who are willing to examine their own thinking honestly, test new approaches and take responsibility for applying the work between sessions.

There are three levels of programme, reflecting the seniority and complexity of the leadership context:

Leadership Mastery - £4,950 plus VAT. For managers, team leaders and aspiring senior leaders building strong leadership foundations.

Senior Leadership Mastery - £6,950 plus VAT. For experienced senior leaders, heads of function and directors strengthening their strategic impact, judgement and influence.

Executive Mastery - £8,950 plus VAT. For C-suite executives, founders and business owners operating at the top of organisations where the decisions, pressures and consequences are greater.

Payment plans are available across all tiers - monthly instalments over 6 or 12 months.

The programme is delivered online and available to clients globally. Pricing in USD, EUR and AED available on request.

If you're looking to develop multiple leaders or a leadership team within your business, bespoke pricing and programme structures are available. Get in touch directly to discuss your needs.

The programme is available to start at any time. The right starting point is always a discovery call - a confidential conversation to understand where you are, what you need and whether this is the right fit.
