What is the Leading Growth Programme?

In any leadership role, you face new challenges every day and wear many different hats in the workplace. The ‘Leading Growth’ programme is designed for business owners and senior leaders who want to rise above the day-to-day and focus on accelerating their business through the next phase of growth.

Former participants, Stewart Rowney, Matt Seymour and Pam Aubert share their experience of taking part in the Leading Growth Programme.

The programme

The programme will run over a number of group sessions and has been designed to allow participants to complete the sessions alongside their work commitments.

It consists of eight half-day morning face-to-face workshops, top and tailed with a launch event and a final 90-minute masterclass titled Maintaining Momentum.

The programme is built around a practical curriculum which features:

  • A taster session.
  • One hour online meet and greet session.
  • Eight high impact morning sessions.
  • One 90 minute Masterclass titled ‘Maintaining Momentum’ session.
  • Unlimited access to Royston and the Pathways team in between the sessions.

  • A series of blended tools including; webinars, zoom sessions, white papers and online tools for you to use.
  • A 12 month subscription to the Business Growth Pathway platform with over 300 hours of learning and 150 tools available at your fingertips.

Whether you’re running your own business or you’re a senior leader in an organisation, the ‘Leading Growth’ programme gives you a forum to rise above the urgent and concentrate on what’s most critical: the difficult, strategic decisions that will drive your business forward.

By the end of the programme you will develop a business growth plan to help you lead your business to unlock and realise its full potential.

What participants say

For anyone required to lead their organisation’s growth, attending the Leading Growth Programme will be a valuable use of time. The format is excellent for providing structure to all the areas you need to consider for growth – from finance to HR, brand to culture. The opportunity to build relations with other Leaders on the course is an added bonus.

How will I benefit from the programme?

At the end of the Leading Growth Programme you will be able to confidently say:

  • I lead myself: being a great leader starts with leading self and articulating a succinct answer to questions like; why anyone should be led by you?
  • I lead the business: understanding how, as a commercially savvy leader, you set the strategic business plan, understand the growth levers and all the moving parts which go into a rounded business growth strategy and how you shape a high performance culture in order to turn your vision into reality.
  • I lead others: unlocking people potential by identifying what makes individuals tick and how to develop great performance in others.
