Emerging Leaders
Development Programme

For experts and high performers, where continued success
requires greater self-awareness, confidence and leadership impact.

Not a conventional leadership skills course.

A structured 10-week virtual coaching experience for capable leaders ready to understand themselves more deeply, work with real challenges, and lead with greater confidence, steadiness and impact.

A space to explore how you lead,
see more clearly,
connect more deeply,
and act with greater courage.

Why this programme exists

Stepping into leadership asks something different of us.

What once worked well as an expert, individual contributor or high performer may not be enough when you are leading people, navigating relationships, carrying pressure, influencing across systems and making decisions in uncertainty.

At a certain point, leadership becomes less about knowing more or doing more, and more about noticing what shapes how you see, react, relate and choose.

This programme gives participants a structured space to do that work, using real leadership challenges from their own organisational lives.

The shift from high performer into leadership

How the programme works at a glance

Across 10 weeks, the programme combines individual coaching, small-group dialogue, developmental tools and guided reflection.

Each participant brings a real leadership challenge, which becomes the practical thread for the work.

The programme invites participants to look beneath surface issues: noticing the patterns, assumptions and habits shaping how they respond under pressure.

Through reflection, practice and integration, participants explore how they react, relate and choose in real leadership situations, and begin to bring greater clarity, steadiness and choice into their work and leadership.

Why this programme is for you

Are you feeling capable but not always confident?
Are you navigating politics, conflict, change and ambiguity?
Are you carrying pressure from above and below?

You may already be managing people, influencing across teams, leading projects, navigating senior stakeholders or carrying greater organisational responsibility.

This programme may be for you if you are capable, committed and growing into greater leadership responsibility, but beginning to sense that what got you here may not get you there.

It is for emerging leaders with potential, appetite and readiness to look more deeply at how they lead.

Interested in joining or sponsoring a participant?

Participants and sponsors are invited to connect for a short programme fit conversation.

Client Testimonials from Emerging Leaders

Leading with greater authenticity, confidence and intention

In Grant’s Emerging Leadership programme, I became more aware of the way I had been leading, quietly, carefully, leaning on competence, something I could look at honestly and change.

The programme works with the inner game of leadership and goes deep, through the Enneagram, my Leadership Origin story and My World View. Grant brought the frameworks to life, reading situations with clarity, calling out subtle shifts and things going unsaid. He helped me move into greater awareness and more choice.

I came out of this leading with far more authenticity, confidence and intention.

Through practice, real conversations and honest reflection, something shifted. And for that, I am deeply grateful.

Questions & Answers

Why I designed and offer this programme

Grant Galvin. PCC, ICF
Coach & Facilitator
GAICD (Institute of Company Directors)
M.B.A.

I designed this programme because I have seen many capable people step into leadership through expertise, commitment and performance, only to discover that leadership begins to ask something different of them.

It asks them to carry more complexity, navigate more relationships, work with uncertainty, and stay steady when there is no simple answer.

Over many years leading, coaching and working inside complex organisations, I have seen that the shift into leadership is rarely only a skills gap. It is often a developmental transition.

This programme is designed for capable leaders who are ready to look beneath the immediate issue, understand what is shaping their response, and grow into leadership with more clarity, steadiness and choice.
