What Makes A Natural Leader?

Not in a lecture theatre. Not from a case study. In the body, under pressure, in relationship, over time — the way every enduring thing in nature is grown. The natural leader™ is a nature-based leadership development, executive coaching and communication consultancy. We build leaders — and the systems they lead — to be healthy, optimal and enduring.

THINK: Leadership Intelligence

Creating optimal leadership practices and mindsets for clarity of strategic thinking, leadership presence and the creation of a shared vision.

FEEL: Human Intelligence

The ability to connect authentically, build trust and lead with emotional insight and intelligence. Resulting in healthy relationships and heightened wellbeing.

DO: Performance Intelligence

Enduring a personal impact and an influencial presence captivates and engages all audiences through effective use of body, breath and voice.

The Natural Leader Living Systems™

At the centre of our work is a proprietary framework unlike anything else in the market: The Natural Leader Living Systems™. It assesses and develops leadership across 60 measures, spanning three interdependent systems: • The individual leader's system — head, heart and body • The organisational system — individual, team and purpose • Nature's system — the living principles of growth, adaptation and regeneration. Most leadership models look at one of these in isolation. We work with all three, together — because a leader's clarity of thought, quality of presence, team dynamics and organisational purpose are not separate. They are one living system, and they succeed or fail together. Change that is felt in the body and tested against real work is change that lasts. It's also why our clients see behaviour shift in weeks, not just intentions shift in a workshop.

  • Being not doing Leaders who 'do' with clarity and courage and 'be' with presence, integrity and heart.
  • Optimal Realising potential by unlocking higher levels of energy, presence and influence.
  • Enduring. Natural resourced leaders capable of sustained and sustainable performance leadership.
  • Healthy. Heightened levels of wellbeing that benefits both leaders and the teams they serve.
  • Experiential. Personalised and experiential learning with direct coaching and feedback for immediate and applied impact.
  • Strategic advantage. Human excellence that drives competitive edge across your leadership system.

The Natural Leader Difference

Our unique combination of world-class skills makes us radically different and able to develop the richest form of leadership. We develop the practice of leadership through human excellence that demands an expansive range of communication, coaching, leadership and relationship skills. Our approach brings these leadership practices, theories and skills to life in experiential and embodied, personalised practice for direct implementation into the workplace. We do not develop leadership via powerpoint, classroom learning or theoretical, academic discussion.

Healthy leadership

Wellbeing is built in, not bolted on. Our programmes are directly mapped to eight leadership
dimensions of health and wellbeing.

Working Both Ways With Nature

We are the only leadership development consultancy that works directly with leaders, teams and organisations to learn from nature, and to lead in service of nature.

Not nature as a backdrop or a wellness gesture — nature as teacher, and nature as our single stakeholder. As your organisation faces its own questions of sustainability, regeneration and long-term value, we help your leaders build both the internal capability and the external responsibility that this moment demands.

What this means for clients

Healthy. Optimal. Enduring.

Leaders who build healthy living leadership systems — and, in turn, create the conditions in which their people, their teams and the whole organisation can thrive.

For you, that means:

  • A common leadership language and set of behaviours across every level
  • Leaders who can influence, align and deliver change with genuine presence
  • Stronger culture, healthier teams and performance that sustains itself
  • Development you can evidence, track and defend at board level
  • A leadership pipeline built for the long term, not the next away-day

“This is about 'being' a leader. We draw from our experience and put theories into personal practice with the individual or team in front of us. With an expanded sense of who they are as a leader, they become able to draw on every aspect of their unique, natural leadership intelligence and adapt it to their audience and purpose, for greatest impact.”

Experiential Learning

Personalised and experiential learning means immediate and applied impact.

Theories are brought directly to life through personal experience and dynamic practice. Our work is experiential, practical and interactive for immediate application and impact.
