What do your leaders need: Vision? Strategy? Resilience? Impact? To Inspire?
Leadership Development is not a one size fits all. We believe that context is everything in designing the right programme for our clients, yet there are also some Leadership 101’s. At Mighty Atom we combine our experience and knowledge with your distinct context to build the right programme for you.

My Deputy and I attended your Powerful Conversations training session run through the Challenge Partners Hub. We both agreed that this training was highly supportive for us as leaders and has had a huge impact on how we address conversations with staff. As we feel so passionately about the impact that your training can have on leaders, we would like to explore the possibility of running your training through our Teaching School Alliance.
Some of the big ways you have helped me are…

As a result of your coaching, I feel…
Coaching Client
You brought a strong energy and passion to the design and facilitation, and we’re able to really get to the heart of what we were trying to do very quickly. Your judgement and ability to push certain aspects of the facilitation back to the group really enabled us to own it and surface some tensions; resulting in a very productive conversation.

Sue brought the ‘wow’ factor to our programme. Her leadership, energy and innovative approach built trust within the group extraordinarily quickly.
Client Sponsor FTSE 250
Sue has a really refreshing and honest approach that I have always found to be prognostic and practical. Her delivery in the moment is exceptionally strong and she has a very natural and easy style with her audiences. Her facilitation skills are impressive.
FTSE 100HR Client
Sue is always able to bring an objective reminder and challenge to my approaches and behaviours. She listens well and has an uncanny ability to play things back to me in a way that makes me reflect on things in a slightly different and challenging way. I always come away from a discussion with Sue with an action, something to reflect on, or an approach which I can apply immediately to help address whatever topic or challenge I am trying to address at that particular moment. It’s this moving from the theoretical, strategic and, dare I say, ‘therapeutic’ aspects of our discussion to the real world and tactical level that I really appreciate.
Coaching Client
Last Friday was inspirational and SO relevant for our headteachers / school leaders. The pitch and focus on leadership through relationships was spot on.
Challenge Partner
