The Robertson Trust

What We Did

Rather than offering quick fixes or definitive answers, the programme with The Robertson Trust created a space where leaders can reflect, experiment, learn from each other and adapt. Participants worked together over eight months, co-designing their learning journey around their real experiences, challenges and changing needs.

How We Did It

To build resilience, we created regular time and space for leaders to step away from the pressures of their day-to-day work and reflect. Bringing people together in similar leadership positions so they could share experiences, challenges and ideas in a supportive and non-competitive environment. Rather than following a fixed programme, the participants helped shape what they learned based on their needs and the issues they were facing. They explored real challenges around leadership, organisational sustainability, relationships, power, workload and uncertainty.

What Did Participants Say

“Having ‘time out’ with like-minded and same-purpose organisations and people has been invaluable. Having a safe and open space to be honest, knowing you will get honest feedback, has made some hard choices easier.”
