Leadership workshops that change how your team actually works
We run small-group workshops for managers, team leads and directors who want to get better at the hard parts: giving feedback, running meetings that matter, making decisions under pressure and building trust with people who report to them.
Innovate Leadership Workshops was founded in 2019 by two former operations directors who spent years watching talented people get promoted into management roles and then left to figure it out alone. We thought that was a waste.
Our workshops are not lectures. Nobody sits through slides for six hours. Each session lasts between 90 minutes and a full day, depending on the format, and every minute involves doing something: practising a difficult conversation, mapping out a decision framework, giving and receiving real feedback from peers in the room.
We work with groups of 6 to 16 people. That size is deliberate. Smaller than six and you lose the variety of perspectives. Larger than sixteen and people start hiding.
Based in England, we deliver workshops on-site at your offices, at hired venues or online via video. Most of our clients are in the Midlands and South East, but we travel anywhere in the UK and have run sessions in Dublin and Amsterdam too.
► What we offer
New manager foundations
A two-day programme for people who have been managing for less than 18 months. Covers delegation, one-to-ones, setting expectations and handling the shift from peer to boss. We cap it at 10 participants and pair each person with a follow-up coaching call four weeks later.
Senior leadership intensives
For directors and heads of department. These are full-day sessions that tackle strategic thinking, influencing across departments and leading through organisational change. We use real scenarios from your company, anonymised but recognisable enough that the exercises hit home.
Feedback and difficult conversations
A focused half-day workshop built around live practice. Participants rehearse real feedback scenarios with trained actors who respond authentically. You walk out having said the hard thing out loud at least three times, which makes the fourth time, back at work, far less daunting.
Team alignment sessions
When a team is stuck, misaligned or recovering from a rough patch, we facilitate a structured session to surface what is actually going on. This is not a team-building day with trust falls. It is an honest, guided conversation about roles, priorities and working agreements, followed by written commitments that each person signs off on.
Decision-making frameworks
A 90-minute workshop that teaches your leadership team two practical decision frameworks: one for fast, reversible choices and one for slow, high-stakes ones. We use case studies from your industry and leave you with a one-page reference card your team can pin above their desks.
Ongoing coaching packages
After a workshop, we offer monthly one-to-one coaching calls for participants who want continued support. Each call is 45 minutes. We review what they tried, what worked and what to adjust. Packages run for three or six months.
► How it works
You get in touch by phone, email or the form below. Tell us roughly how many people, what level of seniority and what you are hoping to improve. We respond within one working day.
We schedule a 30-minute scoping call (free, no obligation) to understand your context. We ask about your team structure, recent challenges and what success would look like six months from now.
Within a week we send a written proposal with a recommended format, agenda outline, date options and pricing. Pricing is per session, not per head, so you know exactly what it costs.
Once confirmed, we prepare tailored materials. If we are using scenarios from your organisation, we interview two or three stakeholders beforehand to gather real examples.
We deliver the workshop. On-site sessions include all printed materials, facilitation supplies and a digital summary sent within 48 hours. Online sessions include a recording and a follow-up resource pack.
Four weeks later, every participant receives a short check-in survey. We compile the results and share them with whoever commissioned the workshop, along with recommendations for next steps.
► What participants say
"I dreaded the feedback workshop, honestly. But practising with actors made it feel safe to get it wrong. Two weeks later I had the conversation I had been avoiding for months, and it went well."
Rachel T., Operations Manager, Birmingham
"We booked the team alignment session after a restructure left everyone confused about who owned what. The facilitator kept us focused and honest. We left with a written agreement that actually stuck."
James K., Head of Product, London
"The decision-making framework session was the single most useful 90 minutes of training I have attended in my career. Short, practical, immediately applicable."
Priya S., Finance Director, Manchester
► Frequently asked questions
How much does a workshop cost?
Pricing depends on format and duration. A 90-minute online session for up to 12 people starts at £1,200. A full-day on-site workshop with tailored materials starts at £3,500. We always quote a fixed price per session so there are no surprises.
Do you work with small companies?
Yes. About a third of our clients have fewer than 50 employees. We adjust the format and group size accordingly. A workshop for your five-person leadership team works just as well as one for a department of fifteen.
What industries do you specialise in?
We have worked with technology companies, financial services firms, NHS trusts, charities and manufacturing businesses. Leadership challenges are surprisingly similar across sectors. The specifics change, but the skills are transferable.
Can workshops be delivered online?
Absolutely. We run online workshops via Zoom or Teams. They are shorter (typically 90 minutes to half a day) and we use breakout rooms, shared documents and live polling to keep engagement high. Online sessions work best for groups of 6 to 12.
What happens after the workshop?
Every participant receives a digital summary within 48 hours, including key frameworks, any group outputs and recommended reading. We also send a check-in survey at the four-week mark. Optional coaching packages are available for continued support.
