Our Leadership and Management programmes are not just off-the-shelf solutions. They are tailor-made to fit your unique organisation and its specific needs and environment, ensuring every attendee's sense of relevance and personalisation.
They include many aspects of our stand-alone workshops, so you can pick and mix the ingredients you want to effect the change you wish to see from the outcomes. 
We thread your values into our programme to ensure they are inculcated through every workshop and into the minds of all attendees. This helps embed them into everyday thinking and ensures everyone knows why they are critical to your organisation's success.
We extend a warm invitation to all Leaders and Managers, irrespective of their hierarchical position or role, to attend this programme. This inclusivity is a testament to our belief that everyone, from the executive team to the newly promoted Manager or Leader, plays a crucial role in your organisation's success by using the same principles when managing and leading their people.
Our workshops do not sugarcoat the truth. We say what we mean to ensure clarity and recognition of why the ingredients matter. We do not pick out individuals, we do not embarrass, and many discussions are conducted in groups of three. Those groups then come together to share their thoughts and opinions and learn from each other. This ensures that all voices are heard, all ideas considered, and all challenges shared and addressed as a committed organisation.
Accountability and responsibility feature in our sessions. Our facilitator is accountable and responsible for ensuring professionalism and honesty; we expect the same from all participants. You are investing in them; in return, they will invest with commitment, effort and diligence.
“If you stop trying to please others and just do the right thing,
with authenticity, transparency, and integrity,
you will win the hearts and minds of those about you organically.”

Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - All those who lead or manage others and those who will be in the near future (the next 12 months) unless you already have an aspiring leaders programme.
Why? - Most people interested in such a programme are reading this because they already know why it is critical. More often than not, you are trying to decide who to talk to about it.
Those who know people know how different we all are, how political shenanigans cause havoc with open and honest conversations, how people are too afraid to speak out, and how trust is desperately sought after but sadly not yet present. They also know that all this needs 'fixing.' At LaPD Solutions, it’s what we do.
Organisations that realise their most important resource is their people will also realise they must invest in them to ensure consistency, lived values, and behavioural excellence. Only then will they attain the best possible success and profit margin.

Programme delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
