Why future-proof your leadership?

At Holos, we specialise in helping organisations create the kind of culture that will deliver sustained success in a disrupted environment.  Digitisation, decarbonisation, the ageing population, the need for sustainability, the new space race and of course the pandemic are disrupting every sector.

Authentic leadership is the only superpower that can enable sustained success for organisations, communities, and societies in this environment. 

As leaders and facilitators, this requires us to not only teach skills but to create a mindset within teams and individuals that is based on inter-dependence, collaboration, and innovation underpinned by psychological safety. We need to support people to get outside of their comfort zone, be vulnerable and step beyond what feels safe and what they know. 

As organisations transform, we as leaders need to reliably role model authentic leadership to support others to understand it and live it, through all of the stress, stretch and challenge.

The programme lasts approximately two and a half months from beginning to end. There is an application process and once confirmed, you will embark on the Facilitation 360 in order to get a clear understanding of where your opportunities to improve lie. A rich 1:1 debrief session with a Holos Faculty facilitator will assist you in setting your goals for the programme.
The Opening session will take place virtually over a ½ day with all participants and facilitators where you will discuss the core concepts and get orientated. Participants will be grouped into pods of 5 or 6 for the duration.

Then there will be 4 x 1-day virtual sessions on the key focus areas: Being Post-Conventional, Connecting & Triggering, Structure & Hacks and Impact. Between the sessions you will be encouraged to meet virtually, as a learning pod for self-directed learning and peer support.

Throughout you will be working on an individual “Personal Change Project” to embody the goals that you set in the pre-programme phase for yourself.

And finally, during the Closing Session, a ½ day virtual get-together, there will be a peer review and you will receive your certification.

After the programme is over, you can incorporate FPL into your own practice and continue to work on your Personal Change Project. All participants will be invited to join the Holos Community of Practice as well as Holocon, Holos’ annual virtual conference.

The crucible of experience

The Holos Future-Proof Leadership faculty have worked at the cutting edge of leadership and facilitation for many years, working in some of the most challenging corporate environments of the last decade. Collectively we share more than 200+ years of such facilitation experience working successfully with leaders, teams, and systems. 

That said, we do not claim to have all the answers and look in every encounter to share and develop our knowledge of how to have better impact and collaboration with other like minds. In many ways this programme is designed around sharing experiences, rather than something taught. 

The culture we seek to create is to set up peer-supported experiences we can all learn from, including self-directed ‘pods’ and learning groups where co-coaching, wisdom, hacks, and rich and challenging feedback are all built in.

Our origins are in supporting BP and Barclays culture change projects since 2010. Holos was formed in response to consolidate and offer a new way to deliver organisational change, as well as offer our learning and expertise to other clients.

We believe transformation occurs at the habit level. We work with senior teams, through a combination of coaching and workshops to design their target culture and embody the habits that will enable it.  We continue to work with those teams to enrol the rest of the organisation.

Holos runs projects ranging from single team to whole organisation and cultural transformation.  

Our USP is in the Post-Conventional Context – we help conventional organisations transform to deliver Sustained Success in these uncertain times of constant change.
