Human Alchemy
Human Alchemy exists to make organisations and their leaders extraordinary. We believe in the potential and possibilities of an organisation when their leaders consistently think, communicate and behave in ways that are, what we call ‘Extraordinary’.
We help leaders explore and understand ‘extraordinary leadership’ and the outcomes that it can enable in the organisation.
We help the leadership team understand what it takes to live and breathe it, and the possibilities they can unlock for their organisation, when they do.
In our experience ‘Extraordinary leaders’ have core, common characteristics:
Our three-step approach helps the Chief Exec understand what can be done to unlock extraordinary leadership in their organisation. It then helps them engage and ignite their team to explore the characteristics for themselves and understand the positive impact they can have if they do them.
Our initial engagement will be at Chief Exec level. This discreet, confidential diagnostic and insight sharing conversation may consist of one or two sessions, for which there is no charge. Together we identify areas CEO wishes to address against the core leadership characteristics. We then create a bespoke plan to begin the process of transformation. Our relationships are special. We are a project partner and together, working with the leadership team, we make the desired changes happen.
We will plan and design a bespoke project to support the leader enabling the desired transformation that we identify in step 1.
This can range from a 12-month project to enable a full organisational culture shift programme, to a short burst of work with the Exec Team to address a specific issue.
Our initial engagement can often take the form of an exploration into extraordinary leadership with the immediate exec team. These immersive leadership sessions bring self-reflection, self-awareness, buy in and change.
Wider organisational engagements to get everyone on the same page. Beginning the process of culture shift may include one-day workshops within the different levels of leaders and managers.
Executive coaching and mentoring for Exec Team members is a commonly used tool we use to support the programme and enable insight to transfer from the workshop to the individual within their role.
Our clients often wish to join our Human Alchemy Alumni. This includes invites to round tables where organisations network and share best practice. Also, a digital network where alumni connect, share and support with experiences, techniques and advice.
