Leadership development that delivers
Very few leaders are trained in leading. At Allora Leadership and Coaching, we draw on current research and practice to offer tailored leadership development to meet your unique needs. Beyond setting goals and strategies for achieving them, we support you in leading a culture of ongoing improvement, with energised, high-performing teams focussed on results, accountability and mutual purpose.
Our program design draws on and 'unpacks' these dimensions of leadership:
Leading for Success
Developing the practical wisdom and disciplines required for executing strategic change by transforming knowledge and understanding into intentional action.
Building Alignment
Learning how to build alignment at all levels of an organisation that conserve energy and create that most precious commodity: time.
Leadership Communication
Mastering communication tools and strategies that build authentic, trusting relationships; and that equip you to prevail in all conversations, including those which you find challenging.
Leadership Influence
Understanding the nexus between your values and actions, and the trust others have in you. Learning approaches that strengthen this nexus - and your influence as a leader. Learning how to inspire others beyond compliance to commitment.
Clarity about Self as Leader
Reaching deep understanding about your personal values and vision and how you apply them in your leadership. Utilising your narrative intelligence for clarity and confidence. Finding courage and agency when things feel too hard. Monitoring and evaluating how you are doing as a leader.
High-Performing Teams
Cultivating an environment for high-performing teams to grow in. Applying emotional intelligence to leading teams; understanding the causes of team dysfunction and the supportive interventions leaders can make.
Cultural Leadership
Leading with a coaching and growth-oriented disposition, focussing on supportively bringing out everyone's best. Understanding how to seek and provide feedback which fuels learning and development.
Leading in a VUCA* Environment
Understanding and designing the elements of deep, sustainable pillars for the organisation that keep chaos at bay in times that are *volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.

‘Culture’ - often defined as ‘the way we do things around here’
A key role of leadership is to actively design ‘the way we do things around here’, rather than allowing it to evolve of its own accord. We work with you on transforming your culture to align it more closely with the organisation’s vision, values and goals.
Where there is a focus on continual improvement, where people learn together, and are scrupulous in seeking and providing feedback from clients and each other, respectfully, collaboratively and rigorously; then ‘the way we do things here’ becomes more tightly aligned with what the organisation seeks to achieve.

A fusion of coaching, mentoring, teaching and your own self-discovery
Drawn from adult learning research, our approach is to custom-design a program suited to your needs and unique context. Typically, the program will feature several sessions spaced apart to enable reflection, action and further refining.
We provide participants with a range of short print and video learning resources, which we use to stimulate you to action as you implement new learning into your practice of leadership.
We offer face-to-face sessions; fully online, live sessions; or a blending of both.
