Bespoke Leadership Development Programmes

Every organisation is unique – and so are its leadership and development needs. At Faye Beddow People Development, I work collaboratively with you to design and deliver development programmes that are grounded in your context, aligned with your values, and focused on your goals.

Whether you're looking to equip new managers with essential skills, navigate organisational change, or develop a shared leadership culture, I’ll help you shape a practical, meaningful approach that supports learning and lasting impact.

Our Approach

Drawing on over 25 years of experience in leadership and organisational development – including extensive work with NHS organisations and public sector bodies – I offer a flexible and responsive approach. My bespoke programmes are not off-the-shelf packages with a new label. Instead, I begin by understanding your context, your challenges, and your ambitions.

From there, I co-create a development pathway that might include:

Facilitated workshops that combine theory with practical tools
Personality type diagnostics (e.g. Insights Discovery or TypeCoach)
360° feedback and structured reflection
Action learning sets for peer-supported problem-solving
Quality improvement projects for real-world application
Coaching-style facilitation to support both challenge and insight

Everything is tailored. You can choose to include any of these elements – or none. If something’s missing, I’ll design it with you.

Designed around your goals

Excellent training programme, really useful content, delivered in a very accessible way. Faye is very welcoming, personable, leads excellent and relevant discussion and comes with a wealth of knowledge.

I’ve worked with organisations to support:

First-time and emerging managers
Leadership alignment at executive level
Improving performance and feedback conversations
Embedding organisational values and culture
Enhancing customer or service user focus

Using the Leading with a Compassionate Edge example framework, programmes are modular and adaptable. You can treat them as a “pick and mix” – choosing the themes, topics, and methods that meet your specific development goals, team dynamics, and resources.

Taught Workshops

From in-house, face to face workshops to virtual live events, the framework for our programmes is usually a series of taught sessions that address your identified development gaps and business priorities. Take a look at our existing workshops for inspiration, or tell us what you are trying to achieve and we will design an intervention that addresses your goals.

Action Learning

By combining critical thinking, questioning, and real-world application, Action Learning empowers leaders to develop practical solutions while enhancing their skills in decision-making, teamwork, and resilience. A powerful approach that fosters problem-solving, leadership growth, and a culture of continuous improvement.

360° Feedback

We create tailored 360° feedback questionnaires enabling participants to receive confidential input from colleagues, managers, and direct reports. Participants gain a rich picture of their strengths and areas for growth, enhancing self-awareness, leadership skills, and team effectiveness.

Mentoring

Having a senior mentor within your business can really accelerate leadership growth, strengthen knowledge sharing, and foster a supportive culture. We provide mentoring skills training to ensure mentors guide effectively, empowering future leaders.

Applied Learning

These elements form a comprehensive, blended learning experience, reinforcing taught concepts through practical application. Action Learning drives problem-solving and collaboration, 360° feedback enhances self-awareness and leadership growth, mentoring fosters guidance and knowledge sharing, and adding a Service Improvement Project ensures participants apply their learning to real-world challenges, ensuring lasting impact.
