What

Leadership development without the blah

Leadership development programmes are notoriously corporate and templated. They often tell you what they want to tell you, not what you need to hear. We recognise that what makes you different is what makes you successful. And we use that individuality to shape coaching that grows your capability.
Through a combination of team development and 1:1 coaching, we guide high-growth leadership teams from Accidental Leaders to Intentional Leaders. It’s about giving you the insights and control to steer your ever-growing, ever-changing business in the right direction, in the right way. Protecting the vitality and spirit that got you here.

you (who)

Challengers. Disruptors. Rebels. You?

It takes creative, disruptive thinkers to shake up industries. But as growth comes fast, you’re expected to steer an expanding ship without knowing all the controls. We have a name for you – Accidental Leaders. We’re here to help bring clarity from chaos. To become the Intentional Leader you have the potential to be.
With any development work, there’s a question of when. High-growth can feel like a whirlwind. There’s a temptation to tackle your leadership challenge when things get quieter. Trouble is, you’re unlikely to find time for change unless you change. We’ll work alongside your team and match the speed of your business. And we can start right now.

HOW

Connect. Empower. Ignite.

Our programmes are built on our three pillars of Intentional Leadership: Connect, Empower and Ignite. They meet at the inflection point of change. And they inform how we’ll work with you and your team.

Connect

Intentional Leaders connect their teams to the vision and priorities. Building engagement through clarity

Empower

Intentional Leaders set their teams up for success. Ensuring they feel equipped and ready for the challenge ahead – and then letting them lead. 

Ignite

Intentional Leadership drives energy through the team – igniting passion and performance. 

HOW

Investigate. Inspire. Instil.

We bring our pillars to life across three stages:

Investigate the situation

We agree what programme success will look like. We look at any survey data you might have to identify themes. We meet with stakeholders and listen – we want to understand the context for why we’re working together.

Inspire with insights

We’ll engage and listen to your leaders in group sessions and one-to-ones. We’ll dive into the themes and issues we’ve uncovered. Then we’ll run a programme the upskills, inspires and give you the best chance at success.

Instil the skills

We’ll make the new habits stick by providing clarity on roles and responsibilities. We’ll check in with the team after each tri-monthly survey; and we’ll provide aftercare to keep you confident and full of purpose. The magic’s not going anywhere.

about

Unconventional. Just like you.

We may be leadership consultants but we’re no corporate stooges. Like you, we’re driven to do things differently.
We don’t come in guns blazing with all the ‘answers’. We’re more supportive, empathetic and open-minded. From the moment you meet us, it’s clear we know your world but don’t assume to know the exact challenges you face. But, together, we’ll explore them and find the clarity required to overcome them.

Philosophy (Building Blocks)

Shift your mindset from Accidental to Intentional

When success comes fast, unconventional thinkers find themselves in unfamiliar positions. You become a leader without applying for the role. We call this becoming an Accidental Leader.

Accidental Leader

As an Accidental Leader, some of the traits you might experience are:

Low confidence

You avoid interacting with your team or stakeholders – you’re more comfortable ‘doing’ rather than ‘leading’.

Uncertainty

You hold back on making important decisions until your hand is forced or abdicating altogether. You react rather than respond. 

Alienation

Your new role requires you to step up and away from the fold. You feel vulnerable and exposed – no longer part of the group.

Loss of joy

To scale at speed takes a certain magic; a special team dynamic. As your behaviour shifts the team adapts but not always in the best way for the business.

Fear of inauthenticity

Rule breakers often distrust leaders and authority. So, when they’re expected to step into a leadership role they feel inauthentic and resist it. The risk of not addressing accidental leadership – if you’re invisible, inconsistent or detail-obsessed – is that your team will not feel safe and your business will drift. Your people are looking for responsive leaders with purpose.

Intentional Leader

Using a modular combination of team development, 1:1 coaching and skills development, Third House builds Intentional Leaders who understand their role, their values and their purpose. You will feel:

Clear and connected

You’ll provide focus and clarity for your people. You’ll be able to prioritise goals, step away from the details, and ensure everyone feels connected to the wider vision.

Competent and ready

You’ll focus on setting your teams up for success with empathy and consistency. You’ll remove barriers and provide resources.

Excited and committed

Your visible, energised leadership builds trust and confidence – and that drives excitement, accountability and commitment through the business.
