FORGING BETTER LEADERS: Founded in April 2009 by Kate Billing and Paul Leacock, Blacksmith is a boutique leadership development practice using fully human development approaches to evolve leadership at a personal and collective level. We forge better leaders fit for the future, not just today.
We believe there is massive untapped potential in individuals and organisations all over New Zealand. Potential that can make individuals more fulfilled and successful; organisations more sustainable, profitable and positively impactful; and our families and communities stronger and more deeply connected.
We work with organisations looking for an edge in their leadership behaviours, culture and performance. We partner with them to create bespoke leadership development and transformation initiatives that facilitate meaningful change, on a personal and collective level.
Working at Executive Team level, with senior leadership talent, and with 'whole of organisation' leadership communities, our programmes focus on:
- Leading Change
- Leading Collaboration
- Leading Culture
- Leading Performance
- Network Leadership; and
- Conscious Leadership.
Be it 50 leaders or 1000+, our programmes are co-designed with your people and integrated into your culture, organisational rhythms, and strategic agenda: built in, not bolted on means lasting impact.
