Executive Leadership Workshop: Building Confident and Connected Leaders 

At The School of Play, we believe that exceptional leadership is built through connection, self-awareness, and collaboration. That’s why we’ve designed the Executive Leadership Workshop as a dynamic program that strengthens individual leadership capacity while building the collective power of leadership teams.Through experiential learning, reflective practices, and the power of play, leaders gain the tools they need to create impact, foster trust, and drive meaningful change across their organisations.

Why the Executive Leadership Workshop?

Leadership teams face increasing pressures to deliver results while also building safe, connected, and high-performing cultures. The Executive Leadership Workshop offers a shared learning space for leaders to grow together, balancing individual development with team alignment.
By focusing on emotional intelligence, team dynamics, and practical leadership frameworks, this program ensures leaders leave with strategies they can implement immediately to create stronger teams and a healthier organisational culture.

How It Works

The program can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each organisation and delivered in several formats:

- One full-day workshop
- Two half-day workshops
- A series of 5 x 1-hour workshops

Each session blends reflection, discussion, and hands-on experiential activities, ensuring learning is active, engaging, and directly applicable to real-world leadership challenges.

Key Focus Areas

Building Individual CapacityLeaders explore their strengths, deepen self-awareness, and grow emotional intelligence to lead authentically and effectively.

Emotional Intelligence in Action Learn to regulate emotions, respond with empathy, and create psychologically safe, high-performing teams.

The Power of Middle Leadership Understand the unique role middle leaders play in driving strategy, culture, and success across teams.

Practical Leadership Frameworks Tools such as stakeholder mapping, influence strategies, and the GROWTH Coaching Model help leaders build trust, unlock potential, and empower others to achieve their goals.

Measuring Impact with Play

What sets this workshop apart is its use of play-based learning. Every activity is interactive and experiential, helping leaders learn by doing while fostering connection and energy. Play transforms the workshop into an energising experience that bonds teams, sparks creativity, and builds confidence.
