We help Executive Leadership Teams to prepare and develop talented managers to become successful leaders over 3-12 months, reducing costs, risks and increasing engagement, retention and performance.

About

At Purple Sky Consulting, we help Executive Leadership Teams turn their talented managers into successful mid-senior level leaders. We help you promote more of your talent, reducing your reliance, costs and the risks of external hiring, whilst increasing engagement, retention and performance.

We work with you to prepare your talent so you can confidently promote more managers into leadership roles. We then get them to a place of high-performance, quickly. They become a leader who is clear, confident and effective, and lead teams who want to work with them because of the positive impact they have on engagement, wellbeing and performance.

When organisations invest in promoting talent to your leadership teams, they reduce disruption in performance (on average, there is a 15% drop in performance when a leader struggles moving to a bigger role), they mitigate impacts on engagement (when they struggle, organisations see a 20% increase in team attrition), and they reduce the time it takes to get to a positive performance level (49% of promoted leaders are still struggling after 18 months).

We help you create a more structured approach that supports you to ensure your organisation benefits from internal promotions. We help you overcome the barriers to achieving this and help you create a more sustainable approach to talent development and succession planning.

Our focus on the preparation and promotion of talent to leadership roles comes from our founder, Anwen Bottois’ experience of this transition. Anwen recognised how underprepared and unsupported most managers are when they step up to leadership roles. They are moving from managing tasks and people to leading strategy and managers (often peers) and this requires something different.

At Purple Sky Consulting, we use these experiences, insights into what works for effective leadership, and our passion for helping others to shine, to work with organisations to prepare, promote and enable high-performing mid-senior level leaders. Anwen is an ILM Level 7 Executive and Senior Leader Coach and Mentor, a Member of the EMCC, and a Chartered Fellow of the CIPD. All members of the Purple Sky Consulting team meet high levels of qualification, experience and Anwen’s standards.

Here’s what some of my team and clients have said about working with me:

“I feel more capable of picking my head up, taking a step back, and evaluating situations more clearly. I feel like I have better mental clarity to make leadership-level decisions, and more confidence to trust myself to do the right thing. Anwen is brilliant at helping you work through your thought process, identifying your blockers or biases, challenging you when needed, and ultimately supporting you to arrive at your own light-bulb moments.” Finance and Resources Director, Leadership Coaching Client

“Anwen is a brilliant coach and facilitator, I trust her completely to add value with our clients. She really cares about the value she brings to her work. I’ve watched her lean into difficult conversations with grace and skill, and trusted her with some really tricky group dynamics. She has added value to everything she has done for us.” Business Owner, Client

“Anwen has a real passion and skill for creating strong teams where people can thrive and be their very best. Anwen is at ease translating priorities and articulating what needs to be achieved across her teams in a ‘can do’ way. She blends focus and drive with empathy and compassion. She has a generous spirit, which engages the people she works with and enables her to transform culture and change.” Head of Organisational Development, Direct Team Member
