Alchemist’s Leadership Enablement Framework supercharges the appetite for self-improvement in young talent. These programmes explore qualities like emotional intelligence, high-impact communication skills and leadership capabilities in an engaging and captivating way.
Understanding Self & Others
An employee with low self-awareness or can be a challenge to collaborative working. These characteristics can undermine inclusivity and cause an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Identity is at the core of these programmes. It is used to empower your people to take a critical eye to their own strengths and growth areas, helping them realise their full potential.
Project & Stakeholder Management
If your stakeholders aren’t giving you buy-in, it might be down to poor value creation. If your people don’t have the skills to build rapport with strong communication, they lose the power to influence and convey the real value to stakeholders.
A blended learning journey can target your early talent’s networking abilities, allowing them to develop and maintain strong connections across your organisation with trust, communication and collaboration.

With immersive and experiential sessions, your early careers talent learn to leverage the collective knowledge of their teams and unearth diverse perspectives to spark innovation. Young talent can develop deep-rooted problem solving skills by learning to dissect issues at the root and apply critical thinking to overcome them with creative solutions.
High Impact Conversations
If your people don’t value or nurture open and honest communication, they may be unable to develop deep connections with their team. Only engaging in surface-level interactions can lead to a lack of engagement.
Together, we can explore the importance of maintaining open and honest communication with your early talent. Using a hands-on approach, they will learn to develop their skills in a relevant, practical setting. Interactive forum theatre settings actively engage participants as they develop their abilities in active listening, tactfulness and fostering an inclusive environment – all of which will allow them to hold high impact conversations.
Presentation Skills
Poor presentation skills make it hard to sell a compelling story, whether that’s internally in the boardroom or pitching to investors and clients. Speaking with confidence and clarity in a way that captivates and influences the audience can be the difference in winning and losing opportunities.
Leveraging innovative learning scenarios and peer-to-peer coaching can deliver presentation training that empowers your people with techniques and confidence to be persuasive storytellers. Together we can help your talent craft engaging narratives that convey powerful messages.
