At the heart of our work is the belief that today’s most complex challenges require diverse voices and shared leadership. Through immersive training, coaching, and facilitated learning experiences, we help people develop the mindset, skills, and practices to lead in inclusive, adaptive, and person-centered ways. Whether you're a seasoned executive, an emerging leader, or a community organiser, we offer a space to grow your capacity and deepen your impact.

 

Our programmes blend theory and practice, drawing from fields like systems thinking, racial equity, emotional intelligence, and group dynamics. We prioritise experiential learning—meaning participants don't just learn about collaboration, they live it. Every workshop, cohort, and learning journey is designed to foster trust, self-awareness, and real-world application, ensuring the work extends far beyond the classroom.

 

Headed up by our Associate Practice Lead, Catherine Wilton, the Collaborative Leadership Academy brings together a diverse and highly experienced team of specialist associates—including people with lived experience. Our team has decades of experience in supporting individuals to grow as leaders who think creatively, act collaboratively, and lead with empathy and purpose. Our work helps people develop new ways of seeing and responding to challenges—shifting mindsets, strengthening practical skills, and embedding approaches that are inclusive, adaptable, and genuinely centred on what matters to people. Whether working within organisations or across systems, we equip leaders to build trust, navigate complexity, and create lasting, person-led change.

 

We partner with health and social care organisations, schools, housing providers, public services and mission-driven companies to create customised leadership development solutions. Our team works closely with clients to design experiences that meet their goals, culture, and context. Our offers include:

• In-depth open and bespoke leadership and organisational development programmes over 3, 6 and 12 months
• One-day retreats and workshops
• Masterclasses and bite-size learning
• Action learning set facilitation
• Team and 1-2-1 coaching for ongoing support

 

Above all, the Collaborative Leadership Academy exists to cultivate courageous leaders who can bridge divides, steward change, and nurture healthy, thriving communities. If you’re ready to grow yourself while growing your impact, we invite you to connect with us and explore how we can work together.

“For me, collaborative leadership means a real recognition of all people on a basic humanitarian level. Having a deep understanding and belief that everyone has the ability to take a lead and make a difference.”
