Meyler Campbell Digest: October 2022

Each month we share the latest from Meyler Campbell in our @MEYLER CAMPBELL section; we also let you know all the news from the community and details of upcoming CPD and how you can book your place.  Featured each month in our LE@RN section, we share a range of curated resources which we have found and hope you will find useful and interesting.  If you have any suggestions on content or news for upcoming Digest issues, please contact info@meylercampbell.com

MASTERED
Our Mastered Programme is world-renowned as a top business coaching offering for leaders. We are continuously taking on new participants and commencing new syndicates throughout the year. The bespoke offering of face-to-face, virtual, or a hybrid of both, means that we can match you to syndicates with the same interests and aspirations for the programme. We continue to seek the broadest and most diverse representation across our community, and we currently have a gap and are actively seeking male participants for the Mastered Programme.

OPEN UNLEASHED
The Unleashed programme was designed as an in-house programme for individuals who have a leadership role which would be significantly enhanced by the ability to coach in a peer to peer, line, or client setting. The learning cycle of the programme is rooted in the application of learning in practice, regular feedback and observation, reading and self-reflection followed by further practice. Did you know that we also run an Open Unleashed programme? And we are now inviting applications for the next Open Unleashed Programme, commencing early 2023.

If you, or if anyone you know, may be interested in participating in our any of our programmes, please contact info@meylercampbell.com or call our office on +44 (0)20 8460 4790 and a member of the team will be happy to offer further information.
