Leadership Development Programmes Incorporating Falconry
The High Flyers Programme
WE ALSO RUN HIGH FLYERS AS IN-HOUSE TAILORED PROGRAMMES TO MEET SPECIFIC ORGANISATIONAL NEEDS AND GOALS, PLEASE CONTACT US TO DISCUSS YOUR REQUIREMENTS
For over 4000 years falconry has been used as training for Princes and leaders. According to leading falconry expert Nick Fox ‘it is the most senior of the hunting sports because it is the most difficult and the most challenging’. Birds of prey have no instinct to obey a leader. It is only through the skills of the falconer that the partnership of human and bird can achieve exceptional performance. Through working with birds of prey we can enhance our understanding of and the skills needed for truly effective leadership.
Who will benefit from the programme?
This one day programme enhances the ability to influence, inspire, motivate and communicate, leading to greater individual and organisational performance. It is ideal for those who aspire to be leaders and are currently in, or are new to, management positions.
Programme objectives.
Enhance your understanding of:
the principles of leadership.

the influence of emotion on individual and organisational performance.
These objectives form the core of Falconry. Through experiential learning, working with the Falconer and Birds of Prey, you will increase your performance as a leader, thus impacting on individual and organisational success.
Programme outline
The programme starts with an introduction to the day’s events and the concepts of leadership. This is followed by a morning session spent with the falconers introducing and handling a range of different birds of prey. Then we apply the skills of the falconer to the world of the business leader. After lunch we meet the Eagles and learn about what makes them tick before applying this to the world of business.
You may even meet a White Tailed Sea Eagle

Leadership development
We offer a number of approaches to Leadership Development including one-to-one coaching, open Master-classes and full and extensive programmes which often include an element of academic study.
When delivering leadership development programmes we work closely with client organisations to align our work to their organisational culture, organisational goals and strategy, 
the individual needs of participants, previous interventions used and current HR policies. Our clients engage in ownership of the development process to enable its continuance long after individual projects and our intervention has concluded. This approach provides value for money over the period of the project and long into the future.
Our cutting-edge programmes include: diagnostic assessments, events, workshops, one-to-ones, action learning and other interventions using the most up-to-date theories, research findings and applied experience. The managers and teams involved not only develop leadership knowledge, skills and abilities to improve individual, team and organisational performance, they have the ability to develop the knowledge, skills and abilities of others within their organisations leading to a culture of excellence.
Our belief in a process of continuous improvement for our clients, selves, and the programmes we deliver, becomes evident in the details of development proposals. An on-going review and evaluation process is included. However, we carry this out in line with any current evaluation or audit procedures. It is important to point out our programmes are, by the nature of the development process, flexible. 
The framework of any programme we deliver can only be finalised through detailed discussion and working in partnership with our clients.
Our expertise in leadership development, Emotional Intelligence, development of Transformational and Authentic Leadership, and our reputation for delivering excellence, make us ideal providers of your Leadership Development Programmes.
We run ‘open’ and in-house programmes predominantly within SMEs and Third Sector organisations. For programmes in large public or private sector organisations, and for programmes with an element of academic study such as MBA, we work closely with Liverpool John Moore’s University.
