The Impact

The Authentic Leaders programme Marie has crafted, alongside our 1:1 sessions, has been a highlight of my professional career in recent years.

How it works

Three parts, working together.

A space away from the day-to-day, tailored 1:1 support, and challenges that bring the learnings into real working life.

01

Cohort workshops

A series of half-day sessions, in person. The cohort immerses themselves into leadership fundamentals – learning tools and honing their skills on each other.

02

1:1 coaching

Six remote coaching sessions per person, tailored to their individual goals and challenges. Personal development work that feeds into the cohort.

03

Embedding

Challenges set between workshops, so the tools get used in the day-to-day – then the learnings are shared back in the room.

Workshop topics

Leadership superskills.

Series of half-day workshops, each building a specific muscle – creating the awareness and skills to lead yourself, and others effectively.

Workshop 1 · Lead yourself

Awareness & emotional intelligence

Knowing your values, strengths and blind spots – and using that awareness to manage your emotions, not be run by them.

Personal ValuesSaboteursLeader Within

Workshop 2 · Lead others

Giving feedback & setting expectations

Being direct and assertive: setting expectations, giving real-time feedback, having hard conversations, delegating and taking action.

Confident leaders taking ownership

More senior in how they operate – solving problems themselves instead of escalating them.

Creating opportunities for team to grow

Building capacity in themselves and others – creating opportunities for their reports to learn and step up.

Capacity for hard conversations

Tools deployed in real, high-stakes moments – difficult feedback, contract calls, cross-team friction. Not just understood. Used.

Less self-doubt, more self-belief

More trust that they can handle whatever new challenge comes their way.

Calmer under pressure

Steadier, less reactive – a new calmness and ability to take challenging situations in their stride.

The Authentic Leaders Programme team, Rapha
A new sense of confidence and less need to ask for permission. It taught me that you don’t need to emulate other leaders to be a great leader – you can find the style that’s right for you. The 1:1 sessions also helped me challenge some ingrained limiting beliefs, avoid burnout, and take more risks.
Programme participant, Rapha
One of the biggest takeaways has been thinking about leadership as something innate that just needs to be drawn out, rather than a list of things to learn. Whenever I’m finding something challenging, it’s changed my outlook from ‘this is an area I’m not very good at’ to ‘I’m perfectly capable of doing this – it’s just about working on the areas I’m less experienced in.’
Programme participant, Rapha
I’ve been using the personal values I developed on the programme to shape how I guide my team – it’s changed how I show up as a leader day to day.
Matt, We Are Social Amsterdam
Marie’s coaching has been a refreshing and insightful experience – the practical tools have boosted my confidence in handling uncomfortable topics.
Georgia Kasmin, Rapha
It’s been instrumental to ensure I have the right language and process to follow.
Hamza, We Are Social Amsterdam
I have a new calmness to face challenging situations with confidence, and the cognition that I can navigate quite a lot – and when I can’t, I’m resourceful enough to seek the help I need.
Programme participant, Rapha
The overall programme has given me greater confidence in myself and my leadership approach.
Programme participant, Rapha
Marie helps you set the leadership foundations that are innate in you, and channel your strengths into work that stays faithful to your values.
Programme participant, Rapha
Understanding my values, and the friction created when different value systems collide, has helped me view others with more compassion.
