Our Leadership and Management programmes are not just off-the-shelf solutions. They are tailor-made to fit your unique organisation and its specific needs and environment, ensuring every attendee's sense of relevance and personalisation.
They include many aspects of our stand-alone workshops, so you can pick and mix the ingredients you want to effect the change you wish to see from the outcomes.
We thread your values into our programme to ensure they are inculcated through every workshop and into the minds of all attendees. This helps embed them into everyday thinking and ensures everyone knows why they are critical to your organisation's success.
We extend a warm invitation to all Leaders and Managers, irrespective of their hierarchical position or role, to attend this programme. This inclusivity is a testament to our belief that everyone, from the executive team to the newly promoted Manager or Leader, plays a crucial role in your organisation's success by using the same principles when managing and leading their people.
Our workshops do not sugarcoat the truth. We say what we mean to ensure clarity and recognition of why the ingredients matter. We do not pick out individuals, we do not embarrass, and many discussions are conducted in groups of three. Those groups then come together to share their thoughts and opinions and learn from each other. This ensures that all voices are heard, all ideas considered, and all challenges shared and addressed as a committed organisation.
Accountability and responsibility feature in our sessions. Our facilitator is accountable and responsible for ensuring professionalism and honesty; we expect the same from all participants. You are investing in them; in return, they will invest with commitment, effort and diligence.
“If you stop trying to please others and just do the right thing,
with authenticity, transparency, and integrity,
you will win the hearts and minds of those about you organically.”
LENGTH - For more information about duration, please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.
Who? - All those who lead or manage others and those who will be in the near future (the next 12 months) unless you already have an aspiring leaders programme.
Why? - Most people interested in such a programme are reading this because they already know why it is critical. More often than not, you are trying to decide who to talk to about it.
Those who know people know how different we all are, how political shenanigans cause havoc with open and honest conversations, how people are too afraid to speak out, and how trust is desperately sought after but sadly not yet present. They also know that all this needs 'fixing.' At LaPD Solutions, it’s what we do.
Organisations that realise their most important resource is their people will also realise they must invest in them to ensure consistency, lived values, and behavioural excellence. Only then will they attain the best possible success and profit margin.

When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.
We strongly recommend groups of three up to a maximum of 12 and no more. We can "occasionally" make exceptions.
On the Train the Trainer, it is a maximum of 6 people due to each person delivering their training sessin, the video recording and individual feedback on the last day.
This depends on what outcomes you wish to see from attendees after the training has had time to be put to use in the workplace and session and on the topics you want us to include.
On average, this ranges from 7 to 10 sessions.
No, our prices include ALL of our expenses. So the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
1. We offer lifetime short post-event support for all our events for up to two years.
2. Our reputation is built and maintained by ensuring you attain the ROI you need. Our post-event support helps you achieve this.
3. We offer bolt-on sessions at a reduced rate as required for up to one year.
4. Our pricing is all-inclusive, ensuring you won't be surprised by additional expenses.
5. Mac Macdonald (our lead facilitator) has extensive hands-on experience in all types of organisations and industries, including his military service, where he taught leadership, management, train the trainer and communication skills.
6. Fully downloadable online PDF handouts for your workshops, courses and programmes which are regularly updated.
7. Our delivery style is not a lecture but a series of in-depth discussions on the topics, ensuring what we deliver to your people isn't just informative but also relevant to their working environment.
8. For organisations with neurodiverse (ND) colleagues, Mac Macdonald will always deliver your events, as he is diagnosed as autistic (high functioning) and can personally relate to ND people and their needs.
9. Mac attained his master's in how emotional intelligence impacts leadership and management.
10. We directly fund our own charity, FLOW for ALL (Forces Literary Organisation Worldwide for ALL).
Whilst initially focussed on serving military and veterans, the charity now supports anyone impacted by PTSD from any trauma and other mental issues by writing, sharing, and commenting on each other's work.
