RISE Leadership Development Programme
Leadership that helps people thrive and teams succeed
Great performance comes from great leadership. Leaders shape culture, create alignment and build the conditions for people to thrive at work.
Yet many leadership programmes deliver insight without creating lasting change. RISE was designed as a behavioural change programme, grounded in real work, real challenges and real accountability, so development translates directly into how leaders lead.
RISE is Nua’s signature leadership programme, giving leaders the clarity, capability and confidence to lead people well and move the business forward.
We were looking for a programme that could bring our leadership group together and support their development after a significant organisational change. We used a blend of in-person workshops and 1-2-1 coaching across a 3-month period. We are delighted with the impact it has had. I have seen a real togetherness grow within that group with a noticeable improvement in collaboration on shared challenges. I have also sensed a growth in confidence in their leadership abilities and seen evidence of putting those skills into practice to enact real change within their teams.

How Rise works
RISE combines structured development with real-world application, so learning translates directly into day-to-day leadership.
- Interactive workshops: delivered in person or virtually and built around the six capability areas
- Group coaching: creates space for reflection, shared learning and peer support
- Real-world practice: leaders work on live challenges so learning transfers quickly
- Flexibility: programmes adapt as the group and organisation evolve
1:1 leadership coaching can be added to provide deeper individual support.
RISE can run as a 6–12 month programme or as standalone modules, depending on your organisation’s needs.
Who leads RISE
The programme is led by Mary and Chris, who bring a complementary blend of expertise. Mary specialises in designing and delivering impactful leadership development, while Chris draws on extensive recent senior leadership experience. Together, they combine practical insight with real-world credibility that resonates strongly with leaders.
Who RISE is for
RISE is designed for organisations that want leaders to:
- Lead with greater clarity and intention
- Develop shared language and alignment
- Collaborate more effectively
- Strengthen culture and performance
- Navigate change with confidence
It works equally well for newly promoted managers, experienced leaders and leadership cohorts going through growth or transformation.
