Developing managers, professionals and teams
Herk Consulting designs leadership and capability development programmes for managers, professionals and teams, with a focus on the everyday people challenges that affect how work gets done.
Organisations need more than technical expertise. People also need to communicate clearly, lead others, work across functions, manage stakeholders and build productive relationships with people who may have different priorities or perspectives.

Designed for experienced professionals
Corporate learners may already have encountered some of the concepts being taught. The value of the programme is not always in introducing another model. It is often in helping people apply familiar ideas when the situation is less straightforward.
The learning is designed around that difference.
A coaching model may be simple. Having a useful coaching conversation with someone who is defensive is harder. A stakeholder map may be familiar. Deciding how to influence a senior stakeholder with different priorities requires judgement.
