I don’t see leadership training as a perk—it’s a strategic investment. As new generations step into leadership roles, developing adaptable, emotionally intelligent leaders has never been more important. To help you, your team and your organization thrive, I will help your leaders grow personally and professionally as they promote responsible change and keep their teams adapting and and embracing the opportunities they will experience every day.Â

Benefits of leadership & new leadership development training for your organization and teams
Even natural leaders need to fine-tune their style and discover new opportunities to bring out the best in the people they work with… and work for. Being a great leader is a goal that never stops evolving.
We help leaders create a culture that offers employees an experience they want to be part of. Leadership training helps new and existing leaders learn how to successfully deliver the corporate strategy and corporate culture that brings out the best in themselves and their team. Our skills training course will teach:
-
The power of a shared vision, mission, and values:
A shared vision, mission and core values aligns employees, leaders, and clients toward common goals and a unified approach. This clarity promotes a sense of belonging and purpose, guiding behaviour and decision-making throughout a team and organization. Clearly defining your vision, mission and values will also strengthen the organization's identity.
-
How to build trust, respect, and authenticity:
When trust, respect and authenticity is prioritized, employees feel safe, knowing they are valued for their uniqueness and the contribution they make to the teams and organizations success. This supportive environment encourages open communication (including constructive feedback), as well as fresh, creative ideas.
-
The importance of leading with empathy and compassion:
Empathy and compassion in leadership drive meaningful connections and foster a supportive environment. They reach virtually every aspect of your work experience. Leaders who act with understanding and care motivate their teams at all times including when navigating challenges, giving praise, and recognizing greatness.
-
Employee safety and well-being best practices:
The very nature of work is being redefined right in front of us in real time. Prioritizing employee well-being means creating options for work-life balance as well as workplace culture where everyone feels safe, respected and can thrive as they take pride in their work and the company they work for.
-
How to support engagement, recognition, and growth:
One of the most effective ways to boost morale and loyalty is to ensure everyone feels recognized and appreciated for their achievements and hard work using zero-cost methods like intrinsic rewards and BMC’s C.A.R.P. model. In addition, providing access to mentorship and coaching, as well as training and development are key opportunities to build a culture of ongoing improvement and success and to boost employee retention.

Testimonial
See the difference inspired leadership skills development training makes
With just a week’s notice before our workshop, we urgently needed a speaker skilled in navigating difficult conversations. Despite attempts to find someone internally, we had to turn to an external expert. Luckily, Bruce was available on short notice, and we quickly collaborated to tailor the content specifically for our group.
Bruce led a focused workshop on managing difficult conversations and managing competing expectations among stakeholders. He engaged directly with our Digital Transformation and Operations Team, who frequently face complex situations.
Bruce demonstrated a deep understanding of our team’s needs by blending practical training with relevant theory. We also worked through five real-world scenarios that addressed diverse challenges, enabling participants to immediately apply the workshop’s insights to their daily work.
It was a pleasure to work with Bruce and to have him speak to our team. His flexibility and expertise were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend him!
Leadership training tips
Promote responsible change
Effective leadership requires our leaders explore and promote responsible change – within their client base, products & services and within their valued employees. Why? Because if you don't change you fall behind. Half the companies in the S&P500 today are different from the companies that were on it in 1999 (Source Sam Ro).
Support employees career goals
To increase employee loyalty, leaders support their employee’s carriers – not their employee’s jobs. A career satisfies a persons long-term needs and personal / professional growth. A job only satisfies immediate needs. Ask employees what their career goals are and explore how to meet those goals together (shared responsibility); there are many non-monetary rewards a valued employee may be interested in which will increase employee loyalty.
Embrace empathy to build trust
Be mindful to treat each moment with empathy and compassion… for yourself and others upon your pursuit of clear, definable and shared organizational goals. Leaders build trust by inspiring, motivating and trusting valued employees.

I hired Bruce Mayhew to facilitate a corporate training program for our district sales managers and senior team members.Â
The one-day training addressed: multigenerational training to help us understand and therefore adapt management styles according to age group, and Behavioural Event Interviewing (BEI), to help us find and hire the right people when interviewing.
Bruce provided enlightened corporate training that was appreciated by all. He was flexible with the timelines and encouraged conversation and questions throughout the training that deepened our understanding. We are applying methods learned during training and it gives us perspective on new hires. His after training cooperation was also greatly appreciated.Â
I have no hesitation in recommending Bruce's services to anyone. -

Bruce was one of three speakers we invited to present at a conference with 800 plus attendees. Bruce presented two different seminars – one on difficult conversations, and one on time management.
Bruce’s presentations were fun, informative, and he engaged the audience with relevant questions and practical examples. I'm happy to say we immediately began receiving great feedback from conference participants, clearly marking Bruce as a great addition to our speaker lineup. Bruce was very open to working with our team to create and deliver content that we knew our participants were searching for.Â
As a manager, I found that the day following his difficult conversations seminar, I was able to recall and successfully use some of the techniques he spoke of.Â
I would recommend Bruce for future speaking and training opportunities.

Bruce is an outstanding facilitator and people-connector.Â
IABC London worked with Bruce on a Professional Development event titled "The Changing Landscape of Work Environments." From my first communication with him, Bruce was quite simply easy to work with and professional - organized, thorough and prompt to reply.Â
On the day of our event he arrived early and formed a warm rapport with the speaker panel and those in the audience. He moderated our panel in a helpful and informative way that was respective of the audience's learning. I enjoyed the event immensely, and that is due to Bruce's leadership in bringing the panel of speakers together and bringing out their best insights.
Thank you Bruce for your contribution to IABC London.
