A Corporate Partnership will help you:
✅ Anchor senior leaders with real world skills to navigate global change
✅ Engage employees through meaningful development opportunities
✅ Activate fresh skills with our unique boardroom offer
✅ Drive retention and plug leaky pipelines by investing in people, not just processes
Delivered by our expert team of diverse senior professionals who bring their lived experiences of career and board success, our offer creates lasting cultural and behavioural change whether you’re dealing with leaky talent pipelines or senior leaders floundering with a sea of never-ending change.
Our research-based content combines with our team’s real-life experience to create a powerful and inspiring combination.
We don’t tell your talent how to manage their careers but equip them with the information they need to reach their own potential. We inspire engaged and motivated employees, who drive success for themselves and your organisation.
How we develop leaders for the real world
We take the time to understand your organisation’s challenges, culture and workforce to shape a package that will support your specific goals and budget. Based around our extensive range of talks and workshops, your package will include the critical elements you need to support, develop and retain your employees.
Plus, all our packages include membership of the UK’s most impactful NED network and access to the meaningful development opportunities via career-enhancing benefits of a community board role. This gives your employees access to our tried and tested boardroom support which has seen one of our members gain a board role every day.
A proven track record in delivering impactful leadership and talent solutions.
Our decade-long track record of working with a wide range of organisations, across all sectors, has equipped us with the insight and agility to design leadership and development solutions that work for the real world. And many of our Corporate Partners have worked with us throughout this time.
Why? Our impact on employees and their careers is tangible, effective and popular!
- Quality content – Our content draws on current research from leading business schools, global consultancies and academics to identify what really works in careers and leadership.
- Depth of expertise – We do not use ‘trainers’, but rather we work with senior professionals and board members to deliver our high-quality content – which they further enhance with their own lived experience.
- Evidenced impact – Our Impact Reports detail the interactions and support your employees have accessed during our Partnership. We keep in touch with them through our membership network, so you gain a rich insight into your employees’ career development.
- Practical inspiration – Our ethos encourages employees to take charge of their own careers and find opportunities on community boards to implement leadership strategy skills, giving them the tools to do so effectively.

- Popular and welcomed – We receive incredibly positive feedback from our workshop attendees and network members. A Corporate Partnership with WB Directors is one highly valued ‘employee benefit’!
Tracy Watkinson was at a pivotal stage in mid-senior management in her career when we met her at one of our in-house workshops. Through this session, she revitalised her ambition and identified a need to build her networking and influencing skills, which she did with our recommendations and resources. We also planted the seed of joining a community board alongside her day job.
Javid Hamid, a Partner at KPMG, was inspired to pursue a charity board position after hearing from us about the societal impact trustees can contribute to. Through our ‘Building a Board Career’ framework, Javid aligned his passion for the arts and promoting social change with a trusteeship.
