Talent Accelerator Programmes

Accelerate the Leaders
Your Future Depends On

The pressures on today’s leadership pipelines are real — from shaky succession depth to stalled diversity progress and promotion gaps you won’t see on a 9-box grid. Shape Talent’s Talent Accelerator suite helps you get ahead of those risks, by turning high-potential into high-readiness.

Designed for mid-to-senior talent, our programmes surface hidden leadership capability, build promotion readiness, and strengthen inclusion in your succession pipeline — all without compromising on quality, impact or alignment to your business goals.

Whether you're unlocking underrepresented talent, developing technically brilliant experts into people leaders, or accelerating individuals through pivotal transitions, our evidence-based programmes deliver the leaders your future depends on.

We provide a range of Talent Accelerator solutions

Coaching Enhancers Turn learning into momentum.

Our optional coaching add-ons extend the power of each programme through focused 1:1 or group coaching - helping participants deepen insight, overcome blockers, and embed new behaviours in real-time.

Choose from six hours of individual coaching delivered at the point of need, or join a facilitated Coaching Circle: a high-trust, peer-driven group experience designed to build confidence, connection and accountability. Group Circles continue for six months post-programme - ensuring sustained development, long after the formal modules end.

Whether supporting critical transitions or embedding growth, our coaching enhances capability and retention - without increasing delivery burden on your team.
