Your Deepsky Journey

Understanding ground truth
Understanding where we’re starting from and where we want to be is crucial.
In this first phase, we set the foundations by working closely with you to examine the requirements of your business, key sponsors or stakeholders, and the individual leaders themselves. Identifying the gaps can be done internally if you run your own assessments, or supported by us, and could be anything from a pre-existing development area required for the next career level, to a more elusive leadership quality which is yet to be pinpointed.

Mission success criteria
Next, we target individual (and/or team) needs, and identify the critical moments in which high performance is essential and will have the most positive effect. These needs are dependent on the experience and requirements of those specifically involved.
From here, we can confirm the mission success criteria, and fully understand the measurable deliverables of your Deepsky journey.

The leadership lab
With the Ground Truth established, and the needs targeted, we then move into the Leadership Lab phase – this is where the magic happens.
We will set the foundations and begin to build, initially focusing on mindset and strengths. New skills and behaviours are introduced through experiential learning, ensuring sustainable growth from the inside out.
We teach, coach and mentor. Dependent on the situation, this could include peer support, gamification and techniques from the world of high performance, to ensure the development of the corporate elite athlete. Identifying specific critical moments allows us to keep this context driven and relevant to your business. Reflective work and forward planning will utilise real-work examples and make the best use of time.

The leadership simulator
Perhaps the strongest phase for sustained growth is the Leadership Simulation phase. This is where we put all of the new skills and behaviours into practice. Again, making best use of your context and addressing your specific business challenges.
We will rehearse, role play and wargame; bringing the training to life, immersing you in your upcoming critical moments to ensure you have the confidence and ability to go out and perform at your best when you need it most.

Perform in critical moments
At Deepsky we recognise that although leaders always need to be on their game, there are critical moments when the positive impact will give an exponential added value.
It is by performing at their best in these Critical Moments that Leaders have the most impact. Some of these moments are known, can be identified and fully prepared for; others will be unforeseen and uncertain.
We will ensure that you are ready for everything you know about and anything you don’t. Your performance will also provide immediate feedback on your development, offering measurable results and bear witness to your success.
