A leadership partnership designed for fast growing, ambitious agencies

Coaching & mentoring for senior executives carrying the weight of their role.

Why choose the Leadership Line?

Because agency life operates at speed, under scrutiny with little margin for error.

In that environment, leadership can’t rely on personality, good intentions or experience alone.

The Leadership Line gives leaders a clear behavioural lens for understanding what’s happening in real moments and how to respond with discernment rather than reaction. It helps teams communicate more clearly, hold expectations consistently and lead in a way that supports performance, culture and commercial outcomes at the same time.

This is leadership that works under pressure, not just in theory.

Leadership Line Index

A quick snapshot of how leadership shows up when it counts.
The Index is a short, practical quiz that reveals how your might be responding under pressure and what that means for delivery, communication, culture and commercial risk.

It highlights patterns that are already shaping outcomes and makes visible where you are operating above the line, on it or being pulled below it.

Leadership Workshops

Shared language and behaviours for teams.
Bespoke workshops that help teams align around behaviour, decision-making and responsibility so goals and expectations are clear and collaboration works in harmony through the lens of the business. Workshops can be tailored to your needs.

1:1 Partnership

A trusted space to think, decide and lead from above the line.
This is confidential, 1:1 support for senior leaders carrying responsibility for people, performance and outcomes.

Clients use this space to step back, think clearly and work through real situations with someone who understands agency life and the weight of leadership decisions. The focus is on trusted judgement, boundaries, emotional steadiness and making clearer choices under pressure.

Above the Line Programme

Learn to lead with impact in the moments that count.
The Above the Line Programme is a peer-based leadership academy for senior leaders inside creative, experiential and events agencies who are responsible for teams, delivery and commercial outcomes
