Relational Leaders

Develop the leadership communication skills that will transform the way you lead, not just what you do.

Empower your leadership skills

Busy schedules and jam-packed caseloads can make even the strongest leaders struggle with connecting. We at OnePlusOne want to help you. In response to today’s challenges, we have developed an evidence-driven CPD-accredited training course that will allow you learn how to overcome barriers, enhance emotional competence, and encourage an empathetic workplace.  

It has never been harder to be a leader – this is why investing in your skills is so important.

Empower your leadership skills

Lead beyond management

Invest in your skills as a leader - because leadership is more than just managing.

The reality of leadership pressure

Tight schedules. Heavy caseloads. Not enough time to lead effectively.

Building relational leaders

This CPD-accredited course helps you break communication barriers, strengthen emotional skills, and build empathy under pressure.

Why Relational leaders is the right course for you

Have you noticed these issues in your team?

  • Disengaged teams and personality clashes impacting collaboration and morale.

  • Communication breakdowns creating conflict instead of connection.

  • Toxic and stressful work cultures and environments.

  • Overwhelmed staff with service users feeling unheard and unseen.

In stressful workplaces, teams are often left feeling undervalued, unfulfilled, and directionless. Relational leaders gives you the tools to rise above the tension, sort through the chaos, and lead with clarity and purpose.

What makes Relational leaders unique?

Most leadership courses teach you core skills – but what happens when you arrive in the real world and those skills suddenly don’t fit?  

Using our unique relational capability framework, Relational leaders teaches you a new way of thinking so that you can actually use your skills in your everyday life. No matter the situation you’ll know WHICH skills to use, WHEN to use them, HOW to adapt them, and WHY context matters.

A good leader only knows how to communicate. A relational leader knows how to get the best out of every interaction – not just at work, but in all areas of life.
