The Leadership Lab Series

Leadership capability for the future of work.

The world of work is changing fast.

AI is reshaping how work gets done. Teams are leaner. Expectations are higher. And the leaders who thrive in this next era will not just be technically capable. They will know how to communicate, influence, adapt and lead people through uncertainty.

The Leadership Lab Series is designed for founders, leaders, managers and ambitious humans working inside fast-growing companies.

Not theory. Not corporate fluff. Practical leadership capability designed for the realities of modern work.

Delivered by culture transformation specialist Hiam Sakakini, executive coach Abbie Boulter and communications strategist Cayla Dengate, each session combines practical tools, real-world leadership insight and live application across topics like growth mindset, accountability, communication, storytelling and leadership presence.

You’ll leave with:

  • Practical tools you can apply immediately

  • Greater confidence in how you lead and communicate

  • Stronger self-awareness and leadership presence

  • Real-world frameworks for navigating modern work

  • A peer cohort of ambitious professionals growing alongside you

What Makes The Leadership Labs Different:

  • Built for fast-growing companies and modern workplaces

  • Short, practical and immediately applicable

  • Cross-company cohort model that expands thinking and connection

  • Facilitated by The Culture Equation

  • Grounded in real leadership challenges, not outdated theory

  • Designed to help people lead with both performance and humanity

"Great course! Very practical. Loved the short format. It was good having a smaller group and great to hear other company perspectives"

Clarissa Driver, Head of People & Culture, Archer Materials Ltd

"First-time managers struggle with the transition from individual contributor to manager. It is one of the hardest leadership shifts. I think all these topics align with modern leadership frameworks (psychological safety, adaptive leadership) and are highly topical."
