Unscripted Leadership

“Squash workshops are powerful, thought-provoking, and truly drive change. Working on these topics with Rachel and her team was such a valuable experience, and seeing the real impact these sessions have has been incredible.”

- Anthony Magee, Head of Performance and Insight at Xero.

Employees looks to leadership on how to lead and navigate the workplace. The way leaders communicate and act shapes the culture and sets expectations. When they lead with openness, foster inclusive conversations, prioritise fairness and address bias, they build trust. This creates a workplace where people feel valued, attracting top talent and encouraging employees to stay and grow.

Unscripted Leadership delivers this through interactive, fishbowl discussions. We use real-world, workplace scenarios, brought to life by actors, to start important discussions around issues like DEI, psychological safety and inclusive leadership.

Through tailored, actor-led scenarios, leaders engage in open, honest dialogue on key workplace issues - making these topics relatable and actionable. Employees watch and interact through live polls and chat, ensuring everyone’s voice is heard and valued.

This webinar-style format builds trust, promotes inclusive leadership and improves employee engagement by showing leaders in real-time discussions, modelling empathy and vulnerability. 

Why it works:

  • Develops leadership empathy and decision-making skills through real-world challenges.

  • Brings workplace issues to life with tangible, employee-voted scenarios, sparking company-wide conversations.

  • Positions leaders at the centre - role-modelling vulnerability and actively shaping culture.

  • Uses drama to create an emotional connection, making the impact of bias and exclusion deeply felt.

  • Delivers actionable takeaways, equipping leaders with tools to drive real change.

  • Strengthens employee trust and psychological safety, fostering a more inclusive workplace.
