Introducing NewlandRock
We typically work with three groups of clients:
1. Leaders in transition:
We assist decision-making executives at a pivotal point in their leadership, offering 1:1 assessment and coaching to enhance their effectiveness and impact through change, growth and complexity.
2. Leadership teams transitioning to their next level of impact:
We blend personal, professional, and organisational aspirations into interconnected, forward-focused, immersive, high-performing team interventions. We assess and coach teams to achieve their strategic goals, improve trust, gain alignment, and develop a more robust cascading culture.
3. Organisations that must future-proof themselves with the right talent strategy:
The talent within your organisation is the heartbeat of bringing your strategy to life. Our evidence-based design thinking expertise harmonises talent and organisational effectiveness by weaving desired culture, company values, and defined competencies into succession planning and build-or-buy strategies. This holistic, behavioural science-led approach uncovers actionable insights that inspire sustainable growth through your talent.
What's unique to NewlandRock is our independent programme design and holistic approach. An immersive experience linking leadership theory and principles to practical application which combines decades of behavioural science expertise, incorporates high-performing team thought leadership, such as Lencioni, Hackman, Goldman and Boyatzis, inside out coaching skills and a mental fitness focus, meaning NewlandRock solutions are truly transformative, driving business impact.

- Reset and align the teams voice
By working with teams to develop and enhance strategies to achieve success in these core areas, we can foster a culture of collaboration that drives collective success and business impact.
From the first day to the last, our signature program unfolds with purpose. The team opens hearts and minds to envision their leadership growth, empowering one another to explore the diverse strategies they can employ together to reach new heights.
These elements unite during our time together, empowering the team to advance with a clear vision of their renewed purpose, identity, and strategic priorities.
