Future‑proof your career with people‑skills mastery
Project Leadership Programme (PLP)
What separates the best PMs from the rest is leadership behaviour - how you handle a difficult sponsor, build trust in a new team, and make your case with confidence. PLP gives you techniques you can use on your current and future initiatives.
AI is already automating the parts of project management that were always process - scheduling, status reporting, tracking. What it can't do is read a room, hold a difficult sponsor conversation, or build trust under pressure. Those are the interpersonal skills this programme builds - the parts of your role that become more valuable, not less, as AI takes on the process work. No template or checklist teaches this.
PLP is APM-aligned - so it maps to a standard you already recognise - delivered in small cohorts with 1-1 coaching built in, delivered by a practitioner with real programme leadership experience.
Individuals - See below for available cohorts to join. Introductory pricing of £500 for Nov/Dec/Jan cohorts.

Feedback
"Andy has really helped me develop in my project management role, having shifted from a facilitator to a leader position, making me more professional and definitely better at my job. Andy has supported me working through difficult situations and reframing things in my head. He has provided a safe space for guidance and support when I have needed it, which is invaluable. I feel more able to tackle whatever comes next! "

"Andy is a calm, trusted and highly experienced project delivery leader. He helped me work through complex transformation and delivery challenges, balancing empathy with constructive challenge and practical delivery insight. His mentoring style creates the space to think clearly, build confidence and find pragmatic ways forward through complex situations.

"Andy made me feel relaxed and safe to talk about things. I found he got out of me what the underlying issue or concern I had was. He never jumped to answering the issue for me but instead managed to talk me into ideas myself.. he's clearly very experienced as then overlaid my ideas with things I may have not thought about. Overall, I consider Andy as someone who I truly trust to pour out my feelings and concerns with the expectation of it being a really valuable conversation and helping me genuinely improve."
