Sectors

We work the leadership behaviour that sits underneath the strategy in five UK sectors.

Sector context shapes the leadership conversation more than most providers acknowledge. The triggers, the regulators, the operating models and the language are different in financial services than in media, retail or energy. Choose the page closest to your sector.

Why sector matters

Written from the inside of the sector

Most leadership development providers work the same content everywhere and leave the client to do the translation. We do not.

Leadership behaviour in a regulated bank under integration pressure is not the same as leadership behaviour in a retailer reshaping its store estate, or in an energy business holding safety culture through a regulator decision. The trigger events are different. The senior team conversation is different. The language the L&D function uses with the exec is different.

Each sector page is written from the inside of that sector, with named clients, real engagement shapes and the conversations that actually define leadership in that operating context.

The five sectors

Financial Services

For banks, insurers and building societies that have run the training already. 19 years inside BNP Paribas CIB. Senior populations at HSBC Private Bank, RBS, National Australia Bank, Skipton, Lloyd's of London, Zurich, AXA and Capita.

Energy & Utilities

For the senior teams running operational delivery through regulator decisions, PE acquisitions and net zero rollout. 14 years inside EDF across six business units. Multi year engagements at RWE, Enfinium, Northland Power, Welsh Water, Calisen and Cory.

Media

For media teams in permanent structural change. Multi year team and 1:1 coaching inside the BBC. Leadership work at Future Publishing that lifted senior leadership retention by 15% in a single year.

FMCG & Retail

For retailers and consumer brands where the change has to land at every layer. George at ASDA, PepsiCo, B&Q, Debenhams and Clarks. Behavioural change that holds from the boardroom to the store floor.

Professional Services & Real Estate

For firms scaling from owner led to sale ready. Senior populations at Network N, Towers Watson and Christie's. We work the leadership behaviour that has to evolve when a founder led business becomes a structured operating model.

Not seeing your sector?

The leadership behaviour problem is usually familiar

We work most often in the five sectors above because that is where the named tenure and the case studies sit.

If your business is outside these sectors but the leadership behaviour problem looks familiar, a restructure, an acquisition, managers that need upskilling, a senior team that has to operate differently, the discovery call is the right place to start.

Where to start

Most engagements with Lequin begin one of two ways. Both are free or fixed price. Neither starts with a sales pitch.

Option one

The 30-minute discovery call

A 30-minute call with Peter or Marie, depending on whether you're closer to the training or coaching question. We ask eight questions about your leadership challenge and what's happened so far, then send a written summary within 48 hours, including whether we think we're the right fit.

Option two

The £1,500 pilot workshop

A 90-minute online workshop for up to 12 of your leaders. Choose one topic from our list. We lead the session, your people take part, you watch the work. If we're the wrong fit, we'll tell you and you keep the materials. Most pilots happen within 6 weeks of booking.
