The moment you call us in
Most Heads of L&D in media call us in the same week something has shifted. Two mastheads have been merged. A division has been restructured around digital. A new editorial or commercial leader has stepped into an expanded role and the team underneath them has not caught up. Audience is fragmenting faster than the operating model, and the senior team is being asked to lead through change that nobody put on a slide. Retention in creative leadership is fragile because the talent is portable and the alternatives are visible. Cross functional alignment between editorial, commercial and product is harder than the org chart suggests. That is the moment we are usually called in.
Trusted by senior leaders inside

Featured engagement
Lequin partnered with Network N during its transition from an owner-led start-up into a more structured, scalable mid-sized business preparing for sale. As the organisation grew, the leadership team needed to evolve from an entrepreneurial way of operating towards a more aligned and commercially sustainable model. Our work supported the business through restructuring, the introduction of key corporate functions such as HR, and the development of clearer governance and strategic review processes.
The focus throughout was on helping the leadership team step back from reactive day-to-day management and build a stronger culture, clearer accountability and a more cohesive way of leading the organisation through growth and transition. Engagement combined facilitated leadership sessions and team coaching across the senior population.

We'll send a written summary within 48 hours and tell you if we're the right fit.
Before booking
Yes. Our BBC work was inside the property and workplace leadership teams during organisational change. Our Future Publishing work focused on senior leadership retention. We work the leadership dynamics that show up in media organisations under commercial and structural pressure: cross-functional alignment, retention of senior talent, and the behaviour shifts required when the operating model moves.
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
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.
Book a 30-minute callOption two
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.
