The moment you call us in
Heads of L&D and HRDs in UK professional services firms call Lequin in a small number of recognisable moments. A founder led business is scaling and the leadership team that built it is being asked to operate a different company. A private equity investor has taken a position and the partner group is now accountable to a board that expects governance, reporting and clear succession. A sale process is opening in 18 months and the business needs to look mid sized before the data room does. A practice has grown past the size the founders can hold in their heads and the corporate functions have to land without losing the culture. These are leadership behaviour problems, not training problems. They sit underneath the strategy and they show up in how the senior team operates day to day.
Trusted by senior leaders inside
Leadership teams and partner cohorts inside these UK professional services and real estate businesses have brought Lequin in for executive coaching, team coaching and leadership development.
Featured engagement
Lequin partnered with SEGRO following the merger of two major property companies, supporting the organisation as it integrated teams and established a shared approach to leadership across the UK business.
Our work focused on executive coaching for the organisation's most senior leaders, including the entire UK Board, helping them navigate increased responsibility, lead organisational change and develop leadership styles that reflected both their individual strengths and SEGRO's values. Given the seniority of the leaders involved, confidentiality and careful coach matching were central to the programme. Working closely with the Managing Director and HR Director, we developed tailored executive coaching objectives for each individual before matching them with one of Lequin's executive coaches through a structured chemistry process.
The executive coaching supported leaders to communicate change with greater confidence, build stronger leadership capability across the newly integrated organisation and create a more aligned and effective senior leadership team during a significant period of organisational transition.
How our three pillars apply
We'll send a written summary within 48 hours and tell you if we're the right fit.
Before booking
Yes. Our Network N engagement covered the transition from owner led start up to a more structured, scalable mid sized business preparing for sale. The work included restructuring, the introduction of corporate functions such as HR, and the development of clearer governance and strategic review processes. Our role tends to sit alongside the corporate development workstream, focused on the senior team behaviour that decides whether the new operating model lands.
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.
