About BOLD
Leadership development should change the way you think, not simply add to what you know.
BOLD is a leadership development practice built around a clear proposition: better leadership starts with better thinking.
We work with leaders and organisations to examine the assumptions, habits and patterns shaping how they lead - particularly when responsibility, pressure and complexity increase.
OUR VIEW OF LEADERSHIP
Leadership is not simply a collection of skills to learn.
The way a leader responds, decided, communicates and influences others is shaped by what sits underneath - their assumptions, habits, beliefs and patterns of thinking.
Under pressure those patterns become even. ore influential. Leaders move faster. They rely on what they already believe. They react before they’ve had time to examine what its driving the reaction.
That is why BOLD treats leadership as a thinking discipline.
We create the space for leaders to slow down, examine what is shaping their leadership and make more deliberate choices about what they do next.
You can’t lead beyond the quality of your thinking.
Behind BOLD
Victoria Barkway
Founder | Leadership Practitioner
For more than 25 years, Victoria has worked in and around leadership, people development and organisational change - first within organisations and since establishing BOLD, alongside leaders and teams across a wide range of workplaces.
Her work has included leadership development programmers, coaching, facilitation and long term organisation partnerships, from people stepping into leadership for the first time through to experienced and senior leaders navigating greater complexity and responsibility.
BOLD’s approach has grown out of that work. Again and again the most significant shifts have not come from giving leaders another model o=r telling them what to do. they have come from helping leaders examine how they are thinking - the assumptions they are making, the patterns they repeat, and the choices available to them.
That experience sits behind BOLD’S belief that leadership is a thinking discipline.
