Ithaca Leadership is one of the few South African coaching businesses to provide The Leadership Circle expertise. Creina Schneier is a Certified Leadership Circle Coach.

Understanding that great leadership is a complex mix of competency and inner states of being, the Leadership Circle assessment tool measures both the inner and outer aspects of leadership.

The Leadership Circle is unrivalled in its ability to offer a concise, pertinent 360° developmental feedback for individual leaders and their teams. Insights gained can be applied to optimise leadership team relationships and more consciously and intentionally influence organisational culture.

“Leadership is the ability to make others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.”

It was clear that there were many areas of alignment as a good foundation on which to build. We left the workshop having made tangible inroads into how we will work together in our new endeavours.”
