GROW YOUR PEOPLE TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
North Peak helps motivated people improve and excel. Because when people perform, businesses perform.
These experiential programmes are aimed at ‘logicians’ to support them in their development outside of their technical skills. They help people transition and perform in new roles, improve performance in existing roles, and advance development of their Emotional Intelligence and leadership capability. All North Peak programmes identify organisational and individual objectives to deliver a stronger individual performance, both for people and companies.
Emotional Intelligence is a vital success factor for those working in people-based organisations. Which is why a reliable and valid Emotional Intelligence assessment from Multi-Health Systems (EQ-i 2.0) is included in North Peak’s tools. EQ-i 2.0 assessment is available as part of all progammes.
North Peak brings together a wealth of business knowledge, coaching skill and specialist expertise, in the form of founder and fellow logician, Ade Lingard. Ade uses both proprietary and leading industry tools and techniques across all experiential programmes, working with business leaders to get results.
Because when you grow your people, you grow your business.
SOME OF THE PEOPLE NORTH PEAK SUPPORTS
DATA & ANALYTICAL TALENT
Data is a vital component in modern business. Talent is in demand. And the role data and analytical professionals play in organisations and our society now and in future is critical.
Whilst technical development for these specialists is a well-trodden path, supporting them outside this is less common. North Peak helps data and analytical professionals improve their performance outside their technical skillset, making them more powerful for themselves, in your organisation and in business and society generally.
FINANCE SPECIALISTS
For those working in the corporate finance sector or those with finance backgrounds working in people-centric businesses.
As with other technical specialisms, technical development is often well-supported in the field of finance. But the so called softer skills are often neglected. Yet relationship skills are vital to success in modern businesses. North Peak helps your people identify areas for development and improve their performance, consequently improving the performance of your business.
LEADERS & ASPIRING LEADERS
Exceptional leaders are key to the success of people-centric businesses. Those who seek constant improvement in their team and themselves deliver better and more sustainable results.
Influenced by business, sport, education and psychology, North Peak unlocks potential in executives, leaders and aspiring leaders to help them maximise their performance and in turn, business performance. EQ-i 2.0 helps assess leadership potential and derailment factors, with a scientific and proven assessment to aid further development.
TECHNICAL SPECIALISTS
For CTOs, CIOs, IT or Technology Directors, Senior Web Developers, Senior Software Engineers and more.
Stakeholder engagement and communication are increasingly important in our technology-driven world. The ability to manage relationships, develop commercial context and demonstrate understanding is essential to translate business needs into technical execution, and vice versa. North Peak supports technical professionals beyond their technical skills to do just that, with scientific and proven EQ-i 2.0 assessment aiding further development.

Last update - June 2025.
“I have always been a little dubious about coaching as it has never really worked for me or landed as effectively as I would have wanted. This all changed when I started to work with Ade, it was all about what I needed to hear and understand, not just running through a set of well-worn ideas, and this was key.
The whole programme made a big difference for me, and Ade’s style was just perfect for what I needed. Open and challenging questions which made me realise a lot of things I already knew and a lot that I didn’t. I honestly could not recommend this more highly, I have grown and got better and what I do, how I do it and how I manage myself through this. I think everyone would benefit from what Ade brings and the way he does it.”
