I start with the situation leaders are actually facing. We work through the thinking and conversations it requires, practise a useful response and agree what will happen next. The aim is to make learning visible in how people lead.
1
Understand the situation
Clarify the decision, the leadership level, the organisational context and what needs to change.
We agree a clear challenge and a useful definition of progress.
2
Practise the behaviour
Work through real conversations, decisions and situations with examples, reflection and feedback.
You leave with a rehearsed conversation, a better decision approach or a specific behaviour to practise.
3
Follow through
Agree ownership and how application will be reviewed in the real working context.
We agree a small set of commitments and a review point.
The right approach depends on the role. A leader preparing for executive responsibility may need to step back from operations and think more strategically. A manager building confidence may first need practical support with expectations, feedback and accountability.

Client stories
Recent work,in clients’ words.
A small selection from recent programmes, coaching and events.
Presentation coaching
Valterra Platinum
The situation
Professionals in Training (PITs) needed to present their technical and business projects to senior leadership at the symposium. The challenge was to turn complex technical work into compelling stories that made its significance and business value clear.
The work
Presentation masterclasses and individual coaching helped participants shape their stories, explain complex ideas clearly and present with confidence. Andrew also hosted the symposium as corporate MC, connecting the presentations and guiding the day’s conversations.
In their words
The quality of the presentations on the day reflected the impact of his coaching, and the event ran smoothly under his facilitation.

Executive development
BancABC Zimbabwe
The situation
The bank was preparing 16 candidates for positions on its executive committee.
The work
An executive development programme I designed and delivered for the group, including leadership assessment.
In their words
The engagement was handled professionally and with appropriate confidentiality. We found Andrew responsive, well prepared and easy to work with.
We are pleased to recommend Andrew Tsuro & Associates to any organisation seeking training, leadership development and consultancy services.

Communication development
Unilever Food Solutions South Africa
The situation
Client-facing staff found it hard to express themselves clearly and be understood by stakeholders. It was affecting client relationships and their confidence to take on new opportunities.
The work
A team development workshop, then presentation and communication masterclasses within the Speechcraft programme.
In their words
The sessions were practical, and participants left with skills and tools they could apply immediately.

I would highly recommend this programme to anyone looking to strengthen their leadership effectiveness. It provided practical insights on self-awareness, feedback, coaching, and delegation, while encouraging reflection on how we lead and develop others
For an engaging and confident MC, Andrew is your man.
Carmen WrightEducation & Training Manager, SAIPA
A point of view
Leadership development loses its value when every level is taught the same lesson.
A leader preparing for executive responsibility may need to step back from operations and think strategically. A manager building the foundations may need to engage more deliberately with everyday expectations, feedback and accountability.
