Purple Oak partners with organizations
Leadership isn’t what it used to be ,the pace is faster. The pressures are deeper. The external landscape keeps shifting quietly, relentlessly.
And leaders, they’re holding it all together… often walking a tightrope between serving the organization and supporting the individual, between performance and well-being, influence and authenticity, ambition and burnout.
If you’re here, perhaps you’re sensing that something needs to shift. Maybe your organization is growing quickly, and leaders are being stretched thin. Or perhaps you’re seeking to nurture a culture rooted in inclusion, resilience, and psychological safety – not just everyday efficiency and effectiveness.
At Purple Oak, we walk alongside organizations navigating these very thresholds. With roots in global corporate experience and a deep focus on leadership development, we offer coaching, facilitation, and assessments that help your people grow, not just in title, but in impact, clarity, and authenticity.
Strengthening Leadership Skills at a Legal Consulting Firm
A prominent legal consulting firm invited us to partner with them on a leadership development. journey for their mid-to-senior teams. While their people brought deep expertise, they were looking to strengthen core skills that would help them navigate today’s changing corporate landscape.
I facilitated a series of modules under the leadership effectiveness umbrella, including Influencing without Authority, Emotional Intelligence, Executive Presence, and Communication Basics. Each session was designed to be experiential, blending real-world examples, role plays, and reflective discussions to keep the learning practical and personal. The Net Promoter Score came in at 80+, sign not just of satisfaction, but of meaningful change.
At the close of the program, the head of L&D shared their experience;
“These were insightful and valuable sessions which helped the participants develop and hone their skills. The use of real-life examples and role plays were key to the success of the program. The style of training enabled maximum participation and led to an immersive, hands-on great learning experience.”
Coaching for Transition at a Global Non-Profit
For a multi-country donor platform, we partnered on a coaching program for mid-senior professionals navigating new roles in their fast-paced, mission-driven start-up.
Many had transitioned from corporate careers into the nonprofit space, bringing rich experience, but also learning on the go. Coaching offered them a space to pause, reflect, and lead with clarity in an unfamiliar terrain.
The organization saw value early on, renewing the engagement twice over two years to support multiple cohorts. I deeply appreciated the HR team’s commitment to holding space for their people during such pivotal transitions. It’s where growth truly begins.
360° assessment & Leadership Coaching at a High-Growth Tech Startup
At a US-based tech startup that went public within seven years of inception, I am currently working on a 360° assessment and coaching engagement for their mid-senior/senior leadership team.
The company scaled rapidly, fuelled by a culture of meritocracy, excellence, and entrepreneurship. But with that came the familiar startup challenge -ambitious goals, lean structures, and leaders growing alongside the business.
Through a blend of feedback, reflection, and coaching, we help leaders refine their leadership approach while driving alignment with the company’s evolving identity. In environments like this, coaching becomes more than support, it becomes a quiet lighthouse guiding leaders through the fog of rapid growth.
