Leadership coaching and development programmes in Bristol & Bath
Grow confident, emotionally intelligent leaders
Even experienced leaders can feel stuck
First-time managers are often promoted without support. Senior leaders are pulled in every direction. Founders carry the weight of it all.
Without the space, tools and support to grow, leaders’ confidence can slip and pressure builds. We avoid delegating, giving feedback and having difficult conversations. We struggle to prioritise and make decisions, and overwhelm can turn into stress or worse, burnout.
Great leadership isn’t just about strategy or delivery - it’s about people. And people need support to grow.
How we help
At Growth Space, we design and deliver leadership development programmes and executive coaching for organisations across Bristol, Bath and the South West, helping leaders build confidence, emotional intelligence, and resilience to lead effectively in a changing world.
We create the space for leaders and managers to pause, reflect and refocus, so they show up with empathy, clarity and impact.
Our work blends leadership theory, behavioural insight, and practical application, tailored to your organisation’s culture and context. We support:
New and emerging managers – to develop confidence and people-management skills.
Senior leaders – to lead through complexity and change.
Founders – to build leadership capacity as their business grows.
Why it matters
Leadership affects everything: your culture, engagement, reputation and results. Emotionally intelligent leaders make better decisions, motivate teams, and build trust. Yet many managers never get the support or training they need.
Whether you’re managing growth, navigating change, or adapting to hybrid working, we’ll help your leaders thrive so your people and business do too. When you invest in your leaders:
Confidence, capability and resilience grow.
Teams feel supported, valued and motivated.
Decisions are made faster, with greater alignment.
Trust, feedback and accountability improve.
Performance, productivity and well-being increase.
