Behavioural Advisory Session

A confidential, one-to-one advisory conversation to help managers and leaders make sense of leadership behaviour issues, particularly when behaviour changes under pressure.

What this session is (and isn’t)

This is a focused, 60-minute behavioural advisory session designed to support managers and senior leaders dealing with live people issues at work.

It provides behavioural advice and decision support when leadership behaviour issues, workplace conflict behaviour, or pressure-driven reactions are becoming difficult to interpret.

It is:

  • A single, time-bound advisory conversation.

  • Judgement-led, not programme-led.

  • Grounded in real situations rather than models.

It is not:

  • Coaching.

  • Therapy.

  • Training.

  • Consultancy.

  • Mediation or investigation.

There is no obligation to proceed beyond the session, and no guarantee of outcome. The purpose is clarity, not intervention.

When this session is useful

This session is typically used as early intervention, before issues escalate into formal processes.

It is particularly helpful when:

  • Leadership behaviour issues are emerging but not yet formalised.

  • Manager behaviour under pressure is changing in ways that feel unhelpful.

  • Workplace conflict behaviour is repeating or intensifying.

  • Managers feel stuck and unsure how to proceed.

  • HR wants to support managers dealing with behaviour issues without immediate escalation.

The aim is to prevent escalation by helping people think more clearly before decisions are made.

What happens in the session

The session is a confidential, one-to-one online conversation.

We focus on:

  • The live situation you are dealing with.

  • Observable behaviour and patterns.

  • How behaviour may be shifting under pressure.

  • Where intent and impact may be diverging.

  • The risks and trade-offs of different ways forward.

There is no assessment, no performance judgement, and no ownership taken for outcomes. The session supports thinking, not actioning.

What you’ll leave with

By the end of the session, you will leave with:

  • Clearer understanding of what is likely driving the behaviour.

  • Options for handling the situation, with risks and consequences made explicit.

  • Language that may help structure a difficult conversation.

  • A sense-check on whether to pause, proceed, or escalate.

In many cases, clarity alone is enough. In others, further diagnostic work may be appropriate. Sometimes, no further action is recommended.

How this connects to other work

The Behavioural Advisory Session stands on its own.

Where it directly informs a Leadership Behaviour Review, the advisory session fee is credited against that work if commissioned within an agreed period. This avoids duplication and ensures continuity without assumption.

Who this session is for

This session is typically:

It is designed for organisations that want proportionate, thoughtful support rather than predefined programmes or premature escalation.

  • Authorised by HR or People leaders.

  • Attended by line managers, senior managers, or SLT members.

Practical details

  • Format: Online.

  • Duration: 60 minutes.

  • Confidentiality: Confidential to the individual by default.

  • Fee: £300+VAT.

  • Scope: Behavioural advice only; no guarantees or formal outputs.

If you’re unsure whether this is the right step, a short conversation can help sense-check suitability.

Final note

This session exists to slow things down when behaviour feels hard to interpret.

Sometimes that leads to further work.


Sometimes it prevents unnecessary intervention.

Both outcomes are valid.
