What I Offer:
360 degree survey
Surveying your peers, together with more senior and more junior colleagues to gain a 360-degree view.
Robust analysis of results
Identifying themes and patterns in responses to survey questions. Analysis grounded in robust research.
Debrief to enable you to act
1 to 1 Mentoring session to debrief you on the result. Helping you to identify what matters most & how to act.
What 360-degree feedback clients leave with:
Fresh Insights
Protected time to think as well as a methodical approach enable clients to gain fresh insights.
Actions to take
This approach enables clients to identify behavioural actions that they wish to take as a result of reflection.
Optional accountability
If we both identify that ongoing accountability to complete your actions would help you this can be arranged.
How are you really perceived as a leader?
Leaders will fail to develop as they need without effective feedback. Too many leaders suffer from blind spots in their leadership style that cause them to inadvertently create a negative perception.
Through applying the academic rigour of the Integrated Leadership Model, Laughlin Consultancy offers you the opportunity to gain the feedback that you need as a leader. Structured feedback from your junior, peer & senior colleagues.
Identify your stakeholders
Together we identify stakeholders who should be surveyed (an appropriate blend of junior, peer & senior colleagues).
Recognise your strengths
As well as identifying any blind spots, your debrief will help you recognise how to play to the strengths of your leadership style.
Agree your Action Plan
Devise and commit to an action plan in response to your profile, as well as identifying any support you need to achieve your development plan.
Next Steps:
Working with Laughlin Consultancy as your leadership mentoring provider is simple. Through 3 easy steps, a tailored mentoring approach is agreed and delivered as a live online session(s). You have full visibility of content & cost throughout.

Surveys will be emailed to stakeholders agreed with you, results analysed & a date agreed to debrief you on the results.
“Paul has a great mix of skills that have helped me understand my own motives and rationale, as well as helping me achieve the goals that I wanted to achieve. The coaching process has been interesting, enlightening and rewarding. I recommend Paul to anyone who feels a bit stuck, or who feels they can achieve more.“
All our mentoring work with leaders is grounded in two foundations. Firstly, over 20 years of practitioner leader experience in creating and leading such teams. Secondly, our ongoing collaboration with universities and leading academic research.
Our 360-degree feedback tool is based on “The Integrated Leadership Model“ developed out of the research of Doug Strycharczyk, Prof. Peter Clough & Dr Nollaig Heffernan. Our commercial application has been developed with their approval.
What our Clients say:
“Paul helped me to be clearer on what I wanted to achieve in my new role and to focus on what was important to me. I put huge pressure on myself to deliver everything – without compromise. Paul helped me focus on measurable goals – and levels of goals I’d be happy to accept – rather than the focus on everything being perfect. This led me to achieve much more.“
“I have benefitted hugely from working with Paul. The experience was challenging and revealing in the best and most productive way. Paul’s perceptiveness and encouragement allowed me to feel safe in being honest and making myself vulnerable; so that in the end the insights I needed to have were truly my own. His focus on committing to actions held me accountable for my own progress, and set a model for the future.“
“Great teamwork sessions. Good balance struck between theory and exercises. This allowed me to create clearer & more intuitive visualisations.“
How to speak to Paul:
“What I find particularly powerful about this approach is questions that consider the leader within their context. There are 10 questions about the leader’s personal determination to achieve high performance, 10 on engagement with other individuals and 10 on engaging with the wider organisation.
As the old saying goes, ’no man (or woman) is an island’. Most of the leaders I have met over the years, who struggle to fit into an organisation or drive forward the change they see is needed, have a clash of styles. They struggle with a different leadership approach than their peers, or a different mindset than the organisational culture. Recognising that can be a powerful first step.
For that reason, I’ve developed this tool to use with clients, aligned to 6 dimensions & 30 questions. It helps leaders understand their own integrated leadership style and how they might flex it to achieve greater impact.“
