Psychology-led workshops and guided experiences that move past surface-level networking skills to what actually drives influence, collaboration, and long-term professional success.
Each programme is psychology-led, designed for senior people, and focused on the relationships that actually move careers and outcomes — not the ones that fill calendars.
A six-week cohort for senior individuals: how to read rooms, build trust at depth, and design a working network that compounds.
An off-site plus follow-on programme for leadership teams who want to move from polite collaboration to genuine candour — without faking it.
Curated, psychology-led networking experiences. Smaller rooms. Real conversations. Designed to leave with three relationships, not thirty cards.
A signature talk on relational intelligence as a career multiplier — equal parts diagnosis and call to action. For conferences, all-hands, and partner offsites.
A focused engagement for founders, operating partners, and senior leaders navigating high-stakes relational moments — boards, partners, succession.
A short, structured assessment of how your network is actually working — strength, density, blind spots — before any programme. Often the best place to start.
Three movements every LFB engagement runs through. Skipping any one of them is the difference between a workshop people enjoyed and a programme people use.
Most networks are wider than they are deep — and concentrated in places that flatter rather than help. Step one is always honest measurement: density, reach, blind spots, and the relationships that are doing the real work.
Reading rooms. Repairing tension. Asking better questions. Holding silence. The relational fundamentals that no MBA teaches and no leadership programme isolates — drilled in cohort sessions with peer practice.
Programme work is rehearsal; the real test is on Tuesday afternoon. Each cohort includes structured deployment: live targets, short feedback loops, and a relational practice that compounds long after the programme ends.
Public cohorts, partner events, and keynotes. Private programmes by enquiry — see Enquire.
Discretion is part of what we sell. Names withheld; numbers, methods, and outcomes are real.
Eight-week programme with a private equity firm's operating partner group. We diagnosed the team's relational map, ran four candour-and-repair sessions, and rebuilt their internal network around real working pairs.
Six-week founder cohort designed to break the polite-distance default. Mid-programme, three pairs of founders had structured candid conversations they had been avoiding for over a year. Two new partnerships emerged.
If yours isn't here, the enquiry form is the right place to bring it.
Senior individuals and teams: founders, operating partners, GCs, directors, and heads of people. The work is calibrated for people who are already capable — and who suspect their network is wider than it is deep.
No. Networking optimises for breadth and surface. Relational intelligence is the underlying capability — reading rooms, building trust, repairing tension, asking better questions, holding silence. Networking events are one place those skills are deployed; they are not the skills themselves.
Most leadership programmes treat relationships as a soft adjacent topic. We treat them as the central capability — and we lead the work with a Columbia-trained psychologist, not a generalist facilitator. Cohorts are smaller (16 max), the diagnostic is real, and the practice is structured.
Open cohort seats start at £350 (guided networking) and £4,800 (the Relational Operator). Team programmes and senior advisory are scoped on enquiry. Pricing is not the filter — fit is. The diagnostic (£480) is the right place to start if you're unsure.
Yes — about half of LFB's work is private. Bespoke cohorts, leadership team off-sites, and ongoing advisory. Send a note via Enquire with a few lines on the team and the moment you're in.
