Who we are
Loom is a boutique consultancy that designs and facilitates leadership development off sites for executive teams.
Traditional leadership development is bottom-heavy: new managers receive training programs, mentorship, and frequent feedback; but senior leaders—the ones carrying the greatest responsibility—receive comparatively little. This leadership development gap creates institutional liability for any organization’s culture, results, and future trajectory.
When senior leaders do get development opportunities, they are typically standard competency assessments, gap analyses, and perhaps individual coaching. But leadership is not something inside a person; it happens between people. It’s built, exercised, and embodied in relationships.
What senior leaders need most is the space to grow together.
Our relational leadership method helps to develop individual leaders and teams across three nested dimensions:
Effective leadership begins with self-awareness. But new stages of growth require deeper levels of self-knowledge. Through guided introspection, structured dialogue, and engaging exercises, leaders develop a richer understanding of self and others.
As leaders, much of our work hinges on the capacity to build and sustain meaningful relationships with a wide range of people—from business partners and clients to rising stars and direct reports. This requires advanced capabilities in interpersonal skills like persuasion, conflict management, and psychological safety.
In the third dimension, we expand our focus from individual relationships to the networks that hold them. Leaders learn to treat their influence not as a transaction but an ecosystem of trust that spans teams, partners, and industry.
Everything we do is delivered through fully bespoke off sites with executive and leadership teams—typically one to three per year, one to three days each, in accessible but distinctive locations that set the tone for a very different kind of work. No two are alike, but all are designed around three core aims:
More than surface-level team-building, we tap into years of facilitation work to design and facilitate safe but inspiring spaces to strengthen the bonds with each other and ourselves.
Personal and professional development that engages individuals at depth—greater self-awareness, advanced leadership capacities, and a more grounded and secure presence as a leader.
In addition to the work of belonging and growth, we find it transformative for teams to spend some time engaged in meaningful work together and making real progress toward a specific goal or project.
Stakeholder conversations to set intentions and shape the agenda around your team’s specific goals and objectives.
One to three days of facilitated sessions with expert facilitators capable of navigating both the business realities and psychology in the room.
Optional debrief and review conversations with key stakeholders with an emphasis on maintaining new insights and practices.

With substantial growth on the horizon, we’ve chosen to use Loom across the team to quickly build meaningful connections that are creating an environment where we can all thrive and deliver on the aggressive goals we’ve set for ourselves.
