Connecting Leaders Across Your Organisation

Internal Leadership Networks

In a time marked by constant change, rising complexity, and high expectations, leaders need more than just goals and plans. They need a confidential space to discuss leadership dilemmas, gain perspective, and find direction together with peers.

At CfL, we support you in establishing internal leadership networks - helping you connect leaders across the organisation and strengthen reflection, engagement, and cohesion within your leadership team.

Why Have an Internal Network for Leaders

  • Internal networks provide a trusted, professional space for leadership dialogue – embedded in your organisation and driven by what matters to your leaders.

  • Because participants share the same context, you gain a powerful platform to strengthen leadership culture and alignment across the organisation.

  • By choosing CfL’s experienced facilitators, you relieve your HR teams and avoid role conflicts - while ensuring a neutral, confidential space led by experts who bring fresh perspective from outside the organisation.

CfL ensures that the leadership network is organised into fixed groups across the organisation. Each group is supported by a dedicated facilitator who guides the process and plans meetings - typically one year ahead.

"Internal leadership networks create a space for reflection, honest conversations, and peer sparring. When conversations are allowed to unfold without expectations of quick action or results, something valuable often emerges: stronger leadership practice and a shared direction in day-to-day work."

We Support You Throughout the Process

Together, we co-design the process by working through topics like:

  • Clarifying purpose and linking it to your leadership culture and development goals.

  • Aligning expectations and planning communication during the launch.

  • Structuring and selecting the right participants for each network group.

  • Designing a meeting format and providing full cost transparency.

  • Recommending the right setup for network leadership and facilitation.

  • Offering optional admin support and coordination with your internal HR team.

If you’re a CfL member, we can also advise you on how to make the most of your membership – boosting learning, community, and inspiration.
