Constructive support with hiring and retention

When it comes to hiring and retention, there is one important (and frequently missed) element which is crucial:

Good leadership. When the focus shifts from profit to people, companies become a magnet for talent. People remain in a workplace where they feel valued, and productivity inevitably follows.

Sounds great, although it’s easier said than done. How will joining the Leading with Integrity community help?

● You gain direct access to a community of inspirational leaders
● They have knowledge, experience and innovative ideas
● You can air your own challenges, and discuss the solutions
● Within a community of your peers, you’ll find leaders who have been where you are now
● It’s an enjoyable way to learn new ideas on ethical, authentic leadership ideas

Hiring and retention - what not to do?

Importantly, you’ll find a group of peers who have your back. As you grow and learn, they will champion you.

Leadership podcasts and courses


The online portal is a treasure chest of knowledge. Embedded within it is an ever-growing library of leadership podcasts and courses.

In the podcast, some of the world’s most inspirational leaders share best-practice methods for cultivating a positive, supportive work environment. If you’re looking for fresh ideas on the hiring process, you’ll find them here.

The leadership courses are designed as a guideline for managers and founders. You’ll discover new ways to think about leadership, the type of core behaviours to prioritise (and which to avoid), plus practical skills to try on for size in your own leadership role.

Learn from the best, get inspired, join the conversation and share your own experiences.

It’s just £39 per month, with no obligation to continue if it’s not your thing. Try it out and see what you think.

One-to-one personal mentoring

Leading with Integrity gives you access to one-to-one support sessions with an experienced leader.

That’s me, David Hatch, the founder of Leading with Integrity. I’ve spent my whole career within small businesses. Having experienced both the best and worst in leadership, and seen their respective effects on productivity, I’ve developed a passion for great leadership.

Do I have all the answers? No, but I can help you find the answers which are right for you.

I started the online community because I’m on a mission to make good leadership a daily experience, rather than a rarity. Do you want to help me achieve this?

You can chat with other members confidentially via direct messages, or publicly via the leadership chat thread. You can also talk to members during the live online events or drop-in virtual rooms.

Direct messages are confidential. No one else will have access to your conversation. The leadership chat thread is open to all members.

Pretty easy! Once you access the membership area, you can just click on ‘Call with David’ on the left-hand main menu. It takes you straight to my diary so you can book in a mentoring session.

Membership costs £39 per month.

Ad hoc, one-to-one leadership mentoring is free. It’s included as part of your membership — although bear in mind that if you’d like a series of regular sessions, I may have to charge for these. I’m happy to discuss an affordable option.

You’re not tied in. It’s a monthly rolling membership and if you want to leave the community, you can do so at any time.
