North Star Leadership Navigation™

Expanding Leadership Across Systems
North Star Leadership Navigation™ is a 10–12 week immersive learning journey that develops the advanced capabilities leaders need to navigate today’s complexity with clarity, courage, and purpose. It brings together evidence-based leadership frameworks, systemic thinking, and reflective practice to strengthen the connection between self-awareness, strategic foresight, and collective impact.

The program takes its inspiration from the North Star — a symbol of orientation and purpose. Just as the North Star helps travelers find their way in uncharted terrain, the program helps leaders locate their “true north” — the inner compass that aligns personal values with organizational vision and system-wide change.

Participants are guided through four dimensions of leadership: self, team, organization, and system. Across these levels, they build the mindset and tools required to lead adaptively, foster resilience, and create alignment amid uncertainty.

AVAILABLE ONLINE OR IN PERSON, AS A HALF-DAY WORKSHOP OR A FULL-DAY WORKSHOP.

Suitable for

Mid- to senior-level leaders
Leadership team members
Emerging executives
Anyone seeking to strengthen their adaptive capacity, deepen their awareness, and lead with systemic perspective in complex and fast-changing contexts.

“Initially, I wondered if coaching was suitable for me. After giving it a shot, Phoenix Coaching became a game-changer for me. Working with Kalim has not only boosted my growth but has also reflected to the performance and ambience of the team. He makes the journey of self-discovery enjoyable and truly inspiring. I highly recommend Phoenix Coaching to anyone looking to up their game in a warm, supportive environment.”

Mikko Leskinen
CEO, Leona Consulting
“In our workshop, we reflected on very value-laden ideas about national defence and climate change. Participants came from many different organisations and educational backgrounds, with very different expectations. Without Kalim's facilitation, we would not have been able to work together over two days to outline a completely new social debate and achieve collective results.”

“Kalim immediately made me feel comfortable on our first meeting as I wasn't sure what to expect in our coaching relationship. He is deliberate in his professional approach which makes our engagement and discussions very encouraging and fruitful. One issue that we worked on together was my fear of the job interview process. We broke it down into various parts and went through them to a point where I could prepare for the job interview on my own. I would definitely recommend him to my friends.”
