About

Lucidity was set up by Lucy Gower to help leaders to build confident, high performing teams that get powerful results.

I started my working life as a textile designer and accidentally fell into a fundraising career through an introduction from a friend of a friend. I worked for several charities, raising significant money from Trusts, individuals, companies and events. I joined the NSPCC, one of the UK’s largest children’s charities in 2006.  Not long after that I had a career defining moment when I got the role as their first Innovation Manager.

I’d found a subject area I loved – creativity and innovation are simply a strategy to solve problems that need solving – and an opportunity to work across different teams to help them collaborate and turn their good ideas into action.

In 2012 I left the NSPCC to set up Lucidity because I felt I could make a bigger impact by working with different organisations building skills and confidence for creativity and collaboration and accelerating progress and impact for individuals, teams and organizations.

Now, through a combination of training and facilitation, coaching and leadership programmes I help leaders and managers to develop their people to form highly effective teams. With a focus on building strong relationships, and practical learning I work with you to equip your team with the mindset and skills for collaboration and a culture where creativity is encouraged, difference is valued, and everyone can be themselves.

Since I set up Lucidity I’ve worked with hundreds of leaders and managers and I’m passionate about helping organisations with a mission to make a positive impact on the world.

Lucidity learning and development creates a shift in culture

What I love is that the impact of the learning and development that Lucidity provides is more than just the skills and attitudes that teams learn. It can shift the culture which has a massive impact on how people feel about their work.

Lucidity learning and development also encourages autonomy and problem solving which reduces the impact on line managers time and increases employee motivation, which means that employees to stay for longer. This in turn reduces the time, money and headaches for managers in recruiting new employees. Recruitment inevitably takes longer than we think and new recruits can take several months to get up to speed, so reducing employee churn also reduces the pressure on the team who plug the gaps while recruitment takes place.

The team at Lucidity take a practical approach to help leaders and managers to develop their leadership skills to get powerful results. We provide.

Training programmes in skills and attitudes to help you develop a culture where collaboration and creativity can flourish. Depending on the needs of your team training might include, for example, collaboration skills, giving and receiving feedback, storytelling, creative thinking, learning from failure, inspiring and influencing others and managing change.

Design and facilitation of workshops and team strategy days to build relationships, solve problems, and think both creatively and strategically about business development and planning. An independent facilitator will design your day to incorporate different learning needs and free you up to be an active participant.

Coaching programmes for leaders to provide a confidential space to work through leadership challenges. Lucidity coaching provides a sounding board and space to help you work to agreed goals whether that is in your career, for your team or for your whole organisation.

The Lucidity Leadership Programme is an exciting new development and more details are coming soon. 

The Lucidity Network is the Lucidity membership community. It’s for existing and aspiring leaders who would like to make more impact and faster progress at work. It’s a mix of training, group coaching, on demand workshops and a community of skills, experience and support.  The Lucidity Network helps you to tackle the complexities of working life that didn’t come with the management or leadership handbook.

I’m also a regular keynote speaker at conferences and events around the world. Through sharing powerful stories and practical tactics I’ll inspire your delegates to think differently, unlock their creativity, build their confidence and they’ll leave motivated and ready to take action.
