Complex challenges.
Practical answers.
When the stakes are high and the path isn’t obvious, you don’t need another binder. You need space to think, honest conversations and a way to turn insight into action.
That’s where Flatpack Leadership comes in.

Why Flatpack?
When I worked at IKEA, I came across something called the IKEA effect. The idea is simple: we tend to value something more when we have helped build it ourselves.
Think about the last piece of flatpack furniture you put together. Perhaps the instructions were a little confusing. Perhaps you were convinced a screw was missing. But then, step by step, the pieces came together. And when you stood back and looked at it, you could say: I built that.
That idea stayed with me when I started Flatpack Leadership.
I wanted to create something that would last beyond the day in the workshop, the final coaching session or the moment the consultant left the room. Not a solution delivered to people, but something built with them. Something they understand, feel ownership of and can continue to use and develop themselves.
Of course, building together doesn’t mean starting with an empty box. It takes experience, thoughtful design, the right tools and someone who can help make sense of the instructions when things get complicated.
That’s what Flatpack Leadership is here to do: bring the knowledge, ask the questions and help you put the pieces together – so that what we build lasts long after we leave the room.
The IKEA effect refers to research on how people value things they have helped create. Read the study
The Flatpack philosophy
If we can make it simpler, we can make it happen.
The person behind it / 04
Warmth, curiosity and a willingness to ask the hard questions.
Flatpack Leadership was founded by Livia Troili, an executive coach and leadership developer who has worked with leaders and organisations internationally for more than two decades.
I believe leadership development should make a difference where it matters: in the conversations you have, the decisions you make and the way people work together. Expect curiosity, care and the occasional uncomfortable question.
Built for the work
Personal commitment.
Global reach.
The right people, the right expertise and a shared way of working. That’s how we bring the right team together for the challenge at hand.
Flatpack Leadership is founded and led by Livia Troili, with more than two decades of experience working with leaders and organisations internationally. We have been trusted to support leaders and teams in large, complex organisations as well as smaller settings.
When a project calls for a broader team or a particular expertise, we draw on an international network of trusted coaches and facilitators who share our philosophy. The team is shaped around the work, the people and the context.
Personal
Close collaboration and attention to the people behind the challenge.
Flexible
Experience and capacity brought together around what the work needs.
One Flatpack approach
A shared philosophy and a commitment to quality, from a coaching conversation to a larger programme.
Good to know / 05
A few questions, answered.
Who do you work with?
Senior leaders, leadership teams and HR and learning teams who want to make leadership more effective in everyday working life.
Do we need to know what kind of support we need?
No. Bring the challenge, the question or the situation you are trying to change. We can work out the right starting point together.
Do you tailor your work?
Yes. We start with your context and build on approaches that work, shaping the format and content around your people and what you need to achieve.
How do we get started?
Start with a conversation. Tell us a little about what you are dealing with, and we can explore whether and how we can help.
A good place to start
What’s on your mind?
Tell me what you’re working through. You don’t need to have the perfect brief. We can figure out the next step together.
