About the Course

Becoming a great leader is not about accessing knowledge. There’s more knowledge, (books, academic journals, blogs, newsletters etc.), on leadership than on most other topics. Becoming a great leader is about facing yourself and understanding who you are, about seeing what works really well in this setting and what gets in your way in that setting. It’s about knowing yourself when you’re at ease and playful and effective, and about knowing yourself when you’re not. It’s about how to toggle back up, so that you can be the stimulus for positive and proactive behaviour that your team really needs. It’s about knowing when to walk gently and when to hold a firm line, how to give feedback in a way that inspire and enlivens and how to practice self-compassion for yourself and invigorate your own wellbeing so that you can keep on looking out for others. 


This program will help you keep your heart in your leadership, it will help you bring people together to collaborate and it will help you build a clear path for your team, your culture and your organisation. 


This course is contextualizable to your specific organisational environment and needs. It can also be customised to be delivered through different delivery structures.

Course Delivery Options

Course is offered in both Online and Blended modes.
