Participants are encouraged to understand the frameworks and principles and integrate them into their own authentic leadership style through deliberate practice during the program.

“Participants build a toolkit of skills and habits that ultimately transform the way they think about and reflect on what they do and how they interact with and influence staff, colleagues, senior management and partners.”

“Before the program I didn’t feel like a leader, I knew I had it in me, but was struggling and didn’t feel influential.

Through the Leadership Accelerator I was able to access tools and concepts that help with structure and productivity, as well as building high-performing teams and influencing stakeholders. At first it was a whole range of seemingly different techniques, but then I was really excited to see how it all came together!

I’ve had a lot of wins during and since finishing the program, my team is more cohesive and productive, and I’m often championing vision and goal setting which is making a big difference around the organisation. Best of all I now feel comfortable and confident as a leader, and that I have the trust and respect of others. I know I can present my ideas and they will come with me and paint the future together.”

“I’m very happy to have sent two of my reports along. Not only are they delivering better outcomes but I’ve regained 3-4 hours a week that were being spent in uncomfortable and unnecessary conversations and no HR issues for the last 5 months!”
