Helping you shape leaders who can drive your organisation culture.

We understand people are often promoted for their specialist expertise and aren’t given the opportunity to develop their people leadership. Rather, they have to learn on the job.

We also recognise how critical leadership behaviour is to the culture of an organisation and the ability of your people to deliver on the strategy.

If you would like us to help you develop leaders you can trust to perform how you need them to, contact us for a conversation.

What is poor leadership costing you?

82% of employees say they would consider quitting their job due to a bad manager. It’s a stark reminder that people don't leave companies; they leave bad leaders.

If you don’t address the leadership capability of your people, you may find yourself in an organisation with any or all of the following: high turnover, burnt out staff, people resigning in place, mediocre performance against organisational deliverables, low employee engagement, and difficulty recruiting good people.

But the impact of ineffective leaders extends beyond these direct consequences. Just like emotions, behaviours are contagious, and over time ineffective leaders can also have a detrimental effect on your good ones.

The good news is that developing and supporting your leaders is within your control.

[The Senior Leadership Program] has been such a valuable program and is really great to be in a position to apply so many of the skills. I could probably write another three pages reflecting on where I’ve become aware that I’m applying even little parts of the content... It’s gold! And seeing the impact in action give me the buzz that I love. I’m so excited to look back and see how my experience of the culture in the department shifts from viewing ourselves as separate functions, to seeing ourselves as ‘one team’ and what my role can be in shifting the culture - how powerful the program has been there!

This was an insightful leadership course that has immediate practical application.

This was frankly one of the best programs I have ever done and that I will continue to draw from and build upon. Kylie is a highly professional, skilled and experienced coach who made the learning and the thinking fun as well as hitting the spot. Thank you.

Your Brain Can't Do Its Best Work When It Doesn't Feel Safe

There's a moment most leaders have experienced. You're in a meeting. The atmosphere is tense. Someone senior is in the room who makes people nervous and you can almost watch the intelligence drain out of the conversation. People hesitate before speaking, give safe answers, and hold back from sharing ideas because the risk of offering them feels too high.

The Missing Link Between Emotionally Intelligent Leadership and Workplace Safety

In most organisations, safety and leadership development live in completely separate worlds. Safety sits in WHS. Leadership development sits in HR or L&D.

This Is What a Psychologically Safe Team Actually Looks Like

Picture two team meetings. In the first, everyone nods along as the manager speaks. Questions are minimal. When someone does push back, the room tightens slightly - just for a moment - and the point is quietly dropped. People file out, heads down, already composing messages they’ll send later to the colleague they actually trust.

Business people meeting, listening to speaker, one businesswoman looking pensive

Picture a leadership team. Experienced, capable people who have worked together long enough to know each other well. And somewhere in that team, there is a person — talented, possibly high-performing — whose behaviour is causing harm. 

What Your Emotions Are Telling You About Your Leadership

Self-Awareness includes recognising and understanding one's own emotions. This includes the ability to differentiate between subtleties in one's own emotions while understanding the cause of these emotions and the impact they have on one's own thoughts and actions and those of others (MHS, EQ-i 2.0).

It is certainly considerably more comprehensive than its name suggests. Moving through actually realising you are feeling something (we are never not feeling an emotion), to labelling it, to understanding how it is impacting on your behaviour, and then managing your emotional state if required! Understanding how you ‘show up’ to others is so important, as well as understanding how your emotional state may be impacting on you over time. We all run patterns – some not as helpful as others.
