Turning Workplace Leadership on its Head
Leadership is about responsibility, accountability and courage and when your business has a critical mass of ‘real’ leadership capability at all levels, you will have a great culture. This program is designed to develop workplace leaders capable of leading authentically and inspiring those around them.
‘These leaders are rare; they are the people who bring sustainable and memorable change wherever they go, and within an organisation, can propel it and its people toward extraordinary outcomes.’
Leadership is a process of self-development and this program includes a strong, personal development component, which is the key reason why attendees buy-in so strongly and remember and use the skills in all areas of their lives; especially at work. This program is designed to follow-on from the ‘Lead Yourself First’, personal empowerment training.‘
Leadership Is Everything’ is designed to engage and expand the individual empowerment and soft-skills capabilities, necessary for individuals to demonstrate the transparent integrity, accountability and self-mastery that will transform your workplace culture and facilitate extraordinary business outcomes.
‘Let’s take leadership out of the boardroom and spread it through the entire organisation; leadership at every level of a business, is empowerment, engagement and responsibility at every level …’

Leadership capability is uniquely meaningful to each individual; attendees will interpret and utilise the skills, data and concepts that make up this program in their own distinctive ways. As they progress through the course, they will ‘stack’ and integrate the new information and add innovative dimensions to old skillsets and broaden their approach to everything they do.
Most leaders understand the cognitive and behavioural aspects of leadership, but leaders have a far greater impact when they can use more than just their intellect. Leaders who can ‘be’ themselves with courage, strength and compassion, find deeper reserves of integrity, authenticity and presence, even when they’re challenged.
‘Authentic leadership is born out of a process of self-development; a progression through the ‘inner journey’ that produces integrity, commitment and the passion to achieve something greater than the self.’
If you drive your business outcomes, it’s important to understand the critical importance of authentic leadership in your business; the more real leaders you have in your organisation, the better your company culture will become; this is why ‘Leadership is Everything…
Details of the course
This program is conducted in a series of short, high-impact training sessions, spanning several months; it is part one, of a two-part leadership development program. It is designed to allow time for integration and understanding to develop in all particiapnts. Allowing participants the time to learn and then practice the skills and behaviours, in their workplace and home environments with the opportunity to ask questions, get feedback and make adjustments, is a critical factor in the success of the program.
The program can be conducted onsite in your business with your leadership team and be tailored to their specific needs; these are determined in a pre-program diagnostic process, to ensure the program is fully aligned with their roles, responsibilities, their business culture, current capabilities and other key factors that determine content, time spent on each stage of the program and the team’s current workload.
If you are serious about developing an authentic, empowered leadership team to drive cultural development in your business, invite Susie Walker for a discussion about the options that best suit your business needs.
