Leadership programs
Develop the mindsets, skills, and behaviours needed for success through leadership programs that follow a pathway from knowing to doing.
Leadership programs that close the knowing-doing gap
Leadership transformation doesn’t happen by chance; it happens by design.
When your leaders understand what effective leadership looks like, the next step is helping them develop the skills to put it into practice.
I design and facilitate leadership programs tailored to your organisation’s context, culture, and priorities, bridging the gap between knowledge and application.

The knowing to doing pathway
To change behaviour, leaders need a pathway, not just a workshop.
My Knowing to Doing Pathway provides a practical roadmap for designing leadership programs that go beyond one-off events, transforming leaders’ good intentions into lasting impact.
It’s based on well-established stages of behaviour change (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance) proposed by psychologists James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.
These five stages describe the process individuals go through when making intentional changes to their behaviour, with each one corresponding to a step in the Knowing to Doing pathway:

1. Raise awareness of the impact of the current leadership behaviour
Help leaders see the need for change through:
Psychometrics, diagnostics, assessments
Self-evaluation, 180-degree, or 360-degree feedback
Data on the impact of effective vs ineffective leadership (via books, articles, blogs, videos, podcasts, eLearning, lectures, professional speakers, pre-program briefings, sponsor/peer testimonials, etc.)

Practical leadership models and frameworks
Interactive sessions (workshops, webinars)
Peer discussions on different leadership styles
Exposure to role models, job shadowing, observation

3. Practice new behaviours and plan how these will be used on the job
Create a safe space to experiment and prepare:
Low-stakes practice opportunities (e.g., case studies, scenario-based exercises, role plays, simulations, interactive learning tools, chatbots)
Goal-setting and action-planning
Habit-building techniques (e.g., implementation intentions)

4. Apply knowledge and implement new leadership behaviours
Support leaders in doing differently through:
Just-in-time resources (checklists, how-to guides, cheat sheets)
Application activities
Experiential learning (e.g., job shadowing, secondments, stretch assignments, cross-functional rotations or projects)
On-the-job coaching and mentoring

5. Reflect on the impact of changed behaviour to reinforce development gains
Lock in new behaviours through:
Program graduations to share outcomes
Regular check-ins and feedback loops with line managers, mentors, coaches, sponsors, etc.
Peer support networks and group coaching
Retests and pulse surveys
Email campaigns and nudges
Habit-tracking tools
Build your own program
Want to launch a leadership program quickly?
Rather than ‘off the shelf’ programs with fixed content, I offer a flexible library of leadership topics that you can pick and mix from to fast-track the design of a program tailored to your needs. Whether you’re building from scratch or enhancing what you already have, you can select topics from within or across these three categories:
-
Foster self-awareness and have a growth mindset
Lead with your values and strengths
Be proactive and control your emotions
Establish and maintain healthy boundaries
Prioritise your time and energy for value-adding activities
-
Build trust and connection
Create a place to belong and positive operating rhythms
Set expectations and hold people accountable
Empower others and delegate effectively
Coach, provide feedback, and develop others
-
Become a leader or leaders
Balance organisational tensions and trade-offs
Influence without authority
Make your thinking visible
Communicate to inspire
Lead change
Have something in mind? Let’s design it together.
My facilitation style
Facilitation that leaders look forward to - not just sit through.
Your leaders don’t need another stuffy, lecture-style training. They need development experiences that are engaging, practical, and built for real-world impact.
I bring energy, insight, and adaptability to every session, balancing interactivity and reflection with the right level of challenge. Because I both design and facilitate your leadership program, every element can be tailored to fit your specific requirements.
You can customise your development experience through:
In-person or virtual delivery
Flexible formats - workshops, webinars, conferences or Lunch ‘n’ Learns
Session lengths that align with operational needs
Modular program options that allow time for application and reflection
Integration strategies that embed learning into your existing rhythms, like team meetings, monthly meetups, or quarterly reviews, so development becomes part of how leaders lead, not just something extra on their plate.
Enquire now to customise a format, delivery style, and rhythm that works for your leaders.
