Emerging & Aspiring Leaders Program 

Most leadership development programs are about "what you do" as a leader - they provide a foundational tool kit. The Emerging & Aspiring Leaders Program is different - it's about "who you are" as a leader. In the Program, we explore your unique strengths and what drives you as a leader. We consider the leadership brand you want to be known for, looking at how you lead when you are at your best and the strategies to help manage your leadership shadow.

"It is a beautiful and safe environment where you can reflect on yourself and improve yourself with no judgement."

Who is the Program for?

This program is designed for emerging/aspiring leaders, or recently established leaders, who find themselves in formal leadership roles for the first time.

What is Small Group Coaching?

While leadership coaching is traditionally delivered one-to-one, this program is delivered with a small group coaching approach, which provides participants with the opportunity to normalise their experience and learn from the collective wisdom of the group.

The Program Structure (below) shows how each small group coaching session has a clear focus. Sessions are highly experiential, with an action-learning approach that enables the learning to be applied to solve real work challenges.

As part of the program design, between sessions, participants will be encouraged to experiment with new tools and behaviours.

Feedback from Emerging Leaders Programs
“Program was well balanced between providing insightful information and thinking and developing yourself in collaboration with peers. It was great to work alongside others and create networks of support at the site. These have already been utilised and a great effect."

Feedback from Emerging Leaders Programs
"The sessions gave me an opportunity to reflect on where I am at in my leadership journey, who I aspire to be more like and how I can get there. It was great having the time to really deeply reflect on what my strengths are and why I work really well with some people, but only sort of ok with others."

"Having attended and fulfilled several leadership roles at a residential college during my uni years, I would highly recommend this style of coaching for young leaders, particularly to encourage reflection on values and promote skills surrounding emotional intelligence in the more formative years for young professionals."

Feedback from Emerging Leaders Programs
“The added confidence and ability to know how to use a range of strategies to deal with the many and varying situation. This was both inspiring, challenging and reflective at the same time. The check lists and acronyms are also easy to remember are now part of my ‘toolkit’. I feel more confident to deal with situations no matter what skills, abilities, motivation and or challenges that are presented.”

Feedback from Emerging Leaders Programs
“I feel the sessions brought out the best in me. I have learnt to carefully consider my actions and choices before I speak with other professionals, so that I can support them and communicate my intentions with more clarity.”

Feedback from Emerging Leaders Programs
“Each session opened up new learnings and built on the previous – identifying strength and shadow behaviours and being able to identify them. The final session brought everything together – listening, questioning and tough conversations are all key areas of development.”

Feedback from Emerging Leaders Programs
“To consider what is motivating other people’s actions and thoughts as a way to managing relationships with others. Also the guidelines on how to have tough conversations with others.”

Feedback from Emerging Leaders Programs
“Knowing our strengths and using that knowledge to approach situations can allow us to gain more from the situation and contribute and collaborate more effectively. Overusing our strengths can cause shadow and often affect others inadvertently. It is really beneficial having the professional/personal reflective conversations with others as much to hear other people speak as being heard. The listening task was very powerful.”
