Leadership & skills development

Give your people the skills they need to collaborate well. 

Our training is highly experiential. Participants regularly tell us they feel empowered and transformed.

We know that for skills and practice to stick we need deeper learning opportunities and reflective practice outside of business as usual. Our tailored programs will enable you to apply your learning directly to the challenges or opportunities you face. 

Our unique focus on the emotional resilience of team members in conjunction with appropriate skill development provides a proven return on your organisation’s investment

Below are some of the topics we offer. Chat to us to develop a program tailored to your needs.

  • Collaborative leadership

    Length: 2-6 days

    Strong collaboration is the key to success at work. Managers and team leaders can model this behaviour by honing their communication skills and putting in place some simple processes to encourage cooperation and build trust. We can help you build your skills and master fresh approaches to get the best out of your team.

  • Facilitation Skills

    Length: 2 days

In this popular course you will hone your communication skills, develop your self-awareness and learn how to manage the challenging behaviours that often get groups stuck.

  • Challenging encounters

    Length 1-2 days

    What do you do when somebody is visibly upset or when a meeting is disrupted by over-powering behaviour? This course helps you build the skills to more confidently tackle challenging and tricky situations – in groups and in one-to-one interactions. Participants practise a set of microskills that subtly but powerfully shift conversations, increasing engagement and achieving better outcomes for all.

  • From conflict to collaboration

    Length: 2 days

    Learn a simple model for managing ‘hot spots’ and conflict, boost your self-awareness and resilience, and refine communication skills to navigate disagreement and differences.

    When managed constructively, conflict can be the engine room for powerful learning, and often brings about transformational change.

  • Supervision and performance management

    Length: 2 days

    Develop the confidence to have the conversations you need to have. High-quality supervision helps leaders catch team issues early, give staff the support they need and help them develop their skills. This training offers a straightforward and effective supervision process that both supervisor and supervisee can benefit from.

  • How to do strategic planning

    Length: 1-2 days

    Achieving your goals is hit and miss without a workable strategy. We can help your organisation put together a plan that starts with the big picture, why you are here, and drills down to specific actions to ensure you are on target to achieve your aims. Our systematic approach dovetails neatly with operational plans and individual work areas.

From our clients

  • “There is more accountability being taken in the office. This is part of a business wide drive and the work was perfectly timed to give everyone the skills to do this in a sensitive and effective manner.”

    George, Tradewind Australia

  • “The experiential training model is so powerful, the online delivery was varied and inclusive, there was a strong and cohesive conceptual framework established, one that aligns really well with our organisational values and practice. Thank you”

    Kathryn, Relationships Australia

  • “The course kept participants active, engaged and constantly reflecting and learning”

    Kirsten, Uniting Vic Tas

  • “I have seen evidence of the skills and knowledge gained in the Groupwork course showing up in our facilitator’s work, which is wonderful. The confidence of our team has grown. We are also getting lots of feedback from group participants that they are enjoying the level of participation (one of the things I was most keen to see).”

    Kathryn, Relationships Australia

  • "Since the training people have consistently referred back to what they learned and I've seen a noticeable improvement in people's comfort and skill in facilitation. We also gained common language around facilitation that's helped us to talk about what we are doing and why in a way that is understood by everyone."

    Cam Elliott, The Sunrise Project

  • “I felt like a really safe and trusting container was built to share honest expression. I felt like I initially was intimidated by not being in a leadership role but after session four felt a lot more equality and less power and rank.“

    Ali, Vincent Care

  • “It created a space for colleagues from different areas to feel safe with each other, to learn and be open, and to practice facilitation skills in the context of our daily work. It was tailored to our needs.”

    Staff member, Department of Health

  • “I was really happy with the style of Henry's delivery and the pacing of the training. The content was really relevant to our work and we enjoyed the opportunity to bring real work based examples into the training.”
