Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: I’m new in my role. Is this program suitable for me?

This leadership development program is designed for people who are in leadership roles and have held that role for at least 12 months. If you are new to leadership, we suggest you take the Elevating Leadership Program, a 4 module program that will help you to be CLEAR, CONFIDENT, CONSISTENT and CONSIDERED. You can find out more about the program HERE.

When asked: What is the most useful information you will take away? Here are some participant responses.

“The strategies and the frameworks for thinking about strategy planning. The ideas which can help create space to think more strategically.”
– Nathan Basaraba, Head of Junior School, Wesley College, VIC

Culture is EVERYTHING! The need to schedule uninterrupted time for strategic thinking. I learnt from the self-assessment tools that I need to pay more attention to celebration and recognition.
– Jenine Sapoungis, Head of Languages, Brisbane Grammar, QLD

Q3: Where is the program held?

The program is delivered as a live, interactive online workshop. You can attend from anywhere, on your device.

The group size is kept small (between 10 and 20) on purpose. This allows you to have more time for discussion in small groups and with the facilitator to focus on your own development.

The design of the program allows for a good pace, with a high level of interaction and discussion.

Q4: Is this program relevant if I already have leadership experience or previous training?

Yes. This leadership development program is ideal for experienced leaders who have completed leadership training but are seeking greater clarity, alignment, and strategic leadership focus.

Many also report increased confidence, improved team alignment, and a sharper focus on impact, influence, and career progression in leadership roles.
