INNER CIRCLE
LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
This is not a standard leadership training program. Available as a public or in-house offering, it enables a deep understanding of human behaviour and incorporates neuroscience, diversity elements and culturally appropriate leadership practices.
One of our participants recently submitted the program outline as part of credit towards her Masters in Engineering studies, and it was recognised by Southern Cross University to count towards credit for academic units PROJ6007 (Stakeholder Engagement) and MGMT6003 (The Positive Leader).
You don’t need to be in a leadership role to join us. Leadership skills are needed now more than ever.
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter leadership
Presented over 3 months, this journey includes confidential 1:1 as well as group coaching sessions, assessments, experiential learning, mentoring, e-learning and instruction. Modules incorporate human centred, holistic leadership, positive psychology principles, coaching and workplace resilience strategies. The program is customised for each cohort based on the unique individual styles and the characteristics of participants’ teams and is also available as an in-house corporate program.

“Blyde, before working with you I felt like a failure. My team wasn’t working well together, nobody was meeting deadlines and everything was just too hard. I worked longer and longer hours, thinking it will help if I just get a few projects over the line. You helped me uncover what prevented me from leading my team from my heart, in a way that felt comfortable to ME and aligned with my natural flow. My team has started working together in a way that is bringing out the best in them. I feel much more comfortable at executive meetings now, no longer out of my depth and afraid of being judged.”

Meet Your Coach
“Kind human, I have walked in your shoes. I was rapidly promoted through leadership roles, always being elevated to the next step but never feeling that I was good enough.”

“I broke the glass ceiling as the first female to be promoted to a head of department at the Financial Services Board, but I sat at that boardroom table feeling completely out of my depth, terrified of being judged because I was one of the youngest on the leadership team, the only woman, and also the only one in the room who was neither a Chartered Accountant nor an Actuary. It literally broke my heart leaving my 3-month-old baby at daycare, but I went back to work, because I had to “man up” and there was “important business to attend to”. I was terrified that I am going to be seen as a failure in my professional role and jeopardise my career. I wish I could travel back in time to prevent my younger self from burning out and creating an incurable autoimmune disease. But I can’t. What I CAN do , is to help others to avoid the mistakes I made.”
