Course overview

Effective leadership is about achieving results through others, and success starts with understanding personal strengths. The Emerging Leaders Programme is an immersive three-day course designed to equip new and aspiring leaders with practical tools, real-world strategies, and the confidence to lead effectively.

Delivered through interactive workshops, group discussions, and practical exercises, this programme bridges leadership theory with hands-on application. Participants will explore key leadership principles, develop essential communication and decision-making skills, and learn how to adapt their leadership style for greater impact.

Ideal for professionals stepping into leadership roles or those looking to enhance their leadership capabilities, this course provides a solid foundation for success. Participants will leave with a deeper self-awareness, a personalised leadership toolkit, and the skills to inspire and empower others.

Prior to the course start date, participants will complete an online DiSC Diagnostic to identify their preferred working style and learn how to apply this insight in their workplace to enhance their leadership effectiveness.

Here's what others are saying

“…Andrew created an encouraging and supportive environment to work within and could draw on challenging real world examples to support the practical tools presented. I left feeling positive and with a different perspective. Really enjoyed it.”

“This course was brilliant. It was abundant in leadership tips and techniques, but beyond that, allowed space for each participant to examine what motivates them, how their interactions impact others, and how they can best empower people. As well as feeling more equipped for handling a range of situations with my managers and team members, I now feel how I approach my work aligns better with my values.”

“Andrew is an engaging, and highly experienced facilitator who was able to uplift all members of the course’s skills, knowledge & abilities in leadership.”
