Your brand is important – it’s how others see and know you for who you are. If you want to take your brand to the next level, you need a sense of purpose. Following your purpose, or as Simon Sinek says, your “Why” will make you happier and more successful in life and work. Purpose-driven leaders understand what most fulfils them professionally and personally and use this personal purpose as a filter for the way they think, act and operate in service of others. This workshop will help participants uncover, clearly define and own their brand, understand and define their purpose and take steps to align both brand and purpose to achieve work and life goals.
In this workshop, we’ll identify the common internal barriers to success – the self-defeating barriers that can stall your success and undermine your power at work.

Participants will leave with a set of actionable strategies to lead with confidence.

True leadership is rooted in the core of individual well-being. Therefore, it is almost a given that you need to be well in order to lead well. In this workshop, your will define the success of your ‘well-being’ and the key tweaks that can make a positive impact on your career. You will appreciate the importance of self-care for leaders – get a wholistic and holistic toolbox for staying sane and on top of your game.
Having a great and diverse support team is essential for all leaders to gain the perspective and connections needed to take on larger roles and advance their career. In this workshop, we’ll identify the different types of supporters, why they’re important, the ones that currently exist in the team and how best to fill any gaps. Participants will learn how to become someone leaders actively seek out to support and how to effectively support and positively impact the careers of others within a support team.
Should you let that comment slide or address it head on? The only way to avoid microaggressions is to arm yourself with knowledge about microaggressions. In this workshop, we cover lots of examples of things that people think are acceptable to say at work – but are actually racist, sexist, ageist or offensive – and put strategies in place to avoid them. Participants will learn how to effectively challenge discriminatory attitudes and behaviour and how to stop themselves from saying the wrong thing too.

Returnships are important for employers to because they give people a chance to get back into their careers after a career break. Not everyone’s careers are linear, and back-to-work programs give people more opportunities to succeed when returning to the workforce. We have many years of experience in helping people return to work and use this knowledge to create programmes for organisations to help them attract, hire, develop and retain people who are ready to get back to work and often to join at senior levels.
