Transforming Your Top Performers into Effective Leaders
Because it takes more than subject matter expertise to be a great leader.
CONTACT USThe Challenge
Promoting your best performers into leadership roles is smart and it’s risky.
Left alone to figure it out, even the best-intentioned leaders may:
- Avoid difficult conversations, allowing problems to fester.
- Struggle to motivate different personalities.
- Fail to unlock potential, resulting in poor performance.
- Burn out trying to juggle leading and doing.
The result? Missed opportunities, wasted resources, and the costs associated with unwanted attrition and loss of critical skills. (And that’s before we mention complaints, grievances or Fair Work.)
THE SOLUTION
The People Skills for People Leaders Program
An evidence-based program that unlocks your organisation's true potential.
The People Skills for People Leaders is a practical, proven program that closes the gap between subject matter expertise and people leadership.
Delivered in eight x 1 hour sessions and reinforced with ten months of live learning support, the program enables participants to develop the core people skills that are the foundation of effective leadership.
The outcome? Leaders who can:
- Hold difficult conversations with ease.
- Motivate and engage diverse personalities.
- Build accountability without micromanaging.
- Strengthen culture, minimise stress and reduce people-related risks.
What it means for your organisation
When leaders gain core, effective people skills, the effects are transformative.
- Higher productivity & improved problem-solving. Skilled leaders bring out the best in teams, driving efficiency, innovation and ever-expanding capabilities.
- Stronger culture. Trust, accountability, and psychological safety become your bedrock as people become open to giving and receiving feedback and ideas.
- Healthier workplaces. Effective leadership counteracts stress and other psychosocial hazards, reducing the costs associated with absenteeism and workers comp claims.
- Greater loyalty. Employees who have the opportunity to complete the program feel valued and empowered, strengthening loyalty and skills retention.
- Cost-effective impact. When compared to the costs associated with well-intentioned but ineffective leadership, this program delivers exceptional returns.
People Skills for People Leaders enables you to unlock the potential of your leaders so they can do the same for their teams.

This program focuses only on what is needed, without onerous time committed.
I knew from personal experiences that I needed this type of course but everything I found is too broad and therefore both time-consuming and expensive. I highly recommend it."

Natasha Edwards
Program Creator
Most people want to do a good job.
In my experience, that's the starting point. But even with the best intentions, things can go off track.
The good news is that I've seen time and again how problems like low morale, poor performance, and attraction and retention issues can be solved when leaders are equipped with practical tools and techniques that develop the people side of their skillset.
The results can be life changing. When people have the skills to do their jobs well, they’re happier, more productive, more creative and more innovative. People willingly collaborate and go the extra mile. Issues arise less frequently and when they do, they are resolved quickly and effectively.
The People Skills for People Leaders program is derived from more than 25 years of experience supporting leaders across a variety of industries. If you're curious to explore how it could help you and your organisation, reach out today.
