Leadership is an essential part of managing a team. Some people are natural leaders, but for many, it’s a skill that needs to be developed and practiced.
The challenge is that, in a busy workplace, the importance of leadership development can often be overlooked.
The Leading self programme has been designed to give leaders, or aspiring leaders, insight into themselves, their effectiveness, and the influence and impact they have on the people they manage.
After completing Leading self your people will be able to:
As you explore and embrace your core values in this course, you'll gain a deeper understanding of what drives you, helping you lead with authenticity and purpose. This journey of self-discovery will empower you to inspire and motivate those around you, fostering a positive and productive environment.
Do you know your personality style? Understanding this is important because it helps you recognise your preferences and avoid unnecessary conflicts. This knowledge also allows you to adapt your behaviour, appreciate diversity, make better decisions, and develop better relationships with others.
Knowing your strengths, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities is a vital part of being a self-aware leader. When you understand what you're good at, you can use those skills to motivate and guide your team. At the same time, recognising your weaknesses allows you to seek help and grow, and acknowledging your vulnerabilities creates trust with others.
Understanding and managing emotions—yours and others'—can make you a stronger, more effective leader. A strong EQ can make all the difference in motivating your team, improving work relationships, and creating a positive environment for everyone.
To get the very best out of any team, you should recognise that great leadership is an essential part of effective management. When you can balance the responsibilities of both roles, you can become more effective at leading teams and driving organisational success.
When you're an effective communicator, you will build stronger connections, collaborate more easily, and achieve better results. Whether you're leading a team, managing a project, or collaborating with peers, clear and impactful communication is a skill that makes all the difference.
Goal-setting isn’t just about checking off tasks—it’s about creating purpose, inspiring action, and delivering measurable results. Goals provide direction, drive progress, and align your team with your vision. Without them, even the most talented teams can feel unfocused or uncertain about where to direct their efforts.
As a leader, time is one of your most valuable resources. So, given how valuable it is, you need some practical strategies for controlling your schedule, evaluating where your time is going, and ensuring it aligns with your priorities. By working smarter, you’ll free up time for what matters most—leading with purpose and achieving your goals.
The ability to lead others is an essential part of management. In fact, it could be argued that it’s a non-negotiable management skill.
Some people have a natural tendency towards leadership, but for many, it’s a skill that needs to be learned and practised.
The Leading others programme focuses on your team and how you can bring the best out of your team using some simple, but very effective leadership techniques and skills.
After completing Leading self and Leading others, your people will be able to:
Identify where your team is currently at in their development—forming, storming, norming or performing—and determine the actions you need to take to move them from good to great.
Lead an effective, high performing team by ensuring everyone is clear on the goals, roles, processes and responsibilities within the team.

Recruiting the right people is crucial for your workplace. And getting it wrong can cost your business, your team and your customers.
The Recruit for success programme has been designed to help people understand their responsibilities and develop the skills unique to their role when recruiting, helping to make successful hires every time.
After completing Recruit for success, your people will be able to:
New to recruiting? Not sure what’s involved and where to start? Don’t panic! An effective recruitment process will help you find and hire the best candidates for the roles you’re looking to fill. Understanding who you're looking for and how to prepare will set you up for success.
Have you ever considered how your own bias may be influencing the type of team you employ? One of the key things you can do to create a diverse workforce is to have fair hiring practices. Check out our course Recruiting Fairly on how to achieve this.
Your job ad may be the first experience job seekers have with your workplace, so it’s important to get it right. A well-written job ad will ‘sell the role’ and attract some awesome candidates. And it all comes down to the words that you use.
Building a quality candidate shortlist is an essential step in the recruitment process. By focusing on the best candidates for the job, you’ll save time and energy when it comes to interviewing and selection.
An interview is more than just a set of questions. It’s also about how you prepare, how you help your candidates relax, and how you create a positive experience so your candidate WANTS to work for you.
Building and refining interview skills takes practice. To help you get more from your candidates, you’ll need to know how to guide the conversations and listen to their responses so you can understand them. And you’ll also need to know how to manage the unexpected!
Candidate selection is the final step in the hiring process and can be the most challenging. To avoid making a poor decision, you need to take a fair and matter-of-fact approach with each of your candidates. And you’ll need to make reference checks for those you’re considering to support and challenge your decision-making.
