What is a Learning Tank?
-
Learning Tanks are a continuation of leadership development journey, focused on reinforcing and applying the skills learned in previous workshops and how these have been applied back in the workplace. This is a great opportunity for leaders to discuss with their peers on what has worked, what challenges they’ve faced, and where they need additional support.
-
Each Learning Tank is delivered as a 90-minute virtual sessions designed to reinforce the key lessons from the previous workshop.
-
The group coaching session will be led by the same experienced facilitator who guided the original workshop.
-
Scheduled 6-8 weeks after the initial training, Learning Tanks provide leaders with the opportunity to revisit critical concepts, share their experiences, and receive additional coaching by our experts.
-
Measure the impact through feedback and performance metrics to ensure that the learning translates into tangible results.
Why Learning Tanks are important:
-
Learning Tanks ensure that the training received during the initial workshop is not only retained but also effectively applied in real-world scenarios.
-
By revisiting the material with the original facilitator and peers, leaders will solidify the learning, troubleshoot challenges, and gain new insights.
-
This ongoing support enhances the return on investment (ROI) by ensuring that the skills and knowledge gained are actively contributing to improved performance, better decision-making, and sustained growth within the organisation.
-
The continued focus on development helps maximise the impact of the initial training, driving long-term value for both the leaders and the business.

Survival guide to thrive in diverse environments
01
Adapting to Thrive in Diverse Environments: A Leader's Guide
In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to adapt is no longer just a nice-to-have skill - it’s a necessity, particularly for leaders. As workplaces become increasingly diverse, with people from various cultural, generational, and professional backgrounds coming together, the challenge for leaders is not only to manage but to thrive in this diversity. To lead effectively in such environments, one must develop a mindset that embraces change, fosters inclusivity, and leverages the unique strengths of every team member.
Embracing Diversity as a Strength
The first step to thriving in diverse environments is to shift the perception of diversity from being a challenge to being a strength. Diverse teams bring a variety of perspectives, experiences, and skills, which can lead to more innovative solutions and better decision-making. Leaders who recognise this potential are more likely to create an environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
To embrace diversity, leaders should:
-
Actively listen to all voices: Encourage open dialogue where team members feel comfortable sharing their ideas and opinions, regardless of their background or position.
-
Acknowledge and address biases: Be aware of unconscious biases that might influence decisions and work to mitigate them.
-
Celebrate differences: Recognise and celebrate the unique contributions of each team member, fostering an inclusive culture.
02
Mastering Self: The Art of Self-Leadership
At its core, Self-Leadership is about knowing yourself - your strengths, weaknesses, values, and aspirations, and using that knowledge to guide your decisions and actions.
It involves setting clear goals, staying focused, and holding yourself accountable for your progress. Self-leadership is not just about leading others; it’s about leading yourself first.
