This immersive 2-day program is designed to help leaders strengthen their confidence, sharpen core leadership and management skills, and develop the mindset needed to inspire high performance in themselves and others. The program balances practical tools with self-reflection, ensuring participants walk away with strategies they can apply immediately in the workplace.

​

This program is delivered by People Tank as a stand-alone option, separate from our more extensive tiered leadership pathways for Emerging through to Senior Leaders. It provides a cost-effective solution for organisations seeking to build foundational leadership capability without the investment required for longer, multi-tiered programs. Ideal for businesses with limited budgets, it still ensures managers and leaders gain essential, practical skills to lead with confidence.
