Our leadership training, coaching and facilitated group programs are designed with the participant's and organisation's needs in mind. We calibrate our courses to fit the level of experience and inherent knowledge of each client.
We can structure our courses to be stand alone events that fit into your training plan and/or work with you to create a transformational process to help lead knowledge to translate to shifts in mindsets and behaviour.
Research, by the Personnel Management Association showed that when training is combined with coaching, individuals increase their productivity by an average of 86% compared to 22% with training alone.
Leadership coaching unlocks a leader's potential to maximise his or her own performance. It helps them learn faster because it is tailored to them and their situation.
One on one or group coaching for senior leaders or high potential emerging leaders is available from our International Coaching Federation accredited coaches. Each with thousands of hours of coaching experience.
We have 3 levels of leadership coaching packages:
1. Emerging Leadership Coaching
For the newer leader who is wanting to get ready to lead or who has been promoted within the last 2 years.
2. Senior and Executive Leadership Coaching
This service is about helping experienced and competent leaders who either are aware of an area they want to develop further or want to accelerate their development and capacity overall.
3. Leadership Team Coaching
Leadership Team coaching is for a leadership team which wants to learn how to be more productive together. Things don't need to be bad for a team to engage in leadership team coaching, you just need to know that things could be better, there is room for improvement.
For the leader who has a team or teams they are leading and they want to learn how to create high performing teams. Great for middle managers and others who have to learn to be more strategic, increase their ability to influence others and have one or two areas they have identified which they want to improve in.
Craig's questions, knowledge and insights have been invaluable for each of us as leaders and accelerated our effectiveness and skills.
STEWART NOEL
MANAGING DIRECTOR,
TURBOMECA AUSTRALIA
In terms of developing individual leadership capability, each of my executive team members has personally experienced growth as they transition from good managers to great leaders. I am convinced that without this training and coaching, TAA would not have been able to achieve these results.
The clarity of our vision was reinforced and strengthened. Craig's questions, knowledge and insights have been invaluable for each of us as leaders and accelerated our effectiveness and skills.
We look forward to working with you again, in the not too distant future, and are excited to demonstrate to you how much we have grown as a leadership team.
Our Leadership Program Options
This program is designed to give people the mindsets that lead to successful self-leadership.
It is unsettling to me that many organisations are still looking to capture the perfect leadership competency and development model. The expectation is that the right skills can be developed for the right situation.
Many people are operating under the belief that the right skills help leaders execute the plan. Like all things, there is some truth to this notion. But, there are contradictions for every situation. A move that was logical yesterday might be illogical today as a result of rapid change. Consistent leadership practices are only valuable in consistent climates, which is virtually non-existent today.
For today's leaders, mindset development must come before skill-set development. We all operate with certain mindsets. These mindsets will determine where we focus, the questions we ask, and the way we perform activities. We are generally unaware of how our mindsets are impacting us and how it impacts our results.
Explore 5 Transformational Leadership Mindsets:
1. Above and Below the Line Thinking
2. Focus is Everything
3. Taking Control of Your Interpretations
4. Embracing the Unfamiliar
5. Language Creates our Experiences
This is a personal development course that is experiential, stretching and sets people up to lead themselves towards success.
By the end of the workshop participants will be able to:
- Identify the key mindsets that lead to success
- Identify which mindsets they already have and struggle with
- Develop skills to install the success mindsets in their everyday life
Leadership is all about influence. Whoever is the most influential in a room is actually the leader at the time. This training program is designed to challenge participants to think with different perspectives and consider responding to others differently by implementing different language techniques and skills and learning how to influence people. It explores the similarities and differences in people.
A powerful influencer and persuader can navigate a person in a direction (towards the light) and both parties will be committed to the finish. This program will give you an insight into other people's decision making styles and thinking styles.
By the end of the program participants will learn the skills to:
- Understand differences in others
- Create individual action plans to develop individual persuasive techniques
- Understand opposition thinking styles
- Have confidence and knowledge to invent win/win outcomes for both parties
- Understand the importance of congruency in influencing others
- Learning the 5 levels of leadership influence.
- Communicate more effectively with different personalities
- Be confident of your objectives beforehand

- Understand the importance of active problem solving

- Use active listening and questioning to unearth critical information
- Interpret information quickly
- Understand the importance of a road map in using your influencing skills
- Use different influencing styles for diverse personalities and cultures
If you desire to increase your ability to lead, to influence and get things done, then it is important to invest in learning the skills, mindsets and different aspects necessary to become an effective leader.
There is no magic pill. They take intentionality, skill and effort. The myth is that you are born as a leader or not. Study after study shows that the more effective leaders are not the charismatic, hero leader. They aren't the ones who were school captain or the loudest.

Team Coaching is an emerging strategy to maximise the performance and effectiveness of teams to drive outcomes and build team dynamics.
The complexity and competitiveness of business today, coupled with the pace of organisational change. means that organisations cannot rely on leadership from a few peak performers that rise to the top. They must utilise the resources and talents of all people at all levels in the organisation, relying on the power of teams to meet the challenges arising from globalisation of the marketplace.
Team Coaching represents a relatively new, though natural, evolution of coaching utilising the proven principles that underpin individual coaching to support team performance and development.

Coaching can help executives and Senior Leadership to succeed in environments that are ever more demanding. Based on decades of coaching at the world's leading organisations, group programs help executives reach their potential in a way that is perfectly aligned with business objectives.
The Issue:
The task of leadership is becoming more complex. Executives need to adapt as their roles change frequently. They must achieve results through others, managing multiple and continuous change initiatives. And all the while, organisations are becoming more complex. Executive coaching can help leaders to deal effectively with their demanding environment.
Whatever your aspiration, we understand what executives must do to be successful. Our executive coaching programs enable executives and teams to maximise potential and reach performance breakthroughs.

The Transformational Group leadership coaching consistently demonstrates high returns. Our coaches build on strengths and identify opportunities for development. And because our programs are both personal and contextual, we ensure that individuals' talent is aligned with the organisation's objectives.
The Transformational Group leadership coaching is a three-stage process:
When Engaged we:

I don't know how many light bulb moments I had during our sessions, but there were quite a few.

"Having a job that deals with people on a regular basis requires skills that I felt I did not have... Dealing with difficult people and being assertive when necessary.
Since beginning my coaching with Craig I have not only gained the skills I set out to achieve but so much more.
I have been able to reduce my stress levels at work, be more confident in myself as an individual and my position in the workplace. All of these skills I have been able to carry over into my personal life.
Craig is so easy to talk to and understand. He makes things make sense. I don't know how many light bulb moments I had during our sessions, but there were quite a few.
I can honestly say for the first time since I don't know when, I feel a sense of calm about my work and my life."
