Become a confident, proactive leader
Welcome to the Leadership Strategies Series – a pathway to level up your public sector leadership skills
Do you ever feel like being a leader means navigating constant chaos or complexity?

Like no matter how hard you try, finding balance seems impossible in a high-pressure environment filled with competing priorities, limited resources, and a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape?
If so, you are not alone! Feeling this way doesn’t mean you’re a bad leader or that your workplace is beyond help. It simply reflects the challenging (global) environment you’re operating in right now.
Our world has become more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) than perhaps any time in modern history. Leading in this new VUCA world demands a shift away from traditional models, towards a leadership style that is:
- adaptive – to respond quickly to change
- collaborative – to build strong partnerships and leverage diverse insights
- systems-oriented – to see the bigger picture and drive sustainable impact
Finding the balance you seek is possible when you have the skills to put this new leadership style into practice. You can empower meaningful transformation within yourself, your team, and the broader public sector ecosystem.
A personalised, holistic approach to leadership transformation
Designed specifically for public sector leaders, the Leadership Strategies Series empowers leaders to shift from reactive to proactive leadership.
In this series, you’ll have an opportunity to level up your leadership skills with:
- cutting edge leadership strategies
- coaching from public sector experts and industry professionals
- personalised assessments
- access to advanced psychometric tools
- individualised feedback
- tailored action plans
Delivered across two stages (Essentials and Enhanced), the Leadership Strategies Series addresses real-world public sector leadership challenges with novel, practical, and inspiring insights.

Discover your pathway to leadership transformation

The Leadership Strategies Series is designed as a comprehensive pathway to develop essential and enhanced leadership skills through two progressive levels: Essentials and Enhanced.
Each level builds upon the last, guiding you from establishing foundational skills to mastering the tools needed for systemic impact within your agency.
- Essentials: Builds the foundation for confident leadership, especially in times of uncertainty and when engaging with teams and stakeholders.
- Enhanced: Empowers you to expand your influence with skills that drive high performance while protecting health and wellbeing.
Essentials: Build the foundation for impactful leadership

The Essentials level comprises two workshops delivered over two days. They include:
Day 1: Explorer Mindset
Discover new frameworks and tools critical for today’s public sector leaders. Learn to navigate complex challenges and lead with adaptability.
Day 2: Emotional intelligence
Develop skills to foster psychological safety and build stronger relationships within your team. These are key drivers that enhance collaboration, boost engagement, and lead to more effective problem-solving.

Exclusive opportunity for Enhanced participants
During this time, you can join a facilitated peer mentoring session to share challenges, gain insights, and strengthen your skills through collaborative learning.
Enhanced: Take your leadership skills to new heights
Following 6 weeks to apply and integrate, the Enhanced level will empower you to integrate leadership with personal and team wellbeing for sustainable performance. It includes two workshops delivered over two days:
Day 3: Balance wellbeing and performance
Explore how to balance wellbeing and performance, and learn to lead effectively while preventing burnout for yourself and your team.
Day 4: Mastering collaboration
Refine your ability to lead complex, cross-functional teams and projects. Foster innovation through effective collaboration for success in dynamic, high-stakes environments.
