What I Offer

Emergent Leader Program

For leaders within the same organisation

While this program is designed to support those who aspire to lead, as well as those newly appointed to leadership roles, seasoned leaders will also benefit.

It seeks to highlight the nature of people while building relevant leadership skills and is structured to provide the time to reflect and embed each learning area within the context of busy work environments and workloads.

It is designed to be conducted with teams from the same organisation and can also be adapted for individual team needs.

It includes homework, accountability, and unlimited access to me, all to further enhance effectiveness.

Content

Self-Awareness and Emotional Intelligence
Develop a deeper understanding of your personal values, emotional triggers, and behavioural patterns. Learn how emotions shape your decisions, influence your leadership presence, and impact the quality of your relationships. We will also review leadership styles, their strengths and weaknesses, when to use them, along with identifying your potential default style.

Leading People #1. Social Styles and Personality
Explore the default behaviours and communication preferences of yourself, your team, and your colleagues. Gain practical insight into how different personality styles interact, and how to adapt your approach to strengthen teamwork and performance.

Leading People #2. The Conditions for Motivating and Engaging Others
Discover what drives people, how to tap into intrinsic motivation, and how to create conditions where others perform at their best. Build skill and confidence in addressing issues early, navigating disagreement, and maintaining relationships while resolving tension.

Leading People #3. Moving from managing others to coaching others
This session deals with practical coaching skills that help leaders unlock potential in their teams. Participants learn how to use powerful questioning, active listening, and feedback techniques to deepen insight, build confidence, and drive self-directed performance improvement. We will also discuss the associated challenges and tactics you can use when moving from being "one of the team" to "leading the team."

From Operations to Strategy. Strategic Thinking and Big-Picture Awareness
Learn to think beyond the immediate task by aligning work with organisational goals and identifying opportunities for improvement or innovation. We will look at the components of strategy and its relationship to business and departmental planning.

Time and Task Management #1: Master Time, Harness Energy
Helping leaders understand where their time really goes and how to shift from reactive busyness to deliberate focus. Participants learn to identify their daily energy peaks and troughs, when to do high or low-value work, manage interruptions, and prioritise effectively.

Time and Task Management #2: Working Smarter with Systems and Habits
Building on the previous session, this module explores practical tools and structures to sustain productivity over time. Learn how to plan strategically, streamline recurring tasks, delegate with clarity, and establish habits that maintain energy and focus.

Flex session
This session is intentionally left open to address key themes that have emerged from the previous sessions and to allow time for deeper discussion and extended Q&A. It also allows the CEO to request a specific session for when the program is being completed with one company’s team.

Developing Your Leadership Presence and Path Forward

What others have said

Your session with my team was professional, informative and very helpful in extending our thinking on behavioural types and the choice of appropriate communication styles to use within our team and with stakeholders. DR ROB FLOYD - DEPARTMENT OF THE PRIME MINISTER AND CABINET

I have been the CEO of multinational and privately owned corporations for over 45 years. During that period, I have engaged numerous consultants, but none had the ability that Ray has to interact with people at any level and bring about a sound result.
