Building the capability of your leaders

We know that your leaders have the largest impact on the overall success and health of your organisation. Equip them with a Brandheart customised leadership development course which will advance their leadership capability assisting them to become more conscious, courageous and transformational leaders who embrace the critical nature of their role in achieving success for your organisation.

Course: Stepping Up to Leadership Course: Conscious leadership

Brandheart’s leadership philosophy

In a nutshell, the work we do with people leaders assists them to step into their self-mastery.  Self-mastery, also known as self-leadership, is the foundation from which leaders are able to effectively lead others. 

Self-mastery is about being a conscious leader and possessing the emotional intelligence to understand, manage and motivate yourself and to handle what life throws at you.  From this foundation of self-awareness people leaders are better able to develop the relational-awareness to understand and support others and to develop meaningful connections with them. 

This diagram illustrates this simple and effective model of leadership that is at the core of Brandheart’s leadership philosophy and leadership development programmes.

“Claire ran a fantastic leadership development programme for the Ministry’s leadership team – from Chief Executive to team leader. The feedback was exceptional, with many commenting that it was the best leadership learning experience of their careers. Claire’s deep experience and ability to communicate complex concepts simply and directly made the sessions highly engaging and enjoyable. In a fast paced, changing environment Claire was able to flex and move with our people to deliver strong learning outcomes and timely and effective development. I highly recommend Claire and Brandheart.”
