“What I think is the difference between some other courses that you might go and do is afterwards you are absolutely held accountable for your learning.

So rather than walking away and forgetting all about it, you have a very clear structure and a plan. And Kirsten’s there to make sure to follow up and to coach you through some of the challenges you get afterwards because it’s not plain sailing, obviously, while you’re learning and going through these journeys. ”

“I believe it really was a benefit the way that the programme was outlined. I have implemented it into my day-to-day working life as being a lot more structured using the skills that we picked up throughout the course.

I have found that my team directly has been quite responsive to it and we see to be achieving goals a lot quick with that clearer communication, which is really great for me too – makes my life easier.”

– Kane M., Regional Manager

“There were four stages over the three month period and that really gave me the accountability needed to set those learnings that I’ve gained from the Authentic Leadership programme, as well as being able to lock in some of the goals that we’d set and be able to track some of those goals as well.

Then at each stage, what was really cool was being able to see that progress as you move along. ”

– Brook Gyde, Business Manager

“One of the things that really stood out to me and was different, and I’ve been a lot of training and development courses over the years, was the specialists that did the different sessions, which was really good, kept it fresh.

The retreat week was a challenge. It was a hard week and there was some pressure points, there’s no doubt about that. However, I felt comfortable through the whole process and I think it’s a credit to Kirsten and also the other trainers. While it was uncomfortable in parts, you still felt comfortable. ”

– Mark F., Regional Manager

“Leaving with that 90 day plan of what you want to implement and then having four weeks to implement it and then have the accountability sessions in between. Having those spaced out, I think in the way, in which it was over three months was really good.

I went in wanting to come out to create a high performing team and, being able to build on what I’ve learned it’s really helped to push that forward. It’s going to have a great impact on our team. They can see the difference in how I manage as well, which has been really cool and the feedback I’m getting is really good.”

“I am very grateful for the opportunity the Leadership Collective scholarship has provided for me. After having attended the Leadership programme I came away feeling not only better skilled and more confident in all that I do, but also a fresh perspective of my role as a leader. My hauora (sense of wellbeing) was absolutely revitalised. Nga Mihi”

Julie HBusiness Manager

“A truly transformational leadership program which really helps develop managers into leaders. This training program really helps change your mindset and helps develop leadership skills.”

Lexi VHHead of Property Management

“The Authentic Leadership programme was a chance for me to connect not only with a great group of talented people but also with myself.

It taught me to lean in to the uncomfortable situations as that is how you develop and grow and to believe in yourself first and foremost. The team behind the programme all bring different skill sets and show that being an authentic leader isn't just about people management but also about looking after your team and most importantly yourself to get the best out of everyone.”

Chloe YMarketing Specialist

“Wow, wow, wow!!! This authentic leadership course is hands down the best course I have ever been on in my 10 year career.

I was nervous and hesitant about taking three days out of the office and learning with people that I didn’t know, but 3 months on from the Retreat…this has turned out to be a totally life changing experience and the benefits are ongoing.

That meant I was in an optimal learning zone, soaking up knowledge and gaining a large ‘aha moment’ every day of the course. This allowed me to make a big step change when I returned to my role where I have made solid actions to enhance my reputation and sky rocket my career over the last 3 months. Even now this progress has no sign of slowing down.

As for the life changing experience, as a budding leader this has transformed my path both personally and professionally.

I highly recommend this course to any person who wants to learn about leadership, to connect with others and it even has the ability to transform you into being a better person in every day life.”

Jade WEconomic Development Facilitator

“One of the biggest benefits that I found from the course was the accountability sessions, and having those goals in place so I knew what I was working towards. Bringing those into my routine at work has been great. Not only for me, but also for my team members.

Since returning back to work I am more self-aware of myself and my team, our different learning styles, leadership styles, and how we work.

I would definitely recommend participating in the program, not only because it was a great experience, but you meet some great people along the way and there is wrap around support the entire time.”

Maddy FMarketing & Projects ExecutiveCEO

“I liked that it was small group. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, to push the boundaries to succeed and lead well. The support you get afterwards, it doesn't just stop after the 3-days, you do get continual support.

Three takeaways - learning how to story-tell, how to deal with different personalities in the workplace, resilience and how to look after yourself to make a better working environment.

Totally recommend for all leaders.”
