Smart human skills: Masterclasses for team leaders
Modern leaders have a lot on their plates.
A team leader has to inspire people towards collective, goal-centred action and positive results on time and budget, whilst managing the delicate task of nurturing healthy cultures and wellbeing.
Some days, it can feel like an elephant-sized mission.
Our masterclass series, One Bite at a Time, is designed for busy team leaders and managers who want regular doses of leadership know-how.
In each masterclass, you will gain:
- a good understanding of the topic
- practical tools and techniques that can be applied straight away, and
- a greater sense of empowerment as a team leader or manager.
What makes these sessions really juicy is we go beyond the theory to explore and work through real scenarios and case studies.
For those who want more tailored support with developing skills, confidence and culture, our certified coaches also offer one-on-one coaching and live workshops at our venue or yours.

Client review
"I just wanted to say thanks for your fantastic teaching. I took away so much, gaining confidence in my ability to be a leader and have since landed a new role. While previously I was managing a team of 3, I will now be responsible for leading a team of 10. I look forward to continuing to put my learnings into practice. Thanks."
