Inspiring Leadership Development for Australian Business and Government

Executive Leadership Australia’s aim is to assist senior executives in becoming more effective as leaders by:

Inspiring leadership which is based on trust and respect.
Developing the capability to address the key challenges that impede their leadership effectiveness.

Developing Leadership Capability

We focus on developing the leadership capability of leaders and their teams through transformational learning experiences.

We specialise in providing issues-based leadership development programs where participants work on real issues in real time. By harnessing the collective wisdom of peers, participants are able to develop their ability to respond effectively to their most significant challenges.This approach enables leaders to achieve meaningful results, cultivate productive working relationships and foster effective cross functional collaboration.

We also provide a range of related leadership development, facilitation, coaching and mentoring services which are all based on mutual learning, trust and respect.

Our Speciality

Executive Leadership Australia (ELA) focuses on developing the leadership capability required to function effectively under conditions of increasing complexity, uncertainty and change.

By working with us on real issues in real time, we enable leaders to develop the clarity and conviction necessary to lead with distinction when it really matters.

We specialise in developing leadership capability through experiential learning group programs. By grounding participants’ learning experiences in their specific work contexts, we ensure that our programs are realistic and relevant.

Participant feedback forms an integral part of our programs. It allows us to continually assess what is effective and how we could improve our service offerings. Below is some of the feedback we have received regarding our leadership development programs:

“Excellent facilitation that follows the brief given. Very strong skills in this area. Firm but with great respect – sometimes far more than we deserved! I also thought the facilitator was very skilled at inserting valuable insights of his own.”

“The facilitation was superb. Thank you. We were kept on track at all times (when it was easy to get side tracked and bogged down in details). I felt comfortable to be open and honest and felt I was in a safe environment. I don’t believe I would have felt that way if the facilitator had not been there.“

“I would say that facilitator is highly skilled in managing the group dynamic and was able to steer a diverse group through a complex maze. It is said that getting lawyers to work cohesively was like herding cats. Our facilitator is a very good cat herder.”

“The facilitator was very engaging, thought-provoking and enjoyable to spend time with.”

“The content of the program was very practical, useful and insightful.“

“The program actually reinforced to me that constructive, respectful honesty is always the best

option. Having the courage to say the things that are difficult at times is essential to have a pure and productive working environment. The most important take home message for me was that “by not having the difficult conversation in fact is doing an injustice to the person and your relationship with them”. This workshop enabled me to understand that it is ok to be open and honest as long as intention is meaningful and fair.”

“I now have a much greater insight into the concept of leadership and some very thought-provoking

ideas about difficult conversations.“

“The personal investment from attending the sessions with the support of our organisation has

been extremely worthwhile and has shaped my professional and personal approach significantly.”

“The real value was to see and experience the growth of each of my colleagues as we all

individually acknowledged our development. The ability to impact a group with a broad professional

experience and knowledge and for them to acknowledge the benefit and growth was truly inspiring

and gratifying.”

“Working with the facilitators has been instrumental to me and my senior colleagues in our ongoing

success and development as business leaders.”

“I would highly recommend this workshop and have done so. For me I would say that this program reinforces the importance of speaking your truth, gives you the tools to do so in a productive respectful manner and also gives you the tools to see how others may perceive your actions.”

“The facilitator provided myself and the team with invaluable insight into how we can enrich our approach in communicating and dealing with those uncomfortable situations that we all find ourselves in upon a daily basis.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the past two days and found it very productive both from the perspective of relationship building and also from the perspective of providing our Partner team with some useful frameworks and tools to maximise our engagement with each other, the market and our people. The facilitation of our diverse (and dare I say opinionated) team was excellent, providing us with a safe environment to discuss issues, and the right balance of a framework for discussion without too many constraints. I also found the tools and advice provided very useful and practical.”
