Leadership Development Programs
Quick links for Leadership Development Program details
Highly developed people leadership skills form the foundation of a well-functioning organisation and a satisfying career.
Leaders require exceptional skills to lead themselves, and their teams through the overwhelming challenges and unprecedented demands they face.
Many leaders are often promoted into leadership roles due to their clinical expertise, and may lack awareness about evidence-based leadership principles and leadership frameworks. This can lead them to feel rudderless in navigating the complexity of leadership roles.
Contemporary people leadership research emphasises the value of emotional intelligence, psychological safety, a strengths-focus, and applying principles from neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology.
These evidence-based approaches are invaluable in achieving what we want - a high performing, productive workforce who are engaged and energised.
Michelle is an expert in people leadership development; she is rigorous in drawing on research and decades of experience facilitating and coaching leaders, informed by extensive training and her own leadership experience.
Michelle’s book on leadership, Leading Above the Line: Applying neuroscience to build psychologically safe and thriving teams, reflects her depth of knowledge in leadership of self, others and teams.

"Being a leader in a complicated public health care system has always challenged my core values. Attending a variety of Michelle’s leadership courses has helped me to develop terminology and frameworks to enhance my leadership skills and has given me the confidence to champion these values. Michelle has been integral in the development of my leadership style and I would highly recommend any of her training sessions. "
