Overview

Leadership Elevated is where you move beyond managing tasks and start shaping direction. It’s designed for leaders who are ready to strengthen their strategic thinking, refine how they influence others and operate with more clarity in complex situations. This is serious development delivered in a way that feels human, energising and accessible. Expect straight talking insight, practical tools and the kind of real conversations that shift how you lead.

You won’t sit back and listen.

You’ll think, test ideas, question old habits and elevate how you operate.

How the Experience Works

This is a face to face, high involvement experience where strategic thinking comes to life. You’ll explore real scenarios, challenge your assumptions and strengthen the leadership habits that matter at this level.

And because leadership doesn’t stop when the session ends, you also get access to future focused tools that support your ongoing development:

The Academy Mentor – The Strategist Edition  

Your AI supported strategic thinking partner, built specifically for Level 5 leaders. It helps you step back, analyse situations, test decisions and build clearer thinking  without needing to wait for a team meeting or a sounding board.

Practical strategic tools  

Frameworks, prompts and templates that sharpen your influence, decision making and communication in the real world.

Advanced leadership resources  

Insights, activities and thinking tools that deepen your capability long after the programme ends.

This is strategic development delivered in a refreshingly human way with high support, high challenge and plenty of space to stretch without feeling judged.

Why Choose This Programme

Because leading strategically isn’t about job titles — it’s about mindset, clarity and capability.

Leadership Elevated strengthens how you think, how you influence and how you operate when things aren’t straightforward. It gives you the confidence to step into bigger conversations and the skill to lead with credibility and impact.

It’s development with depth, delivered in a way that keeps people engaged, laughing and genuinely learning.
