About the Course
Leadership is about more than decision-making — it's about bringing others with you. In values-led organisations, the ability to influence with authenticity, empathy and purpose is essential for creating real, lasting impact. Whether you’re guiding change, shaping culture, or aligning teams around a shared goal, the way you influence matters.
This workshop supports leaders to step into their influencing power without relying on authority. It offers practical tools and approaches to build trust, engage others meaningfully, and communicate with clarity — all while staying grounded in personal and organisational values.
Participants will leave feeling more confident in their ability to create alignment, shape outcomes and inspire others — even in complex or cross-functional environments.
