INNER CIRCLE
Self-leadership program

Leadership skills are needed now more than ever, whether you have people reporting to you or not.

This is not a standard leadership training program focusing on boring Management Theory 101. Available as a public or in-house offering, it enables a deep understanding of human behaviour and incorporates neuroscience, diversity elements and culturally appropriate leadership practices.

Our program helps professionals lead from their heart, THEIR way.

One of our participants recently submitted the program outline as part of credit towards her Masters in Engineering studies, and it was recognised by Southern Cross University to count towards credit for academic units PROJ6007 (Stakeholder Engagement) and MGMT6003 (The Positive Leader).

We don’t believe in cookie-cutter leadership

Presented over 3 months, this journey includes confidential 1:1 as well as group coaching sessions, assessments, experiential learning, mentoring, e-learning and instruction. Modules incorporate human centred, holistic leadership, positive psychology principles, coaching and workplace resilience strategies. The program is customised for each cohort based on the unique individual styles and the characteristics of participants’ teams and is also available as an in-house corporate program.

“Blyde, before working with you I felt like a failure. My team wasn’t working well together, nobody was meeting deadlines and everything was just too hard. I worked longer and longer hours, thinking it will help if I just get a few projects over the line. You helped me uncover what prevented me from leading my team from my heart, in a way that felt comfortable to ME and aligned with my natural flow. My team has started working together in a way that is bringing out the best in them. I feel much more comfortable at executive meetings now, no longer out of my depth and afraid of being judged.”

Meet Your Coach

“Kind human, I have walked in your shoes. I was rapidly promoted through leadership roles, always being elevated to the next step but always doubting myself for being there.”

“I broke the glass ceiling as the first female to be promoted to a head of department at the Financial Services Board, but I sat at that boardroom table feeling completely out of my depth, terrified of being judged because I was one of the youngest on the leadership team, the only woman, and also the only one in the room who was neither a Chartered Accountant nor an Actuary. It literally broke my heart leaving my 3-month-old baby at daycare, but I went back to work, because I had to “man up” and there was “important business to attend to”. I was terrified that I am going to be seen as a failure in my professional role and jeopardise my career. I wish I could travel back in time to prevent my younger self from burning out and creating an incurable autoimmune disease. But I can’t. What I CAN do , is to help you build confidence and avoid the mistakes I made.”

What Our Valued Clients Say

team management profile

Team Management Profile

All our work is evidence-based. Our psychometric profiles for teams and individuals
have been endorsed by the British Psychological Society and continuously benchmarked against global norm data. These profiles have delivered solid frameworks in the development of leadership skills, personal development and high performing teams for more than 30 years.

Understanding work preferences is a critical component in developing individual,
team, group and organisational performance. Endorsed by the British Psychological Society, Team Management Systems’ Team Management Profile (“TMP”) Questionnaire focuses on enhancing understanding of an individual’s approach to work which provides constructive, work-based information outlining an individual’s work and communication preferences. It takes only 10 minutes to complete and has been used extensively in the development of high-performing teams globally.

The benefits of understanding others’ work preference include – amongst others:

The TMP also enables teams to identify bind spots. For example, if the team’s work preferences are under represented in one area, it may lead to issues such as insufficient focus on governance and risk. Various tools and diagnostics are provided to enable the team to do quick 10-minute check-ins to continuously assess performance on certain aspects (e.g how well a project team is tracking).

The TMP is used in a variety of ways. Some examples include:
