We work with you to build fearlessly connected collaborators – the leadership and team superpower in today’s world of work
When it comes to leading a successful team, the person you need to start with is yourself.
Become a values-driven leader with a deliberate approach and you will unlock impact – for yourself, and for others.
VUCA stands for volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous.
Given the speed at which our workplaces are evolving, the right leadership approach avoids ‘command and control’ and instead focuses on finding the balance between strength and warmth; results through relationships. This takes an intentional approach.

I worked with Sheila when my career had stagnated and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do next. Initially i had my doubts that the programme could assist me but from the very first session Sheila was helping me on my journey.
What differentiated Sheila from other career development programmes was that she individualised our sessions.
She listened, took time to understand me, my strengths and areas that required further development.
Sheila was also a wonderful advocate, assisting me in asking my organisation to support me and alter the environment to better support me.
I really missed our sessions when they ended, but often draw on the learnings of that time and thankfully Sheila continues to reach out to see how i am tracking

Sheila’s Leader as Team Coach program has been one of the most well-received leadership programs that Legal Aid NSW has implemented.

Two others attributed their recent success in securing more senior roles to the course.
We intend to embed Leader as Team Coach as one of our flagship offerings in our management and development framework; and see it as central to increasing alignment and collaboration within and across teams.
