There are 9 sessions in total. Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes, and includes the following:
Recover
- Overcoming Imposter Syndrome = Is it imposter syndrome? This session provides a brief exploration into what imposter syndrome is, what the causes are, the various types and it’s relative. Learners are empowered with valuable tips and a 3-step strategy to overcome imposter syndrome so they can fulfil potential and own accomplishments.

Learn what resilience is and how it enables us to maintain wellbeing, adapt to change and overcome obstacles in a world where change is constant. Learners leave this session understanding what promotes resilience and simple steps to implement to build it.
- Adopting a Growth Mindset = Growth is inevitable, at first. As we get older growth becomes optional. A growth mindset is invaluable for a leader who wants to flourish. The session outlines what a growth mindset is, the benefits of having one, and the different types of mindset, as well as how to develop a growth mindset so you can become an empowered, effective leader who encourages growth in others.
Reconnect
- Managing Difficult Conversations = What makes it so hard to have certain conversations? In this session we look at the reasons. Developing our ability to have difficult conversations, is integral to our ability to lead. Learners acquire a strategy about how to have difficult conversations, with an added consideration which allow the other person feel as valuable as possible.
- The Power of Focus & Feedback= Great leaders empower others and therefore it’s important they are equipped to recognise and utilise the power they have, with the right tools to assist them. Focus and feedback are powerful tools for leaders and this session equips them with the understanding necessary to effectively use tools to enhance their capacity to lead and be an effective leader.
- Effective Personal Communication = Communication takes place every of the day but how effective is it? And do you know what makes communication effective? Ineffective communication leads to ineffective leadership. So, this session brings clarity and understanding of the simple steps we can take to ensure our communication is the key part of our effective leadership that it needs to be.
Rise
- Leadership vs Management? = Not all managers are leaders and not all leaders are managers. However, it’s possible to be both and ideally that would be the case. In this session the difference between leadership and management is clarified along with the benefits of both. Learners are also informed of when to lean into leadership and when to lead into management.
- Branding You = What does an individual stand for? What makes them unique? These are examples of the key questions every leader benefits from considering when developing their personal brand. This session clarifies what personal branding is, why it’s important for leaders, key aspects and the steps that can be taken to build a personal brand which supports a leader to flourish.
- Resolving Conflict = Conflict will happen and resolving it is a leader’s responsibility. Therefore, developing the skills to resolve it well is essential for every leader. Common causes of conflict, how to prevent and a straightforward strategy for conflict resolution is shared to enable learners to better deals with a major challenge of leadership.
