Six Weeks to Transform How You Lead
Your capability is visible. Your results prove it.
What changes everything is how you show up in the moments that matter. The meeting where you stayed quiet. The conversation you kept putting off. The opportunity you watched someone else take.
Most leadership programs teach skills.
This program changes how you think, how you regulate, and how you show up at an identity level.
That is why the results your team notices are not something you announce. They are something they feel.
Who This Is For
For leaders who know there is another level available to them
This program is for the leader who is good at what they do and ready to close the gap between where they are and where they know they can be. Are you someone who…
Feels the pull of self-doubt in high-stakes moments, even when they know the answer?
Holds back in rooms they belong in and watches less qualified people take the floor?
Leads a team with the capability to perform at a higher level, and knows the ceiling is their own repeat patterns?
Has the ambition, skills, and drive, but keeps getting in their own way?
Is ready to stop managing the process and start leading the team more effectively?
Knows they need to lead through change and disruption, but unsure how?
The Program
Six weeks. Two live sessions per week.
Twelve hours of expert-led training, group coaching, and real-time application.
Monday Evenings 7:00 pm (AEST/AEDT)
Q&A and Group Coaching
Bring your real situations and work through them live with Elizabeth, Christine, and your cohort.
Thursday Mornings 11:00 am (AEST/AEDT)
Training Session
Expert-led, evidence-based, and immediately applicable. Every session builds on the last.
Each session runs for one hour. You leave every session with something you can use before the next one begins.
The Six-Week Arc
A purposeful progression from the inside out
The first half is about you; understanding what has been holding you back and rebuilding how you show up from the inside out. The second half turns that outward; how you communicate, lead conversations, lead through change, and build a team that performs at a higher level.
| Week | Focus | What You Walk Away With |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Know What Patterns Are Operating You | You identify the specific patterns and beliefs that have been keeping you stuck. You stop calling them personality traits and start seeing them as patterns you can change. |
| 2 | Regulate Before You Respond | You gain practical tools to manage your state in high-pressure moments, to stop reacting and start choosing your responses. The ripple effect is noticed immediately. |
| 3 | Rebuild Your Internal Voice | You replace the internal dialogue that undermines you with one that backs you. Your confidence in high-stakes moments begins to shift at a neurological level. |
| 4 | Communicate With Impact | You learn to speak with clarity, conviction, and courage. You have the conversations you have been avoiding. You stop over-explaining and start leading with influence. |
| 5 | Lead Through Change and Conflict | You apply what you have built internally to how you lead others. You know how to create accountability, give feedback that lands, and hold the standard without burnout. |
| 6 | Build a High-Performing Team | You develop a clear picture of what a high-performing team looks like, what it takes to build one, and know exactly what you need to do next to get there. |

In Their Words
What leaders say
The skills learned from you have really helped me to improve my leadership, secure a multimillion dollar grant and keep going.
Dr Haruna Suzuki-Kerr
Research Fellow, University of Auckland
Two words that summarise my experience... LIFE CHANGING. I overcame irrational fears, found my voice and now see opportunities everywhere, which I jump at.
Celeste Cleary
Former Critical Care Nurse, now Health and Wellness Coach
The NPC framework has given me space between thought and response. That space has changed how I lead, in difficult conversations, under pressure, and in the moments that matter most to the person, the team and the firm.

Partner, Accountant
The Methodology
Evidence-based Immediately applicable
Our methodology brings together established research in Authentic Leadership, Positive Psychology, Psychological Capital, Neuroscience and Behavioural Science. We translate that evidence into practical strategies leaders can apply immediately, in the moments that matter.
Built on more than five decades of combined experience, these strategies have been used and refined with thousands of leaders across corporate, healthcare, government and academia.
The research is consistent. The leaders who build high-performing teams are not the ones who know the most. They are the ones who know themselves best.
The NPC Formula. Courageous Conversations. Psychological Capital. The BE DO HAVE leadership model.
These are not just frameworks you study in theory. They are tools you apply in the session and take into your team the same week.
