Why Choose Us
Our leadership programs are tailored to your industry, business and strategic objectives. They are well-researched, evidence-based, modern and inspiring. Importantly they are mostly taught by our founder Kristyn Haywood who is a top expert in the field of leadership education and a leader herself. Highly capable, experienced leadership trainers are critical to developing strong leaders. We can adapt the materials, models, research and activities to any context making the learning immediately applicable. Those who don't have experience leave it to the participant to make sense of the content which doesn't always translate into learning.
Our Founder/Leadership Educator - Kristyn Haywood
Kristyn is wildly passionate about great leadership. What else is more important? As an experienced values-based leadership educator, executive coach, and facilitator Kristyn works in partnership with businesses to develop strong values-based leaders capable of building agile, human-centred, customer-centric and ethical workplace leaders and cultures.
Kristyn has a Master's thesis on Leadership, has read hundreds of books, listened to dozens more and has been to almost every live event with my favourite educators including Brene Brown, Simon Sinek, and Patrick Lencioni. Kristyn has more than 15 leadership coaching qualifications/accreditations. She has educated over a thousand leaders in Australia and overseas. A leader herself, she Chairs a Strata Committee (300 units), and is the Founder of a not-for-profit Expand Now which helps women stand in their power and build their confidence. Before becoming an obsessive Leadership Educator Kristyn was, for many years, a HR Executive. Most importantly, she still loves this important work. Kristyn is the lead facilitator for all our Leadership Development Programs.
