In this full-day, highly interactive session, you’ll learn how to:
Redefine culture beyond buzzwords and set it up as your strategic advantage.
Handle the conversations most leaders avoid—performance feedback, conflict, accountability—without damaging relationships or draining your energy.
Leave with practical tools, frameworks, and confidence to turn tension into trust.
If you’re a local leader ready to build a thriving culture and strengthen your ability to lead difficult conversations, this workshop is for you.
“ It’s great to take the time to spend time with people from other industries facing similar challenges. My key take away for me has been making sure we prioritise leadership training for myself yourself and for the leaders in our organisation as well”

✅ Managers and team leaders at all levels who want to create more engaged, high performing teams.
✅ HR professionals and culture campions looking to drive engagement between strategy and culture.
✅ Anyone involved in attracting, developing, or retaining talent and shaping employee experience.
Whether you're leading a department, building a team, or influencing people strategy, this session gives you the clarity and tools to lead culture intentionally.
Define your ideal workplace culture - in a way that’s clear, meaningful, and strategically aligned with your goals.
Establish systems, behaviours, and daily routines that embed your culture into everyday operations—turning values into action.
Protect and evolve your culture during periods of growth, change, or pressure—without losing what makes your team strong.
Prepare for and navigate high-stakes
conversations—with clarity, confidence, and composure.
Deliver difficult feedback in a way that builds trust and strengthens relationships, rather than creating tension.
Stay emotionally grounded and regulated—especially when tensions run high (whether it’s your emotions or theirs).
Recognise and respond to defensive reactions early—before they escalate and derail the conversation.
A practical framework for designing a thriving culture in your team or business
Clarity on what drives attraction and retention of the right people
Strategies to foster high engagement through leadership behaviour and everyday habits
A practical toolkit you can use to tackle difficult conversations, build motivation, trust, and commitment — even under pressure
Scripts, prompts, and planning tools for the tough talks every leader eventually faces.
Because the culture you build determines the people you attract, the performance you get, and the reputation you earn.
This session helps you lead that culture — intentionally, strategically, and sustainably.
