Culture By Design

How to Build a Workplace People Don’t Want to Leave.

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.

You'll Learn How To:

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.

What you will walk away with:

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.

Why Attend?

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.

For just $197, you’ll gain practical skills and a fresh leadership perspective that you’ll use to make a long-lasting positive impact to your organisation.

With over 20 years in healthcare and the benefit of world-class leadership training from both my organisation and business school, I’ll admit I was initially skeptical about whether yet another masterclass would offer anything new. What I discovered instead was a refreshing and deeply valuable experience.

Wayne has a rare ability to weave through concepts many of us may already “know” and reframe them in ways that spark fresh reflection and meaningful insights. Rather than delivering a one-sided lecture, he facilitated a true reflective dialogue—both literal and mental—distilling our lived experiences as leaders and holding up a mirror to remind us who we are, what truly matters, and how to engage our people with humility and grace.

This session wasn’t about adding more tools to the leadership toolkit, but about re-centering on the very essence of leadership. Wayne exemplified everything he taught, engaging us in a way that was authentic, resonant, and lasting.

For healthcare leaders seeking to deepen their impact, I can think of no better way than to experience Wayne’s masterclass firsthand. And one tip—bring a notebook, because you’ll leave with plenty to reflect on.

I along with my team, had the privilege of attending a workshop run by Ali. Ali presented the course in a clear way that bought the whole group along with her. The feedback from my team was that this was the best workshop they had attended and that it would help them in their day to day interactions with other team members. I personally learnt more about myself and will use this not only in my work life but also in my personal life. Thank you Ali for helping me bring my best self forward.

When I signed up for the HPLS I had no idea what to expect and so was a little nervous initially, however very quickly I was able to settle and feel comfortable in the learning space that Ali and Wayne set up beautifully. After hearing the myriad of different stories, journeys, experiences and approaches from all of the presenters I came to realise my experience and career journey was no different to anyone else – I was not alone. The strategies, theory and leadership approaches we explored highlighted to me the importance of strong, firm foundations, values, leadership philosophy and how these enable me to be the leader I want to be. Having the space to focus on this and reflect on my next steps was well worthwhile and my experience at the HPLS has only reinforced and invigorated my leadership journey.
