About the course
Leadership is about more than just strategies and decisions – it’s about building strong relationships and knowing how to communicate. Leaders spend around 80%* of their time communicating, and this course helps you build trust, engagement, and safety in your leadership style. We focus on hands-on practice in small groups, with lots of time for feedback and reflection. You’ll develop your communication skills quickly and leave with practical tools you can use right away at work.
Our method – ERL – takes a deeper approach. It involves your whole self: body, mind and how you relate to others. You’ll learn how to navigate tough conversations, read body language, and use non-verbal cues to lead with more impact. It’s a safe space where you can try things out, reflect and grow – both as a leader and as a person.
This isn’t just a communication course. It’s a journey of self-awareness and leadership, giving you the confidence to grow – and to help others grow as well.
