Leading with Purpose

About the Course

Modern day leaders face a multitude of challenges – working with change, stakeholder engagement, inspiring and motivating their people, creating a high performance culture, making decisions, building their influence, communicating effectively, and many more. Leaders must embrace a fundamental approach that helps them meet these challenges and be highly successful in their roles. Leading with purpose is a powerful approach that helps leaders lead authentically, engage people, and lead with a more significant impact. 

Having said that, many leaders need more clarity on how to lead with purpose. This prevents them from effectively engaging their people and aligning them on key initiatives. Cracks start appearing in the team's working relationships with stakeholders, and there needs to be a guiding light in the face of crisis and setbacks. The decision-making process appears uncertain, and their credibility is negatively impacted. 

This 5-day interactive Leading with Purpose training course empowers delegates to lead authentically and with impact by connecting with their purpose. It also helps delegates develop key skills that enable them to create alignment between key stakeholders, engage and inspire people, enhance their communication, and create a high performance culture.

• Identify and connect with their purpose for key initiatives
