Why Register Now?
Now more than ever people are looking for leadership – strong leadership!
They want to know that someone is looking out for them.
They want to know that someone is in charge; someone is making the decisions.
Leadership skills are essential, especially in these uncertain times.
This 4 Day Intensive Experience is held face to face, but will maintain social distancing and cleaning protocols to ensure your safety at all times.
We will also have masks and sanitiser on hand if required for any of the activities.
The skills you develop now will last you a lifetime. Not only will they help you navigate these uncertain times, they’ll help you position yourself for the future so you can capitalise on your momentum.
Developing yourself and learning how to understand and REACH your people is an investment that will pay you over and over and over.

The Leading Yourself and Leading Others Experience
The fact that you’re here tells me you’re interested in developing yourself as a leader.
The question you’re most likely asking yourself is “How do I choose the right leadership training program for me?”
The answer is, “It depends on what you’re looking for.”
If you’re looking for practical skills that you can implement straight away without having to complete lengthy academic assignments, then the Leading Yourself and Leading Others experience might be just what you need.
Conducted in your own safe and supportive small group environment – you’ll attend 4 full day workshops in February 2025, plus receive individual coaching to accelerate your learning and implementation.
Is It Right For You?
This program is experiential and educational. You’ll learn the skills to be a confident leader – taking responsibility and following through on the right actions. You’ll know exactly what to say and how to say it to your team. You’ll learn how to read your people and understand their motivations, aspirations and different personalities. You’ll also better understand yourself and learn how to manage yourself and your emotions.
The Leading Yourself and Leading Others experience is for you if:
- You want to navigate the current uncertainty and lead your team to victory
- You want support from other like-minded individuals
- You want your workplace to be safe and productive
- You’re stretched thin by constant requests for help
- You want to implement change yet your team are resisting
- You want to expand your knowledge about leadership to help yourself
- You want to become a strong and confident leader
- You want to learn more about how to understand and deal with multiple personalities to help them reach their full potential
- You want to be able to better contribute to the management team
- You want different ideas on how to manage the things that are thrown at you so you can respond rather than react
- You want to improve your communication skills
- and above all, you want to have more confidence in yourself – You Can Do This!
It’s a case of “You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know”.
Without the right type of training, insights and experiences you’ll most likely feel frustrated and out of control and definitely not confident, which is something your team needs right now.
- you don’t see the importance of stepping up now
- you don’t want to take on the responsibility of leading your team
- you want to spend hours on academic study
- you’re not open to discovering more about yourself and how you show up in the world
The Pathway to Becoming a Great Leader Starts with You
The next stage is to Develop Your Processes. Great leaders are able to delegate and trust others to do the work. When you’ve got clear roles and optimal operations with productive procedures you and your team can achieve great things in record time.
Now that you have the foundations in place, you can focus on Developing Possibilities. You’ll have the time to get clear on your Vision and Goals, knowing that you can communicate in a way that the team understands and engages. You’ll also have the bandwidth to apply tools and techniques to manifest your vision as well as an awareness of and tools to overcome any obstacles that are standing in your way.
When you join the Leading Yourself and Leading Others experience, you’ll be guided along the Leading Yourself and Leading Others Success Path.
How Does It Work?
5 Easy Steps to Becoming a Better You and a Better Leader
Step 1 – Your Integrity and Values Profile
Prior to the first workshop, you will complete an Integrity and Values profile and receive a two-hour face to face feedback session and written report. This standarised and validated psychometric profile looks at 20 traits that dtermine success in leadership, which are clustered in six key areas:
- Integrity and Values
- Self-Management
- Task Focus
- Relationship Management
- Vision
- Impression Management
Normally ($1200)
Step 2 – 4 full day workshops
The experience includes 4 full days workshops (Tuesdays in February 2025). These workshops have been designed to provide maximum learning opportunities, catering for all styles of learning. Workshops are interactive, jam-packed with activities, exercises and group processing and facilitation of your individual issues. Shirley will be leading this experience.
Step 3 – 2 hours face to face individual coaching.
You receive 2 hours face to face individual coaching with Shirley. Shirley will work with you to integrate your learnings and support you through the process.
Step 4 – Mastermind Group Meeting
You will also participate in 1 Mastermind group meeting where you can access the wisdom and experience of your fellow participants. Ask for and give advice on issues raised at the meetings. This is an invaluable opportunity to access your brains trust. Walking away with the templated Agenda, you’ll be able to create your own Mastermind group.
Not only will you learn for yourself, you’ll be given the resources to train others in your team and also share with those in your personal life. It is an expectation of the experience that you will share this knowledge. We want you to share to help others improve their relationships too.
Bonus 1 – One Year Subscription to the Leading Yourself and Leading Others – THE VAULT
Repetition is mastery.
Bonus 2 – REACH 360 Feedback
In addition to your own REACH profile to help you understand your own personality and leadership traits, you’ll also receive a REACH 360 Feedback so your team can provide you with valuable feedback on how they perceive your leadership skills. One of the biggest blindspots for leaders is not knowing how they show up to their team.
Now more than ever the world and your team
need you to step up and be the leader!

That all changed for me when I was offered a promotion at age 40 to the role of General Manager. My then Managing Director had seen the results I achieved, but he also saw the mess I left behind and added one condition to his offer – I was to spend four hours a week for the next ten weeks with Shirley Dalton. At the time I thought this was rubbish. I didn’t need coaching, I’m the guy that gets things done. Little did I know this would CHANGE MY LIFE. The coaching started and I still thought it was rubbish, it was all about me?; not running a business, not reading the P & L, not making the big calls. I was forced to look at myself and I didn’t like what I was looking at. I fought this until one evening after a coaching session when I was ranting on about my coach my wife said to me – “I don’t know whether she is right or wrong, but I do know she is in your head and she may have a point” Ouch!
From that moment on I realised “this was about me”. Every session after this I learned more about myself, more about what made me tick and how I had an effect on everybody around me. I started to reflect on my life and what was truly important to me. From here I was able to identify my values and by committing to those values I can live with integrity and from integrity comes fulfillment.
This was the biggest challenge I have faced and the MOST REWARDING. It has made an immeasurable difference to all aspects of my life and gave me the tools to “Decide on Purpose”. I now know I get the most fulfillment from helping people grow and reach their potential. My measure of success is no longer about how much money I have or if I closed that big contract, it comes from knowing my values and living by those values, living with integrity. It comes from within.
