The Art of Confident Leadership - Bunbury

The Art of Confident Leadership

New revised format - less focus on theory, and more focus on exactly what to do (and say) when things get tricky in the workplace.

This one-day training is for leaders who want to feel more confident in having difficult conversations, setting expectations, handling resistance, and driving change without having to become rigid or harsh. It's also for leaders who want to soften their approach without needing to over-accommodate or enable poor performance in the process.

Tools that make leadership easier so you won't have to overwork, overthink, or overpower.

Feedback from last week's delivery of this training:

“Hi Leanne, I wanted to personally reach out to thank you for the excellent leadership training session you delivered to some of Warrikal emerging leaders today. I am pleased to share that the feedback has extremely positive. The participants specifically highlighted the relevance of the content, the practical tools provided, and your engaging delivery style. It is clear the sessions resonated strongly with the group. Thank you again for the great work and we look forward to collaborating again in the future.” - Tracy Brathaug, General Manager - Operational Services - Warrikal

And feedback from one of the participants:

"Attending a leadership training session that was a little outside the box was a great surprise. It had us so engaged I genuinely forgot the time, which rarely happens. Apparently growth can sneak up on you when you are actually enjoying yourself.

It also reminded me that leadership does not come in one neat style. Mine might look different to yours, and that is the point. We all offer different opportunities, perspectives and energy to a room. The magic is not in being the same, it is in being aware enough to use our differences well.

Thank you Leanne Shaw 👏🏻 for stretching our thinking and making the experience so memorable." - Brooke Marshall.

What you’ll learn:

Your leadership style
No big fancy graphs or models you need a PhD to interpret. We have designed a simple, easy to understand questionnaire that will help you understand why you do what you do, and how to do things differently without needing to BE different. Many past participants have shared that the insight they got from this part was worth the entire training fee (and then some) on it's own.

A simple way to handle push backs
The reason we find it hard to respond when people push back, is that we often believe that confrontation is the only way to resolve things. Our four-step process is going to teach you how to recognise what a push back really is and how to respond to it without getting combative or confrontational. The great thing about this approach, is that when you use it consistently, your people will automatically start being more mindful about how they communicate with you and more accountable for being a part of the solution.

The other great thing is that you, as a leader, will become more mindful about your own communication and able to ensure that you're conducting yourself professionally and respectfully.

You’ll learn how to strengthen accountability, align behaviour with values, and lead with clearer professional boundaries.

People don’t change because they’re told to. If you’re dealing with staff who avoid hard conversations, lack courage, or stay stuck despite encouragement or performance plans, this will give you real insight into why. We’ll unpack the underlying drivers that shape how people think, feel, and perform, so you can understand, support, and motivate different personalities more effectively.

PLUS: You will also create an action plan over the course of the day that will help you continue to create change in a simple, sustainable way instead of getting a big dose of training learndigestion that overwhelms you and inspires you to do nothing.

This training is limited to 12 participants and includes:

• Easy to understand leadership education and practical tools you can use straight away.

• Refreshments and lunch in accordance with your dietary requirements (as long as you register more than 5 days prior to training date, otherwise a standard meal will be provided).

Feedback from past participants of this training:

“Mindblowing!” - Janet. L - Mandurah

“What I really valued about this training was that it came with strategies that I can actually use, not just the usual delivery of leadership stuff that sounds good but is completely unrealistic in a real-world sense. Thanks for breaking things down for me Leanne.” SP - Local Govt.

“I have been to more leadership training than I can count over the past 20 years, but I have never been to anything like this.” Rod Jenkins (Perth)

"I run my own business and found that I couldn't place expectations on my staff because no matter how I said it, I always managed to upset someone. This training was so helpful because I learned how to completely 180 my communication and raise the bar without raising people's emotions. If you are managing a team that's making you pull your hair out, you need to get along to this. The value far exceeds the ticket price". Jennifer. P. (Perth Cafe Owner)

"I was lucky enough to have my manager book me into the "Art of Confident Leadership training". It was a really well run course, with Leanne providing an amazing learning environment. It was ran at an excellent pace and well delivered. The subject matter was very relevant, and I am already using many aspects of the training on a daily basis. Would recommend this course to anyone wanting to take their leadership to the next level, thanks again Leanne." - Steve Wharton (TADWA)

“I don’t think my team will be the only ones thanking you, I reckon my wife will be sending you a Christmas card too!” Paul. W. (Busselton)

"As a manager, I found it really hard to give feedback to staff about their work because I didn't want to upset anyone, so I just filled in the gaps myself. Since doing this training, I have learned how to change that - and the benefits have been two-fold. My staff are stepping up and taking a lot more ownership of their work because I have learned how to give them really good feedback and the second benefit is that I have freed up a huge amount of time which means I'm able to get my own work done. This training has also had a massively positive impact on how I interact with my partner." - Amanda. C - NFP (Mandurah).
