The Habits of Leadership Academy

A fresh format for 2025!

The Habits of Leadership Academy is an Online Group Coaching Forum in which leaders come together in small cohorts for eight sessions over the course of a year.

Together we explore the theories, challenges & opportunities of leading in 2025 & beyond.

Wherever you are on your leadership journey, wherever you are in the World, the Academy is for you.

The opportunity to participate in the Habits Academy has been extremely beneficial to me in my role as a leader in public health care. I have learnt so much from not only Dan and Tim but the other participants in the group who all come from very different work places than my own. Despite the differences, the similarities of challenges have been quite striking. As a result of participating in the Academy my assumptions around leadership skills and what I contribute has been challenged and I have had the opportunity to be exposed to some innovative thinkers in this space. In addition to the personal development I have also had a blast - really and truly enjoyed the sessions each month and feel richer for it.

How it works

The absolute best way to explore leadership and the challenges that go with it! Dan and Tim are knowledgeable and personable.The podcasts alone are great for stimulating thinking about different aspects of leadership, but the best aspect for me was the small group sessions. These allowed me to engage in deep conversations about leadership that were personalised to my context. Highly recommended!

How will the Zoom Sessions work?

Zoom sessions consist of only a small number of participants in order to ensure an immersive and valuable experience for all. We also make use of the ‘breakout room’ feature so you’re able to engage in meaningful dialogue with your cohort.

As well as addressing current issues, we dig deeper into the work of the world’s leading experts in the field of leadership who we’ve been fortunate enough to interview specifically to support you.

You also have the opportunity to jump into the Hot Seat in which you can bring a challenge you’re dealing with specifically to gain insight from your Academy colleagues.

Along with the occasional reading The Academy is sure to stimulate and support you in your role.

The Habits Academy is a leadership investment! Dan and Tim supported me to work with and effectively lead a small group successfully. They challenged me to think about my style of leadership and how to increase engagement and achieve high performance in a team environment. Thanks Dan & Tim!
