Custom Leadership Programs to Build a Resilient, High-Performing Culture

Are you tired of “one-size-fits-all” training that doesn’t stick? You invest in developing your people, but weeks later, old habits creep back in, and the real challenges remain unsolved. Your organisation has unique needs, a distinct culture, and specific goals. You deserve a leadership program that honours that.

At Head to Head, we don’t have a standard playbook. We partner with you to design and deliver custom corporate leadership training programs that create genuine, sustainable change. We focus on developing the human skills at the core of great leadership, building a stronger, more connected team from the inside out.

Is Your Leadership Pipeline Ready for the Future?

Many organisations promote their best technical experts into leadership roles, only to find that the skills that made them great at their job aren’t the skills they need to lead a team.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re seeing friction between capable, well-meaning team members.
  • Employee engagement is down, and you’re worried about losing your best people.
  • Your new managers feel overwhelmed, defaulting to authority instead of influence.
  • Past training has failed to create the lasting cultural shift you’re aiming for.

These aren’t individual failings; they are systemic challenges that require a systemic solution. It’s time to move beyond temporary fixes and invest in a true leadership development program.

Our Approach: A Partnership in People Development

We believe that the most effective leadership programs are built with you, not just for you. Our process is a collaborative partnership designed to get to the heart of what your team truly needs. We blend decades of real-world experience with a proven, data-driven methodology.

  1. Discovery & Diagnosis: We start by listening. We work to understand your strategic goals and the specific challenges your leaders face. Using world-class diagnostic tools, we get an objective look at your team’s dynamics, communication styles, and underlying friction points.
  2. Custom Program Design: Based on the diagnosis, we design a unique program tailored to your team. We select the right modules, methodologies, and learning experiences to address your specific needs, whether it’s for emerging leaders, experienced operations managers, or senior leaders.
  3. Engaging Delivery & Facilitation: Our facilitators are experts at connecting with leaders at all levels. While based in Melbourne, we deliver our leadership training across Victoria and the Sunshine Coast, or virtually, using engaging methods that ensure everyone is involved.
  4. Sustain & Embed: This is where real change happens. We don’t just walk away after the workshop. We provide follow-up sessions and support to ensure new skills are embedded and the learning is translated into daily leadership habits.

 

Core Capabilities Your Leaders Will Develop

While every program is unique, our focus is on building the core human skills that are essential for modern leadership.

Your leaders and managers will learn to:

  • Lead with Self-Awareness: Understand their own strengths, triggers, and impact on others. 
  • Communicate with Influence: Articulate their vision, provide constructive feedback, and navigate difficult conversations. 
  • Build Emotionally Intelligent Teams: Foster a culture of trust, empathy, and psychological safety. 
  • Drive Effective Change: Guide their teams through uncertainty with confidence and resilience.

Think Strategically: Move from day-to-day problem-solving to a more strategic, forward-thinking mindset.

Our Diagnostic Toolkit for Deeper Insight

Our corporate leadership training programs are data-informed. We use these powerful tools to move beyond guesswork and create genuine breakthroughs:

  • WholeBrain Thinking (HBDI®): We profile your team’s thinking preferences to unlock more effective communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.
  • DiSC® Behavioural Assessment: This helps individuals understand their behavioural styles and learn how to adapt to work more effectively with others.
  • LEGO® Serious Play®: We use this hands-on methodology to unlock creativity, deepen reflection, and bring complex strategic ideas to life in a tangible way.

“From the first few minutes of the program I knew this was going to be different. Richard created the space throughout the program to continually challenge ourselves. I could feel this wasn’t an off-the-shelf leadership course. The mix of real stories, practical tools, and space to reflect stuck with me long after it finished. Months later, I still find myself using the same questions and frameworks in conversations with my team disrupt and shift is the name of the game.”
