NRG Leadership Express program in 2023:

In 2023 I have revamped my NRG Leading for Express program to reflect the post Covid-19 world we are now living in. The program can be delivered either as a virtual program or face-face. It consists of 4 x half-day modules.

What makes NRG Leadership Express different to other leadership programs

1. My unique style – I have been a corporate trainer since 2000. I have a unique delivery style that combines education, research, storytelling, structure and practical relevant skill development activities. I assist participants to unlock their leadership potential by helping them to remove self-limiting barriers, increase their awareness of their leadership style and show them a clear pathway they can follow to become more successful.
2. High quality take away tools and course materials – All attendees leave the NRG Leadership Express program with practical tips, tools and templates. Our course materials have been constantly developed and refined over the past 18 years and are relevant, practical and clearly laid out.   
3. The group experience – You will learn a lot about yourself by being part of a group on the NRG Leadership Express program. You will be encouraged to develop and enhance your working relationships with other attendees on the program. By being part of a high performing group, your own experience is greatly enhanced.

Testimonials

A quick note to say thank you very much for organising and running the leadership Express workshop last Friday. I got a lot out of it and look forward to introducing some of your ideas at work.
I really enjoyed the day, met some lovely people and was impressed with the energy in the room. The way you were able to involve all of the participants and initiate the sharing of ideas and experiences was first class.
I also liked how you allowed sufficient breaks for everyone to attend to any emails etc. The catering was delicious. Now it’s time to meditate.
