The Next Level Leaders Program

Master the ArtS of Leadership at the next level.

Are you a middle-manager, senior associate, sales manager, business owner or a scale-up entrepreneur who would like to strengthen your leadership mindset and skills to meet some or all of the following challenges:

1. Getting the best focus or motivation out of your team
2. Struggling with personal confidence and focus
3. Projecting a strong executive brand or presence
4. Building engagement with your team or key stakeholders
5. Managing an increasingly multi-cultural environment or team
6. Regularly struggling with overwhelm and no work/life balance


If so, then your ability to communicate, strategise and motivate your teams, stakeholders and colleagues is essential. In an increasingly AI world, your people skills are now more important than just your expertise. In the new Hybrid and AI world we need to be more than just experts, we need to be influencers too.

Stef Du Plessis:
How Workplace Culture Stifles Performance and Erodes Work-life Integration and What You as a Leader Can Do About It
Research shows that employees can, and want to, 'give' substantially more.

So, what stops them? Workplace culture. Leaders, everywhere, know this - but most admit that they don't know how to 'manage' culture. So it's left to chance.

The Unwritten Ground Rules, or UGRs, concept changes that. Because it provides a simple and practical, one-of-a-kind approach to understanding, assessing, improving, and embedding a culture-by-design that will enable the delivery of your strategic objectives, whilst at the same time making yours a great place to work. So say the leaders across the organisations in 50+ countries who have used UGRs to ramp up employee engagement, boost performance and bolster overall employee wellbeing. Including organisations like McLaren, Barclays Bank, KMart Australia, and many others - as well as a whole host of smaller companies, too. Across all industries.

But you need more than a framework to re-boot your culture. You also need your people to really 'want to' embark on the journey with you. And that's why the UGRs concept rests on a foundation of deep-rooted personal engagement - a unique approach to employee engagement, leadership, and work-life integration.
