Export & Leadership Development Programs
Many companies promote high-performing employees into management roles, recognizing their potential. But to truly thrive as leaders, they need structured guidance and skill-building. Without a strong foundation of management training, even the most driven individuals can miss out on tools that support effective leadership. Empowering new managers with these resources ensures they’re equipped to grow confidently in their roles and lead with impact.

Line & Middle Managers Leadership
Many companies reward talented staff with promotions, but who equips them with the skills to thrive in their new role? Who teaches them to be effective managers and leaders? Often, newly promoted employees struggle — not due to a lack of experience, drive, or ability — but because they haven’t received the necessary training and tools to succeed in their transition into management.
Our IGNITE training is specifically designed to provide your newly promoted staff with the skills and confidence they need to excel in their new roles.
Typically, six or seven full day workshops (or 12/14 half days) are spread over six months to minimise work disruption to the business and optimise learning / change implementation.
